Has anyone experienced weight gain, and has anyone been able to take off weight with diet and exercise while on this medication? I have been on sertraline for 10 months and I put on 30 pounds. I am happy again and not having any depression, panic or anxiety any more, I am just overweight.
Has anyone been able to loose weight while taking sertraline?

I was on Sertraline several years ago and had gained weight from pregnancy, I was able to lose it by changing my diet and walking/exercise. I actually went down lower than I was in high school. I recently started back on it and have been trying to gain weight lost from anxiety.
Hope it goes well for you!
