Is it possible to wean off of Zoloft and will I lose the weight gain?

You will need to talk to you doctor about coming off Zoloft, so that whatever medical condition you have that required it is appropriately addressed. Your doctor should also be able to advise you as to how best you can lose any gained weight, ie whether calorie control or exercise or a combo is best for your situation.

Yes. The best possible way to wean off in any prescription medication is going it through with your doctor. In my case, when I was already ready to get off medication, I asked my doctor if I can lessen the prescribed dosage.

He looked at me and said yes. It was a gradual process. You have to have determination and the will to get over your anxiety and depression.

Getting off any anti-depressant pills will give a feeling of imbalance. Shaking and trembling, palpitations, super sensitive, moody, high strung. When you want to get off the pills, expect the stuff to happen.As for me, I am so grateful my husband is so understanding and caring.

He hugged me a lot and prodded me to pray more, more. Contemplative prayers and truly conversing with God helped me so much during that times.

Regarding weight gain, Zoloft was not the reason. It was my depression that made me gain weight. I found solace in food.

When I got off Zoloft, even WITHOUT exercise, I lost a few pounds because I began to eat normal, no more over-the-board, excessive snacking. I hope this helps, Cright!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
