A member asked:
Could you lose weight while taking zoloft (sertraline)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, but calories burned will need to exceed calories taken in to lose the weight.If you are struggling with this you could discuss the possibility of change of meds with your provider. If you have atypical depressive symptoms, wellbutrin (bupropion) may be a good option. Lexapro tends to be the most weight neutral of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
