My doctor just prescribed me 25mg zoloft for PPD. Has anyone experienced weight gain with this dose/drug? I think that would make me more depressed!

    The drug in itself won't make you gain weight.  What it does is increase your appetite.  As long as you control what you eat, how much and your exercise level you probably won't notice a difference at all.  Eat healthy and exercise and take your med...good luck!

    25 is really low, right? Maybe I'm confused, but I had to take 150 and am now down to 100. Other meds are less likely to "cause" weight gain, but I chose Zoloft for what made me comfortable while bf'ing

    That is the dose I am on.  It is a pretty low dose.  As a side note, I actually lost a bit of weight, due to the lack of stress eating :)
