| Posted almost 5 years ago The following adverse events have also been reported to occur in 1% of sertraline (Zoloft) treated patients suffering from OCD or major depressive disorder, except those already listed. It is important to emphasize that although the events reported occurred during treatment with sertraline, they were not necessarily caused by it. The following events are listed by body system. Body as a whole: back pain, asthenia/weakness, malaise. Cardiovascular system: palpitations, chest pain (unspecified). Gastrointestinal: increased appetite (polyphagia), weight gain. Central and peripheral nervous system: hypertonia, hyperesthesia. Musculoskeletal: myalgia. Psychiatric: yawning, various forms of sexual dysfunction in males or females, not described. Respiratory: rhinitis. Special senses: tinnitus. NOTE: additional reported infrequent side effects (0.1—1% of patients) and rare events (<= 0.1% of patients) in which a causal relationship to sertraline has not been established are listed in the manufacturer's prescribing information. Reports of adverse events temporally associated with sertraline that have been received since market introduction, that are not previously listed and that may have no causal relationship with the drug may also be found in the manufacturer's literature. |

| Posted almost 5 years ago Many years ago I was on Zoloft & I also gained weight. I tried switching to different meds but none worked on me like Zoloft so I had to stay on it. I've been off Zoloft for 6 years now & the weight came off. Unfortunately, I also have PMDD so I've begun taking Zoloft during the luteal phase, just for the 2 weeks before my period to calm down the PMDD & it works like a charm. I haven't experienced any weight gain now but maybe that's because I only take it 2 weeks out of the month. |
