HELP!I was on zoloft for about a year. Increased my apetite and gained more than 36 pounds. I am asian, 5'4 and used to weight 130 pounds which was pretty standard for me (i thought that was a bit heavy because i received comments that i wasn't think enough). NOw i would be ever so thankful to be 130 again. Instead, I am now 166 pounds. I feel like a beach whale. I've never been this heavy before. None of my clothes fit.
On zoloft, I've gained weight gradually over the months, but lately for the past 3-4 months, I've gained like 10 pounds a month, sometimes 5 pounds a week. It is so scarry!
Ever since i got up to 100mg, i've gained weight like crazy. I cannot stop it and i think its gonig to keep going up. So i've stop zoloft cold turkey. I know it is bad and i should consult my doctor, but i feel more depressed than ever because i am so much fatter. I want to be normal again. Can anyone recommend anything? Anything at all?

if you know any diet pills or any type of weight loss product that would let me lose weight and keep it down. Please let me know.
I am really desperate. I run away from people i know because i am too embarrassed to be seen. I am obsessed with my weight. Please help!

find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), light weight training (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

There are not any 'spells' for weight loss. Weightloss is down for your possess self-control and potential to manipulate your possess frame. If there have been spells for it, do you suppose such a lot of humans could be fats??? The best factor virtually spellcraft for weight loss could be utilising aromtherapy to curb your starvation, however you then'd begoing tino herbalism too, via utilising vegetation to heal. If you could have a weight quandary, you will have to be watching at your self and asking why. Do you alleviation devour? Do you could have a main issue with the forms of meals you devour daily? There's no speedy repair - it customarily took many years to position on that weight, and so it'll take many years to get it off once more. You must study the best way to curb/watch your calorie consumption and exercise a lot more.

As an EXzoloft user let me tell you, you are not alone! Many people gain weight on Zoloft. I actually gained 30lbs and yes I felt even more depressed because of my weight gain too. First let me tell you do NOT go cold turkey! It's very dangerous and will push your depression even further! Contact you Doctor ASAP please! You need to be closely watched during your winging, there is side effects (lightheaded, dizzy spells, but stay strong they will eventually stop, mine over 2 months to finally end!)
Another thing is slow your intake down, portion control is a key. Eat smaller meals, and chose your food wisely, no fatting things, more veggies and keep up on your water! Start exercising! Go for a walk, if you don't want to go to the gym just a nice 30min workout video. Just get active, this will help your depression too!
Forget those diet pills and quick weight lose crap, they are not long term solution. It WILL take time to lose the weight, it will not happen overnight just stick with it, please!
And please contact your doctor.
Good Luck and Take Care!
