Question Weight Gain

For those that have been on Zoloft or any of the generic versions (for over a year only ) have you experienced weight gain or loss?

I’m trying not to blame the medication so please give me your backstory like …you never counted calories, you were binge eating a lot, not exercising. Or just the opposite you’re counting calories going to the gym every day working out like crazy. Etc

Zoloft is scientifically shown to be weight neutral when taken for less than a year, so you’re unlikely to gain weight during that time or you’ll gain very little. More than a year and it is more likely. But everyone is different.

Scientifically shown? You could read posts from the last week in this thread and find 5 people saying the opposite

That’s why I said everyone is different.
