i'm sorry if i trigger anyone, but that is not my intent.
i recently started zoloft for a very dark depression and it is starting to work amazingly fast to help me climb out of it. i was also on a downward spiral where i was back to my old tricks of not eating. i have this weight in my head that i am so close to reaching, but ever since i started zoloft i've been having cravings and eating more. this is tearing me up inside because my body wants the food, the pill is making crave it, but my mind is saying "no." i feel like i can see the extra weight showing after i eat something.
how do i deal with this? any personal experiences?
thanks.

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
i have tried all of the other ad's that generally don't contribute to weight gain: wellbutrin, paxil, prozac... none of them worked. i know i need something to get me out of this darkness so that i can function again.. but the mental torture of numbers and body image still taunt my head.
the portions suggestion is a god idea.. fortunately i tend to eat a lot of fruits and veggies. but lately i have been craving *carbs.*
Perhaps you need to use Zoloft side-by-side with another drug. I take Lamictal for mine, and I find that it works.
petitemama - i have been on lamictal in the past.. it messed with my vision and made me very dizzy. i am also bp.. and i find it odd that i'm not on a mood stabilizer as well. i believe all the others except trileptal don't cause weight gain.
