Serious weight gain

[Khaleve]

So since July/August I’ve gained about 40lbs. Pretty sure it’s down to the increased sertraline I was on. 200mg. Meds have now been swapped. Has anyone else had issues like this?

Hello. Just read your post and I was on sertraline 200g this past 2 years, this last year I've put on nearly 3 stone. Just came off the meds now. But wondering if they helped with my weight gain?? Anyway good luck xxx

Yeah I did have a very long conversation with my dr about it. Considering my food diary and the fact that I’ve been eating a pretty good vegan diet I still gained almost 10lb a month. Crazy really.

Madness, if you are off the drug now, time to reset stuff and duet
