I also experienced uncontrollable carb craving on ZOLOFT. I had been taking this med. for about 8 months and two weeks ago stopped cold turkey. I figured the weight gain was generating as much depression as the other issues had that I started taking ZOLOFT for in the first place. the withdrawal was fairly mild compared to stories I had heard and the cravings and hunger went away in very short order. So far the depression hasn't been an issue, I guess because I'm still riding the high of being free from Zoloft’s munchie mania. I hope to start experiencing some weight loss as I've always been sort of a health nut and very weight conscious. Anyway, there’s no doubt in my mind about the ZOLOFT/weight gain connection. Hope this was enlightening.
