I have been taking zoloft for about 6 months now. I have always been extremely skinny and never able to gain weight. I have gained 35 pounds since I have been on it and was wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if its actually the medicine doing it.

I took the same medicine as well and gained at least 25 pounds from it. i just ended up switching to a different medicine and it never made me gain any weight.

I have heard of alot of people gaining weight like this but it doesnt show weight gain as possible side effects. Thanks for the input I might switch as well because I really dont want this to keep happening.

I am using this medicine and here it says on the packaging that a possible side effect of Zolft is weight gain. I have not gained weight yet. I hope I will not gain weight, guess that would depress me even more. How is the zoloft working for you? Do you have benefit using it? Do you have treatment besides the medicines? If you don't want to reply I understand it is kind of personal but I just wanted to know how the treatment differs from ours in Holland. I am also under treatment with a psychologist and group.
