years ago I went on Zoloft and lost 10 pounds without noticing. I felt a lot better and had good energy, and that was great. I was on the med for chronic pain at the time. When I tried it for depression a few years later, it was neutral, didn't lose or gain. I recently had to go back on an antidepressant again, and the one originally recommended by a consultant has a reputation for weight gain. My family doc wasn't comfortable with that, since I am pre-diabetic, and she didn't want to work on one issue to the detriment of another. So we are trying Wellbutrin. so far, the depression is slightly better, (since June when I started) and my weight loss is still going ok. I am doing IF/EF and low carb/high fat with that for the most part. I cheat with some fruit, LOL.
She had hopes that the Wellbutrin, which also treats some addictions, especially tobacco addictions, will help my food "addictions". And I am doing better about not thinking about food all the time, but the IF/EF also helps with that.
I hope you are doing well with this medication.
