Sertraline and weight gain

Always been underweight my whole life and could eat what I wanted but I have been on sertraline 2 years and the weight has crept on and now I’m feeling overweight. I’m not eating anymore than I ever did and I’m upping exercise but I can’t shift it which is depressing as otherwise I am a calmer person. Anyone else in the same boat?

Yes I'm the same but started setraline last summer so it could be that I am indoors most days and dont really exercise. The weight gain started to be more noticeable in January this year but overall I've put on about 8-10kgs in the last year. And since Wirkibf from home. I seem to go up a size every year 😩😩

I’ve been on sertraline about a year, initially 50 mg then up to100mg. My weight has been stable until 2 or 3 months ago and I’ve put on a bit and really struggling to shift it. I did wonder about sertraline making it more difficult but hard to say for sure.
