Phillipa,
I gained more weight on Zoloft than even Paxil....
I suspect it was for the following reasons
1)I was on too high a dose. Zoloft is potent
2) It doesn't agree with my body and hit other spots it shouldn't have.Everyone is different. For some people, SSRIs are like a vitamin per my PDOC... for others, they carry huge SE's.
I have OCD, panic attacks, type A personality stuff, etc... I choose carefully what I want to treat and how. I let some of the OCD stuff go by the wayside and use talk therapy for my personality as the predominant treatment because I am not willing to use high doses of drugs anymore unless in an emergency. I do use meds for anxiety/panic because I can't be walking around as a nervous wreck all day.
Mileage varies.
