I haven’t been online for a little while because I have been busy, and pretty suicidal.
But, I have been on Zoloft 50mg for about 4 months already and I have gained about 5 pounds. And as some of you know I am also anorexic so I may not have gained as much as others. But I have not stopped eating in these past few months. Before Zoloft I would go 2-3 days without eating. And now I haven’t been able to stop myself from eating 2 almost 3 meals. And part of the reason I am on Zoloft is because I consider myself fat, and i am considered obese because of how much i weigh. So i don’t eat, but with Zoloft I will never be happy or “normal” because Zoloft is making me gain weight, when what i want is to lose this weight.
Has anyone else that is taking or has taken Zoloft experienced weight gain?

When I was on citalopram I gained some weight, I’m on lexapro now (it’s only been a month) and I haven’t gained anything yet.
I’m sure you’ve heard this a million times, but eating multiple small meals through the day is better for you than starving yourself. Blah blah blah, all stuff you’ve heard. Maybe work out and the weight gain can be tone/muscle? I’m a hypocrite bc I’ve been procrastinating starting a work out regime again.
Try not to spend time on the scale and looking in the mirror. Try to do what helps you feel better/different/whathaveyou.
I have image issues too… Sometimes I like what I look like, but I often do not
Eating 3 meals a day is the way its supposed to be. You should talk with a therapist and a nutritionist, if you’re not already, to help you plan out meals that are healthy for your body type and your mental health issues.
Haven’t noticed weight gin with Zoloft but withother drugs I have
