A member asked:
Will taking 100 mg of sertraline cause weight gain or hair loss? i am switching from effexor (venlafaxine) xr and worried about weight gain!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Zoloft (sertraline) is considered weight neutral. Weight gain can occur but is infrequent. I have never seen. Zoloft (sertraline) lead to hair loss. Best wishes.
