Sertraline (Lustral) and weight gain

[BupcakesandCunting]

My doctor has just started me on a new course of Sertraline. I have heard lots of reports about sertraline and weight gain and am slightly concerned about it. I went back to Slimming World last week after a 6 month sabbatical and was horrified to see I had put on two effing stone! I'm sure that my weight is contributing to my health as my reflux has flared up as has my dodgy hip that gave me grief during pregnancy, so really don't want to be dieting like a loon only to put on weight.

Just wondering if anyone else is on it or has been and what your experiences were?

Have taken various SSRIs in my time, including Sertraline, and none have resulted in weight gain.

I'm on sertraline and have had no weight gain or change in appetite. Feel very good in fact.

Thank you for your replies. Feel a bit more confident about it now. :)
