EIGHT weeks?! Gosh. I guess we can go through it together?
How are you getting on?

I need to do some things before tomorrow as my husband will be away but I just want to hide and sleep. Its such an overwhelming feeling.

Feeling better within myself. Future is brighter.

Hi! I’ve been on Zoloft (sertraline) for quite a while now, and I totally understand how overwhelming it can feel starting a new medication—especially when you’re already dealing with depression. I was actually in a very similar place when I first started.

As for your question: personally, I haven’t experienced any weight gain from Zoloft. In fact, it’s been a really positive experience for me overall. The key thing I’ve learned is that the quality of the medication really matters. I always make sure to get mine from a reliable source, and I’ve consistently had good results. If it helps, I’ve been ordering it from this trusted site: mastersupplier.net/categories/Depression/Zoloft – it’s always given me a stable and effective result.

Everyone reacts a little differently, but for me, Zoloft has been such a game changer. Just be patient with yourself—give it a few weeks to really start working. You’re definitely not alone in this, and I’m really rooting for you.
