Hi

I have been on 150mg Sertraline for about 2 1/2 years. In this time I have gained nearly 3 stone, and my weight gain is still continuing. I am now overweight at 11st 9lbs and am 5ft5. Although, Sertraline has helped me a great deal, I feel I need to stop it to lose some weight. My weight is getting me down alot.  Has anyone lost weight through stopping Sertraline? Or found it easier to lose weight without it?

Many Thanks

    Also I have mild chronic fatigue syndrome, and wondered if the Sertraline may have helped cause it?

    Oh wow, I've been on sertraline for a year and put on 2stone!!

    It gets me down too, I'm also trying to come off.

    Can I ask how you are doing it and have u had withdrawal symptoms?

    I've been trying to break off a tiny bit of my tablet each day and take the remaining amount .

    I've been doing it for 6 weeks now and only today did I feel a bit bad, I've been a tad down and moody, with feelings of very slight anxiety.

    Have you experienced this at all?
