Default Uh oh..doctor upped my dosage of Zoloft...

A couple of days ago, my Shrink upped my dosage of Zoloft from 50 mg to 100 mg. She said I might get increased appetite. Has anyone else experienced this?

You might want to do a search here on Zoloft, I know there has been lots of discussion on it before.

I was on Zoloft for a few weeks and had to get off b/c it gave me wicked thoughts. I then went on Welbutrin and did fantastic.

Does the 50 mg make you hungry?

Not sure if you've been taking the 100 mg but I thought I'd give you my two cents -- zoloft made me gain 20 lbs over the course of between 6 months-one year...i took 100 mg as well during that time
Is it something I regret b/c of the weight gain? deffinatly.
I should have asked to go on something that wouldnt affect my weight...
