hi Thanks for all the info. I do go to the gym and have been doing circuit weight training for about a year prior to going on Zoloft. I had actually lost weight from weight training and cardio with an eleiptical trainer so I know the benefits. The Zoloft HAS DEFINITELY slowed my metabolism though and put unwanted FAT on my body...believe me...this is not muscle weight gain. I notice my butt and hips have spread and I am having to use the last hook on my bra now because it is too tight around my rib cage. I've put on an inch around my waist too. What I have now is a layer of fat over my muscle. I hate to sound like I'm whining but I have always taken pride in my body and tried to keep physically fit. Feeling fat and unsexy is a very unwanted and discouraging side effect. I once went on tricyclics and gained weight on those too and got constipated so I don't want to use those anymore either. I am going to try Wellbutrin first to see if it will work for me.
> I'm barging in and I'm sorry, but I am trying to figure out what other classes of Anit- Deprs. are you talking about? I am thinking my Wellbutrin is not working at ALL -L
