Read all Zoloft side effects

weight gain started almost immediately i gained 20 kgs during both pregnancies on zoloft. Although my anxiety/panic and outbursts of uncontrollable anger, and irrational thought patterns all stabilized remarkably on zoloft I have NO interest in sex, and uncontrollable urge to drink alcohol and I cannot stop until i pass out. Also, void of emotion ...haven't cried in years despite traumatic events that have included the deaths of grandparents, a divorce in the family and a miscarriage. Each time I try to go off this stuff I end up experiencing amplified symptoms of my original problems as well as severe depression and paranoia so I get scared and go back on it.

Katie,
I can agree with you about NO interest in sex and the drinking. I usually like to have a glass of wine and read a book at the end of my hectic day, but when I was on Zoloft, I could easily drink the whole bottle and then be sick to my stomach. Since being off of it, I DO NOT drink like that at all! I usually never get passed 2, even when hanging out with friends.
