I have been on Zoloft for about 8 months. I began taking it for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and eating issues. Since I have been on it, my eating issues have gotten a lot worse. I began binging, something I've never done before. I have racing thoughts and feel like I am just floating through life. My weight has gone from about 120 to 155. I am not happy, and am considering coming off of the medication. Has anyone else noticed they have not been able to control their eating while on Zoloft? However, my anxiety did subside.

I used to take Zoloft as a teenager, along with a wide variety of other anti depressants I tried, and it didn't seem to really work. I don't think I was "depressed" back then but the doctors seemed to like to say I was just because I didn't get along with my family.
Forward 5-6 years and a death in a family occurs and I completely lose my mind. Extreme anxiety and depression during those episodes. I got a prescription for anxiety medication which made a world of a difference but I was still experiencing symptoms, and felt very dull and dead every day. My doctor said I am definitely depressed and gave me Zoloft to go back on again. So far it has only made me sick. I feel restless after I take it but not in the sense where I am energized and running a marathon. I'm basically a "dead" restless where I stare off like a zombie and lay in bed wide awake at 4am. Also I feel sick to my stomach. If I end up stopping this medication, it will be because of the nausea. I can't handle it. It makes me MORE depressed to stay up all night thinking and feeling sick to my stomach.
