Antidepressants have different side effects for different people especially when it comes to increased or decreased appetite. I have been taken Zoloft (Sertraline) 50 mg from generic-meds-store.com for 2 years now for anxiety and it has never affected my weight either up or down. Peace be with you!

Hello @ sheena36 Im on 50mg as well. Has zoloft calm your anxiety for you for two years?

Hi Lovely85,

It has helped mine! Took weeks before I felt an improvement but well worth sticking with it. Don't want to stay on it long term but worried about stopping as I never want to go back to chronic anxiety again. I'm sure it's different for some people but I never felt better since taking Zoloft. Hope this helps

I am on Cipralex for anxiety and I have gained about 3 pounds in 4 mths. I work for a family doctor and she says that some antidepressants do cause weight gain but shoukd stabilize after a while. I think it just depends on the medication. Wish I could have been of more help!
