[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly if Zoloft made the difference mentally/emotionally it's worth 15+ pounds.[/quote]

OP again. If I could get past it mentally it would be one thing but the extra weight also puts me in a precarious situation with blood sugar. I had GD so I'm all out of whack after that and my resting glucose borders on high. Like if 100 is the cutoff, it's 95-99. So I need to lose the weight for health reasons as well as vanity reasons.

I am sorry OP. Please remember that stress effects blood sugar immensely. Did it go up when you were on it before? Or is up now when you are not on it?[/quote]

OP again. I have not had it tested since I've been off Zoloft so I'm not sure. It has basically been in that range since I had DS almost 3 years ago because I still had about 15 lbs of baby weight to lose. The Zoloft weight is on top of that so I have about 30 lbs to lose. I've always known that my body doesn't process sugar well so I've always eaten a diet low in carbs to keep it in check.

Maybe I should give it some time for my body to regulate itself off the meds? I'm not feeling like I'm in a depressive state and I haven't had any anxiety attacks since going off of it, so if I can get past the irritability I'd be ok. Summer is a lower stress time for me (no work) so that may help a lot. As crappy as it sounds, right now getting to a reasonable weight is more important to me than not being irritable. I've made an appointment with my old therapist and I'll see what the psych says today.

If anyone had weight gain on  SSRIs, what medication didn't cause weight gain for you? Thanks for your responses.
