Re: Coming off Sertraline (Zoloft) - August 28th 2020, 02:42 AM

Hey Hestina,

It sounds like Zoloft is really causing some serious side effect on you. I too have taken Zoloft and stopped about half year ago, and it caused me to lose sleep and gain lots of weight (over 25 pounds). Combing that situation with my PCOS, It became really hard for me to lose weight and I was constantly aggitated and depressed. My mother urged me to start working out and eat healthy, and she stopped me from taking Zoloft. It does have withdraws but it only lasted about 1 and a half weeks for me, and I had only been taking zoloft 2 months. I highly suggest you to call your doctor or therapist to tell them about your condition. They might reduce the dosage or switch to something lighter. Exercising, or even just fast walking, and eating healthy really help too, and I found out that cleaning and organizing around my study environment has a positive effect on my mood too. I hope you feel better soon. Hugs~~
