I have been a petite size 2-4 my entire life, but the Zoloft made me gain 22 pounds VERY QUICKLY. This may not seem like a lot, but it is on someone who is only 5'1". <br />I have tried exercise, diet, and more exercise, to no avail.<br />I am now in my second month of trying to taper off the Zoloft. I can't wait to be off of it and hopefully lose some of this weight. Lucy, you are lucky you lose weight with the Zoloft.

Everyone I know (including myself) always loses weight when they take it. I ALWAYS gain weight when I get off it. I am so surprised to hear people blame zoloft for weight gain.

The down fall is that my weight gain of about 15lbs. is a terrible blow to my vanity. I try to crunch my eating habits,because I want to keep my self looking good. I might be going on 51 and being a woman is hard. I work in a large school dept and have active contact with all peoples in the community.For now this is what I need to do to get me thru my times now. My husband and grown sons tell me that I'm so much better on the zoloft. I guess for now its me and my zoloft. Mrs.G Hi People…

Zoloft makes you be less fussy about things.. So often people would occassionally have that extra little bit of something to eat.<br /><br />If the diet remains the same while on zoloft but weight gain occurs, well it's clear that something isn't right about the drug.<br /><br />I did experience weight gain but not sure which one of the above was the reason for it.<br /><br />Just something for you to all think about really.

If the diet remains the same while on zoloft but weight gain occurs, well it's clear that something isn't right about the drug.

I did experience weight gain but not sure which one of the above was the reason for it.

Just something for you to all think about really.

After three years on the stuff I have gained roughly 60 lbs. It's a horrible feeling. We are using the liquid form to get me off of it. I'm in the middle of a zoloft taper myself.

I was on Zoloft after I had my daughter for post partum depression. I am in a job to where I have to work out all the time, while on Zolft I dropped 20lbs with almost no effort. There are multiple side effects to Zoloft. Now with that being said it was hard to keep the weight off after I stopped using Zoloft, but if you truly need this medication stay on it. (For those who want to know my normal weight off Zoloft was around 150-155 on Zoloft it was 140-144). Zoloft effects people in different ways.
