After being diegnosed with depression Christmas 2013 I was perscribed calitropram. I came off this due to my appitie increaseing so much and binge eating (increasing weight by nearly two stone). Before the depression I was a fit, strong and healthy lady. The depression doesn't seem to have got any better and i have now been perscribed Sertraline, I am worried that the appitite won't drop. Please could you let me know if more of you have had a decresse in appitite than an increase. Thank you.

    Early on I felt nausea, which lessened my appetite. When  this settles though I do find with Sertraline that it speeds up my digestion and I actually have more hunger! I also notice it feels like it knocks my body into more of a rhythm & I'm hungry at more regular times and I also get tired & sleep in more of a routine.

      I hope that Sertraline will lower my apitite or knock my body back into a rhythm. I've only taken them for the last two night so I will have to wait and see. Thank you for your reply.
