it causes rapid weight loss for me... my doctor put me on a trail dose and I lost 10 pounds in a week now im takeing I thing 50ml and it makes my depprison worst and makes people think im starveing my self... and im takeing both and I conestly am upset..
I just started zoloft, I don't need to gain weight!!! How is the lexapro working? I am so nervous of new medicines : (
I am 25. I started on Zoloft when I was 23, for anxiety and partially for the post partum depression after my first and only child. My dr. also prescribed me xanax, as needed, for emergency panic attacks. With the Zoloft, I started at 15 mgs and am currently taking 75mgs daily. In the beginning I definitely noticed a weight change, lost about 10 pounds but since then I have stayed about the same weight. 4 months ago I went back to my psychiatrist to let him know my anxiety was peaking a lot more than normal and I was more unorganzied than usual and that friends and family were always telling me to slow down. My dr. eneded up prescribing adderrall at 15 mgs (xr) daily. I havent felt any bad side effects thus far. I have been able to sleep better because I take the adderall in the morning and by the end of the day it is about worn out of my system. My anxiety is kept at bay.
My Dr. did reccommend that I take a break in taking the addrerall weekly. Zoloft takes time to build up in your system to work, where as the adderrall kicks in about 15-20 mins after you take it. In order for my body/mind not to become dependent on it, I try to take a break from it on days when I feel I wont be as stressed and frantic.
Good Luck :)
And 3 other people I know on Zoloft - same thing. Weight LOSS.
