Sertraline round 2... How can I avoid weight gain??
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi!
I've been on sertraline before about a year or 2 ago, they did wonders for me but I seemed to gain around 2 stone in the space of a year.
Now I'm taking it again and my side effects have gone I seem to have an increased appetite and want eat a lot! Believe me it's hard to resist the urge to eat lol
I've been on it for almost 4 weeks now and have been keeping track of my weight, at present I haven't gained any but I'm dreading it coming back on again
Has anyone gained and lost weight whilst being on this tablet?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I seemed to be up and down alot in the beginning but now I think I'm stabilising.
I had awful anxiety at the start, upset stomach, felt sick, sweated loads, had diminished appetite, now almost on week 4 I still sweat quite abit, and I can't seem to sleep much I also have increased appetite.
I wish I'd lost weight I could do with it lol
Overall I'm starting to feel more like myself again, alot lighter in my head if you know what I mean. And I don't get the urge to cry for nothing or at pathetic things.

maybe sertraline isn't the right med for u Hun if your still not feeling right? But I hav heard it can take quite a while for them to get into your system. Like a month or 2. Just keep an eye on how your feeling and if the weight loss is bothering You maybe see your doctor x

Over the past few days I've felt really weird!! Kinda shaky and abit lacking in energy.
Only felt like this for the last few days.
Was thinking it could be my blood sugar levels? Or something like that. I'm not diabetic but think I'm gonna get myself checked out... Hope it's not that!
