I've been offered a chance to take zoloft for my moderate depression and mild anxiety.. However, before I start i have a few questions.
1. what specifically is it in zoloft that makes people gain weight? Is it because it makes you have anexcessive appetite, or is it some sort of chemical thing? Or does it just make you retain water? If it is diet related, then can't one simply diet while taking it?
2. Is it addictive? If one takes it for months do you have to tapper down off it? What happens if you quit taking it cold turkey?
3. What is the usual first dose? Can you have some flexibility in your dosing? I mean if you start feeling a little amped up from it, can you skip a day here and there?
Any help is appreciated.
