Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hi, Everyone is different. My daughter has been on and off Zoloft for 6 years and has gained alot of weight from it, but it helps her so I keep her on it.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 My 11 year old son definately gained a bunch of weight after starting zoloft at age 8 1/2. He has not grown an inch since then and has gone from being super lean and muscular to being kind of chunky with a big gut and " man boobs " . He is very active, plays about 8 hours of hockey or lacrosse a week, eats very well and still putting it on. I guess zoloft is supposed to be weight neutral, but clearly the timing coincided for him. I am hoping when he hits his growth spurt it will go away. We have also been weaning WAY down due to behavioral side effects at high doses, but so far no change in the weight gain problem. I guess everyone is just different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
