    I have been taking sert since April and am currently at 150 mg. I have not gained any weight and am actually down about 23 lbs from the start of the year (some of that was jump started by pretty bad anxiety in January and February). I have heard of weight gain on this drug but myself and also my mom (who has been taking 50 mg for about 15 years) have not had that side effect.
