Weight go away after stopping Antidepressants?

angierosed

I took Zoloft for 5 weeks and gained ALOT of belly fat. That is not even where I typically gain weight. It's a thick layer of fat all around my ribs. Everywhere else I was losing weight. I'm not sure how you can lose weight in one area and gain weight in another area all at the same time. It makes no sense. And you can't say I was probably eating too much. I was not. I wasn't eating very much and was losing weight. Obviously weight gain is common on antidepressants because it messes with your metabolism. Some people say they have a hard time losing the fat after they come off antidepressants. I am afraid it's not going to come off, or it will take an extra long time to come off. Anyone have any luck?

Your body will lose weight where it wants. Just stay at a deficit.
