Sertraline is a type of antidepressant known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (ssri) it's often used to treat depression, and also sometimes panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder (ocd) and post-traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) sertraline helps many people recover from depression, and has fewer unwanted side effects than older antidepressants. It was tested in a national study and although weight loss did occur early in the study, weight gain followed. by the end of the study, patients on the drug weighed the same as they had before. Asking in here as it gets more traffic than mh. i was taking anti-depressants for about 6 months (escitalopram). i have finally tapered off it over 6 weeks (although i am still getting brain zaps!), i think it must have played havoc with my metabolism/hormones because although i am not eating more than usual, am pretty active (walk about 2 miles each day), the weight has crept up..
