OMG I thought that I was the ONLY one! It seems like everyone else that I know that's taking Zoloft (sertraline) is losing...


I gained at LEAST 10 lbs on it in a few months. Ugh!

Add me to the group of people who gained on it. I gained 50 lbs in a little less than a year. I'm now not taking anything and trying to lose the weight again per my doctor's orders. The weight gain made my depression worse so the side effects were no longer worth it.
