WOW! WHAT A BANDWAGON. I'VE BEEN ON ZOLOFT FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND HAVE GAINED ABOUT 25 POUNDS. I, LIKE MANY ON THIS THREAD HAVE BEEN WORKING OUT REGULARLY FOR YEARS AND KNOW ALL THE INS AND OUTS OF CARB, PROTEIN AND FAT INTAKE AND MONITORING. WHAT I'VE NOTICED IS AN INCREASE IN MY CRAVING FOR CARBOHYDRATES, WHICH I WOULD GUESS IS A SIDE EFFECT OF THE INCREASED SERITONIN LEVELS. ITS IRONIC THAT MY EXCERCISE ROUTINE, WHICH WAS MY WEAPON AGAINST DEPRESSION IN THE PAST, NOW PROVES TO BE INEFFECTIVE. THE DEPRESSION FROM THE WEIGHT GAIN SEEMS TO HAVE CANCELED OUT THE POSITIVE EFFECTS OF THE ZOLOFT, AND IN TURN THE ZOLOFT HAS KILLED THE OCD TENDENCIES I RELIED ON TO WORK OUT EFFECTIVLY.
