60 pounds in 18 months

"I started taking Zoloft 2 years ago, and had my dose upped a year and a half ago. I started gaining weight pretty quickly about the time my dose was upped, I thought it was from eating more and exercising less But -- I haven't changed my lifestyle that much, and the gain just kept on. Now I'm 60 pounds more than when I started, and I have never been anywhere near this heavy in my life And it won't come off -- in fact, it seems to be going even higher, though I'm trying. I CAN'T stay on this -- it will kill me. I've become really obese for the first time in my life, and I hate it."

Not to belabor the point, but here's yet one more Zoloft weight gain story.

Zoloft causes weight gain in many people who take it. For many years, the reason why was unknown. But recent research has found the answer, and poignantly, the problems with Zoloft and weight gain can be easily overcome.

Zoloft can impede certain enzymes in your liver that allow your metabolism to function properly. When these metabolic pathways are crimped off by the zoloft, it both lowers your metabolism and increases your appetite.

While many different chemicals come in to play, the key lies with leptin. Leptin, a complex protein made up of over a hundred different amino acids, plays a key role in regulating energy intake and expenditure, and especially influences appetite and metabolism.

Manufactured in fat tissues of the body, leptin sends a signal to the hypothalamus that it's time to stop eating. But for many of those who take Zoloft, this chemical message never gets through to the brain. So while you may think you're just eating as normal, in realty you're eating more because you don't yet feel full.

In other words, it's very easy to overeat while taking Zoloft and you never even realize it.

Added to this 'unconscious overeating' is the problem of a slowed metabolism, which Zoloft also can cause.

What to do about Zoloft and weight gain

The solution is simple. You need to strengthen the pathways that Zoloft interrupts. The lowest-cost solution involves taking a high quality vitamin E supplement, along with omega 3 capsules. Start there. And drink lots of water! That's very important.

However, for maximum effectiveness, you may need to try a more potent approach. Fortunately, there are some natural supplements specifically designed to help with Zoloft weight gain (actually, they help with all antidepressant weight gain problems).

A laboratory in Clearwater, Florida specializes in researching and developing natural solutions to the problems caused by antidepressants. In fact, they have several natural supplements that can help you lose the weight caused by Zoloft.

If you feel that over-the-counter vitamin E and omega 3 capsules are insufficient, then just visit this site that will help you with Zoloft and weight gain.
