> I have been on 100mg of Zoloft for over 3 yrs now...and it helped with my anxiety alot...my only downfall was that I've gained about 30lbs and well...I can't stand the way I look!!! Besides the fact that it's unhealthy to be overweight....my doctor wanted to put me on Effexor....but I've read so many bad responses to it...and gaining weight being one of them...so I decided against it!! Both my mother and father are on Serzone...and have had nothing but good things to say about it...despite the new warning about liver damage....my mom also lost 20lbs....my dad hasn't lost or gained!! So I was just wondering if anyone can relate to my inquiry??

I tried serzone (as well as zoloft) and it didn't make me gain MUCH weight (about 5 lbs, which I could live with), but my sleep wasn't as deep on it, and it made me crave alcohol like crazy, but that's just my experience. I don't mean to make you afraid to take it. It did also give me "a feeling of well-being." I think if you're parents like it, you should definitely try it because of similar body chemistry, but I'm no expert. From your experience with zoloft, you know that if you start gaining weight, get off of it ASAP right? HTH
