Weight Gain From Zoloft

Is there any way to curtail the weight gain with Zoloft? So far, it's the best antidepressant that has worked for me, but I gained 5 lbs the first week on was on it!

I could be water weight? I haven’t had that issue. Maybe if you take with food and drink 20 ounces of water with it?

I gained weight while on Zoloft, too, so you are not alone! Maybe try more physical activity? Just an idea. I think the Zoloft slowed all of my metabolism.

Last year I went to a nutritionist who pointed out that eating at night can add pounds. I took that advice and lost some weight and kept most of it off. I eat dinner earlier and in the evenings I drink water or decaf tea or a big glass of low fat milk.
Good luck to you 🙂

Sounds like great advice! I'll give it a try.
