i was about 145 when i started zoloft. this was a low weight for me as 150 is my usual, but after 4 years i got up to 209. i did go thru a bad breakup that left me eating bad foods (ice cream and baked potatoes covered w/ velveta) but i have always worked out regularly. there was no way that a few months of bad eating could explain my super fast weight gain. I would do the elliptical for 45 mins and then go swimming around 20 laps and it would be a good day if my weight was the same! i just go so used to seeing it go up.
i'm on wellbutrin (sp?) now and i'm down to 170- the thing is now I CAN lose weight. before it just seemed impossible. the weight is coming off slowly w/ diet and exercise, but it IS coming off.
i do miss the way zoloft made me feel. if it wasn't for the weight gain i'd be back on it in a heartbeat. BUT the weight made me depressed so what was the point? i'd talk to your doctor about trying something new... have hope :-)
