i gained 50 pounds on zoloft. i couldn't lose it until i switched to paxil. i have anxiety and depression. the paxil worked better for anxiety and alright for depression. i think it is a stronger med than zoloft in general. to lose the weight i went on a low-carbohydrate diet for a couple months. i like the carbohydrate addict's diet (a book)the best. it allows you to eat whatever you want for supper. i have lost 25 pounds and i haven't exercised at all. i would recommend exercise though, i still mean to get around to it. but exercise in general won't get that weight off by itself. you have to change your diet and rev up your metabolism. i can now cheat and eat some carbs and i am still losing weight. you just have to stick to the diet very closely the first two months or so. good luck!
