I've been taking Zoloft for about 2 weeks now, and ever since l started taking it I've rapidly lost weight (went from 107 to 101).Is this from the drug or could it be from stress and other stuff going on in my life?
Does taking Zoloft cause weight loss
Dear WTF!
I have been taking Zoloft (Sertralin) for more than 12 years and it never caused me weight loss.
On the contrary, since then I´ve gained 8 kg.
It causes my mouth to be dry, though!
Hope to have helped!
Does taking Zoloft cause weight loss
Actually this class of medications causes weight gain (anywhere up to 30 lbs in clinical trials). Is it possible that your weight loss may be due to some other cause? For example you are not eating what you normally do, you are being more active, you have stress going on.

Weight loss is very common while taking Zoloft, normally only a few pounds, like you, 6 or 7 pounds, but it is possible, though uncommon, that you lose a lot of weight, and you would need to be treated for it, so if you feel you are losing too much weight, see your doctor
