Weight Gain on Antidepressants
If you visit google and do a quick search, you might be convinced that your antidepressant doesn’t cause weight and it’s just your imagination. Here from others struggling with weight gain after starting antidepressants
Weight gain
Sert kills good gut bacteria
I could be wrong, but I think this stuff (sertraline) kinda kills your good bacterial in your gut. I gained 35 lbs in a year on Zoloft. I got off and still couldn’t lose weight. Like not even a pound even tho I was eating right and working out . I started taking a good probiotic and suddenly I was losing weight. I’m now down 20 lbs. Getting my gut health together helped me a little. Try adding probiotics or even just cottage cheese, yogurt, kimchi etc
Lose the Sert, lose the weight
I gained weight very quickly in this medication. Eventually I did lose it but it was really hard took three times longer to lose than gain. Still half a stone heavier than when I started but it is doable… I don’t think it’ll happen if you are still on the medication. I’m no longer on it. Good luck.
Gained on zo
Gained 50 lbs on Zoloft over 5 years. Lost 20lb after halving my dose within 2 months
yep
Yes, that’s one reason I’m trying to get off of them
Metabolism
Yeah the exhaustion and weight gain combo is so common when tapering multiple meds like that. Prozac and Wellbutrin especially mess with your metabolism and appetite regulation.
