[quote=Anonymous]I feel your pain OP.

I take 200 mg. of Zoloft and have had weight gain, but I also take other meds so it may be the other meds along with the Zoloft that collectively contribute to the weight gain. I am a usually skinny person, yet on meds I look bloated and I feel so unattractive. I hate seeing my reflection in the mirror and I absolutely hate how I look in photos too.

I decided to go off the meds about three years ago to get my figure back which I did..(took about three months off the meds for my figure to return.) People thought I went on a diet, the weight loss was that noticeable and I felt wonderful and secure regarding my appearance and body.

But inwardly, I was a mental mess. I was depressed, anxious and quite obsessive, etc. I had to weigh the pros against the cons and finally decided that I couldn't function anymore without my medicine.

In life, you never get something for nothing and nothing screams that more than my situation regarding medication.

Yes, I get to feel good, I can function well and not worry about my moods anymore and having to stress and deal with my anger and anxiety, but at the same time the trade off is I have now gained back the weight and look bloated and less attractive.[/quote]
