Weight Gain from Zoloft
The past year or so, my anxiety was at an all time high, and I had to be prescribed sertraline to help control my anxiety symptoms. Luckily, it's been helpful for my anxiety but the side effects are... less than ideal. I've put on a ton of weight over the past two months I've been taking sertraline, and I just upped my dose last week, which is making me gain even more weight it seems. I'm just feeling pretty nervous and uncomfortable from all of this, especially having never been this heavy before. I've been underweight my whole life and now my clothes barely fit me, and it feels like no matter what I eat, more fat keep piling on my frame... I'm feeling really lost.
Does anyone have any experience with this? It's been really rough for me..
