Is 50mg enough to cause weight gain?
33F, this is my second time on Zoloft. I’m only on 50mg, & I don’t think I’ve ever been on a higher dose. One of my former doctors told me it’s probably not the Zoloft, because “for most people, 50mg isn’t considered a therapeutic level anyway.”
But each time now, I feel like I’ve gained several stingy pounds that are enough to make my clothes fit uncomfortably. I want to eat all the sugary and carby stuff. I am ravenous when I get home from work even with a filling lunch and a mid-day snack. The hunger makes it difficult to stay in a calorie deficit. However, it’s hard for me to distinguish whether or not it’s the Zoloft, or the fact that the times I go on Zoloft coincide with when I’m obviously feeling depressive symptoms and eat my feelings. Then once I’m on Zoloft, I don’t/struggle to drop the weight.
