My side effects on Zoloft The anti-depressant medication

Posted , 1 user is following.

i started taking this medication around the age of 13 well the day after my birthday.. the doctors put me on zoloft.. and i gained about 45 pounds in 2 years (not normal) my appetite went way up.. id always be eating something even after dinner id still be hungry for something. Also the medication really did not help me with the depression part, its almost like it paused where i was feeling and just always felt down or felt the same.. i felt worse honestly, then i got off and i still had the same eating habbits.. i went vegan to see if i could lose weight and my weight dropped quick. took about 2 to 3 months for me to lose 45 pounds... but then i started developing an eating disorder just because i was scared of gaining that weight back.. i feel better about eating but to this day i still am hungry all the time and now have trouble digesting food properly.. i don’t recommend this medication!! same happened to other people thats been on it!!!
