Having had and still having a swallowing disorder, Ive just been put onto these which I have to start on Monday. Starting on 50mg x 3 daily, and going upto 150mg x3 daily as I build up to it. (Is there a reason why you have to take it 3 times a day?)
I have been on Sertraline for 3 months but they have had little effect.
Im a little concerned about weight gain, which is funny since I barely eat anyway due to my problem, Im almost managing to maintain my weight at the minute with the help of complan, but I am a normal weight at the moment, and I do not want to balloon. I used to be pretty fat about 5 years ago, and I never want to be like that again because it was very depressing. I just want to be able to eat normally and healthily so am happy to try these tablets in the hope that it will help me get back into a normal eating routine, but I am concerned about the weight gain. Im also concerned that if I do start to gain weight for no apparent reason, it will lead to an eating disorder, because I really do not want to be overweight.
I just wondered, is the weight gain caused by feeling more hungry and eating more, or is it just a fact that they make you put it on no matter what you eat?
Thanks.
