You gained weight because you ate too much and didn't exercise enough.

I took Zoloft for 5 years. It probably saved my life, it certainly saved my marriage and my career. No significant side effects. After a few years I found that I didn't need it any more - the medication helped me break the mental habits I had which contributed to my depressions, and those habits never came back.

If anything I lost weight on Zoloft, because I no longer felt like moping around and watching videos all the time.

funny, when i was taking zoloft it actually decreased my appetite. i lost 5 lbs over a 3 week period. from 170lbs to 165lbs. it also made me a sex god, i could jerk it like no other for hours on end if i felt like it.

but over the 3 weeks time i took it it really did nothing for my social anxiety. you have depression so your mileage may vary.
#1 - I'm not sure "jerking it" qualifies one for sexual diety status. :Q

#2 - Perhaps it wasn't the Zoloft depressing your appetite that got you to lose 5lbs in 3 weeks. Perhaps it was the additional excercise and loss of fluid. ;)

LOL I think that qualifies as ownage.

couple of other side effects i got

for the first 2 weeks i couldn't get any sort of sleep. the sleep that i was finally able to get, which took 3 hours, only gave me 2-3 hours of sleep and then i was wide awake. it was a living hell for me when it was bedtime, something i regretted.

also, it induces psychosis. i was getting panic attacks, and feelings of going crazy a couple of times. it would have been more but i had to control myself. funny thing is this medication is also used to treat panic attacks.

after 2 weeks, pretty much only side effects was the sex god thing.

Yeah............

...............okay.

I think you need someone else to worship you in order to be considered a god. If there's no female in your bed saying, "you're a sex god," I think you probably ought to give that a rest. Your right hand too ;)
