Hi all, I'm new here and found this website as I was searching for weight loss support. I have had depression since I was a kid, but a few years ago I went through a really bad bout and therapy alone was not enough so my doctor put me on a combination of Zoloft and Wellbutrin. I've been on antidepressants in the past and hated them, so I was skeptical, but this time is a different story. I feel amazing and normal for the first time in my life! I finally know that this is how a normal person feels all the time. It's like I haven't been able to see my whole life and just got glasses! Wow! So why am I here you might ask. Well, since starting Zoloft two years ago, I have gained a solid 45 pounds and counting. I am literally starving 24/7 and want to eat everything in sight.
After doing some research last week I finally found that this was the reason and my meds were to blame. This was a huge weight off my shoulders because this weight gain has been out of control and unexplainable until now. But now I know I need support to lose this. And before anyone suggests it, I will not consider changing or stopping my meds. Zoloft is the only medication that has worked for me and not made me feel like a zombie. To me, no price, even 45 pounds, is too much to feel the way I feel versus how I felt during my depression. I just need constant support since my appetite is out of control and I'm constantly starving. I'd love to have a support group of people reminding me I can do this, even despite the effects of my meds! I want to find a way to continue taking Zoloft while still being able to lose weight healthily.
your story made me chuckle! At least it was a good workout
