Weight Loss After Coming Off Zoloft

With today s psychology says weight gain caused by antidepressants should come off after discontinuing the medication for most people but others hold on to excess weight months or years after ditching zoloft and no one really knows why.

Weight loss after coming off zoloft. Any experience with about how long before the weight will start coming off. My doctor switched me to zoloft and it eventually started working in about 2 weeks after i got over the withdrawal from paxil. The encouraging thing is that man.

That is not predictable. Withdrawl symptoms from zoloft and weight gain loss after withdrawl. I am small framed and about 5 7 tall in my mid forties.

Stopping the medication isn t going to make the weight fall off. If zoloft caused or contributed to weight gain how quickly those gains will reverse after discontinuing zoloft is not predictable and cannot be generalized between persons and situations. Like other ssris zoloft may cause weight changes in some people.

After making the connection between the weight gain and the zoloft i weaned myself off which was not fun brain zaps are terrible after about 4 months of struggling to lose the weight and having it not budge i finally got on wellbutrin xl 150mg. 2 6 2013 1 12 03 pm gmt 7. After 2 5 years on zoloft i slowly tapered off and was completely off last september.

Also i gained weight on zoloft not because of zoloft but i m sure it helped the weight come on in addition to my own bad habits. It was so rough but i got through it. Over the course of 4 6 weeks i initially lost about 10 12 pounds.

I guess i should consider myself lucky but my anxiety panic disorder is bad. After about a year the paxil was not working anymore even though i was on a low dose. Also i do not lose weight easily and have always watched my intake within reason.
