Ask:
Medication making me fat?
Is it possible for Zoloft to cause weight gain or cause someone to eat more often and not think much about it? I have been on Zoloft for over a year and I have gained 55 lbs.

Hi Lisabrat,
Changes in appetite and weight are listed as possible side effects of taking Zoloft. Changes in weight and appetite are also symptoms of depression, so its difficult to tell if the drug is causing it, or the underlying condition. You should discuss your concerns with your physican. Perhaps there is another medication out there that is a better match for you, or you can discuss possible strategies to keep your weight in control. Best of luck and keep us posted!
