Doug,

I have been on Zoloft for 1 yr now and yes it does help w the compulsion for the eating disorder. I suffer from Panic and Depression. My Psychiatrist put me on Zoloft to help w/ my compulsion to want to purge. I found that a a coping mechanism to deal w/ my anxiety.
I hope this helps

I also am on zoloft and really like the emotional changes it has had. But . . . my sister noticed this first and she got off the meds. It seems that since taking it - I am ALWAYS hungry - has anyone else noticed this? Or am I just ALways hungry.

I am on zoloft for the second time in 7 years. The first time around it really helped me as far as depression, and my ED.
I have only been on it about a week and a half just recently, and so far I noticed I don't have the urge to purge near as much, but that is about it. My appetite is pretty much wiped out.

I started Zoloft for depression but after waiting for 6 months for it to kick in I gave up and went to something stronger.
It did nothing for me at all with depression or eating disorders.
