Hello everyone... I have been on Zoloft for about 2 1/2 months. the first month I took it I was noticing that it didnt give me any side effects which is great. Before I have been on numerous antidepressants the last one was lexapro and i put on 30 pounds. we were trying these for pmdd. So I tried zoloft just hoping trying to lose weight impossible so about 3 weeks ago dr precribed me adipex. well i am starting to be depressed crying all the time flying off the handle. i just cant stand anyone so I am losing some weight but I dont know if it is the zoloft or adipex.. anyone every experienced this?? I am not sure weather to go off the zoloft. my pms is so bad..

The only way to find out which is causing the problem is to go off of both and see how you feel...then, if weight is an issue, ask your doctor about prozac.
