2 poss side effects: Weight loss and weight gain are both listed as possible side effects to zoloft (sertraline). Some, when depressed, resort to eating and when zoloft (sertraline) starts to work, one might eat less and lose weight. On the other hand, some when depressed have poor appetite and when improved with zoloft (sertraline), may eat more and thus gain weight. All depends on the individual. Talk with your doctor.
