Struggling on sertraline

Hello all, I finally relented and went on sertraline (I have PMD and would get suicidal every month) it has had a really positive impact on my day to day anxiety too so I’m happy with the medication. However, I can’t stop eating and I’m putting on weight! I lost 4 stone 10 years ago and kept it off, re-losing after two pregnancies but it’s creeping on! I just don’t hate myself any more and that was a main motivation for weight loss and don’t feel emotionally satisfied by food so I keep eating even when I’m not hungry! I’m trying to but the breaks on - I gained 5lb this week! I need to sort this! Does anyone have any advice? I can only stay on diets for a day at the moment! I don’t know what’s happened to me!

Unfortunately weight gain can be a side effect.

try having a drink of water instead of eating when you feel peckish.

I’m afraid I don’t have any magical advice but from one sertraline user to another I feel your frustration!

I have gained 4st on Sertraline. On the other hand, I've never felt better.

Yep. I'm on sertraline and I'm much better a bit lardy but happy, rather than normal weight, miserable and anxious.
