Hello again, as far as appetite suppressants - I am not sure, never taken them. When I was having trouble sleeping I would even get up at 4:00 to take my pill hoping that the "hyper" effects would ware off. I actually think it may have helped.

Hello, I have been on Zoloft for nearly 6 months and I too was worried about weight gain... I haven't gained any weight. Since I was worried about it I kept good track of my weight and appetite to notice any changes.

Hi forum friends, I have a question about getting off Zoloft. I am now down to 12.5mg for the past 6 days and am considering stopping completely. My max dose was 25mg, not much so I haven't had any problems tapering down. Do you all think it's safe to stop at this point? I know it would be a good idea to see my Doc, but I pay for all my medical in cash ...
