Zoloft Problem/Weight

I started low dose of Zoloft on January 1st.  It has helped already with my anxiety so much.  The problem?  I have been barely eating but still slowly gaining weight.  Could this be from the Zoloft?  I know alot of people have gained weight but I thought it was with long term use.  Also I only take 12.5 mg a day.  Please give ur feedback?

It was Paxil and yes 13 years later I am still on it. I only gained the ten pounds, it didnt continue.

So are you still taking Zoloft?  Do you continue to gain weight?

Weight gain is possible for sure. Even with short term use. I gained ten lbs within 2 mnths and I was always very thing. I am happy to hear that it is helping your anxiety.
