I am on zoloft for anxiety and depression, have been for 3 years. Can zoloft make you gain weight or make it difficult to lose weight at this dosage? I gained weight 1 year after starting it, had a baby 9 months ago and can't lose a single pound no matter what I try.

Hi Danielle

Yes, this has been proven by studies that have been done.

If you are considering stopping the zoloft, be sure to do it under doctors supervision. It should be tapered very slowly or you risk having a rebound depression.

And, you may find that things go fine with your anxiety now once you taper off slowly!!

Hope that helps,

Kerry
