    Weight gain

    Hi, I’ve been prescribed sertraline for the first time and although it says on the list weight gain is unlikely I have seen some people talking about the fact they gained weight on them. At the moment I can eat what I want and remain sort of thinish so now I’m not sure if I should watch what I eat.
    If you were prescribed sertraline did you gain weight?

    Re: Weight gain

    Hi eemc
    I was on 50 mg and without changing my diet put on 16 kg over about a year.
    I changed to Lexapro and again without changing my diet lost all of it.

    It can go either way. Some lose weight others gain it, with most staying about the same. If it becomes an issue then this might help: How to control weight gain when prescribing antidepressants (free registration may be required to view)
