Off Zoloft, now when will i lose??
So, i weaned myself SLOWWWWLY off 100 mg Zoloft for a period of months after being on it 1.5 yrs.
i had been in maintenance for 3 yrs already after losing over 100 lbs. How i stay in maintenance is eating the same "diet" 6 days a week and i have a "free" day on Fridays. This remained the same during Zoloft. Nothing changed.
i noticed not long after being on it especially the 100 mgs, that i was slowly gaining. Granted it's only been maybe 9 lbs but one certainly feels that especially when it's located mainly in the gut. i even GREATLY tightened up the "free" Friday and now after being off Zoloft about 1.5 months now, i don't think i've lost any but maybe some water weight, as my face is slimmer.
i know 9 lbs or so isn't much but it's scary for one who's in maintenance and has successfully lost (i'm not a yo yo dieter)
I guess my question is, is it going to take a while for my metabolism to normalize to what it was before Zoloft? ANY INPUT from others who are in the same boat?
