A member asked:
Just started on zoloft, (sertraline) only 5mg liquid. i am small build, high metabolism. will the zoloft (sertraline) cause weight gain?

Not likely.: In general, zoloft (sertraline) is weight neutral. However, anything can happen in any patient with any medication because each person is truly unique.
