How about low like 5mg ? Anyone actually take this low dose and if so, did you gain any weight ?
Thanks

I put myself on that dose as ive had most ssris and gained weight. I am dysthemic - i say im not depressed - i mean im not wealding a knife over my wrists just yet - but do have a low mood most the time, irritable, moody and recently anxious.

sounds like you are depressed,sort of underlying if you get what i mean, im strugleing on my 100mg sertraline with weight, an it said on the leaflet may lose weight.i carnt see the 5mg doing you much good, probably the opposite, you may be getting small side effects an no benifit hence low mood.

I can't imagine that such a small dosage would make you gain weight. Besides, not everyone gains weight on that med.
I hope the med helps and gets you feeling better!
