Zoloft Problem/Weight

confused317

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?

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.
