Hi everyone,

Its been a very long time since Ive been to the board. I am happy to say that I havent purged in 3 months. I just needed to come by for some support. I have been taking Zoloft for the past 6 months and unfortunalty put on 20 lbs. That really freaks me out. At the time my doctor presribed the Zoloft she knew about my ed and assured me that it would not make me gain weight. Well it has :( in fact I have gone up 5 sizes in clothing. Im starting to qustion my ability to not purge. I have found myself eating for no reason and just sitting on my bathroom floor staring at the scale and the toilet. I am so affraid that Im going to break, but at the same time, I wish I would because maybe this weight wouldnt stay. Its so funny before I was on the meds, I purged because it was the only thing I could control in my life, and I felt guilty about eating. Now that Im on the meds, I feel control finally, but now I am totally depressed because of the weight gain. Its like, a double edged sword. Sorry for complainging, I guess I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

Thanks

Hi,


I have not had that experience but wanted to say hello. I am glad you checked in and came for support. Have you talked to your doc about the weight gain? I know that must be challenging and tempting you to go back to your old ways. IT's not worth it, but then you know that.


It's really good to hear from you. :)

Love & hugs, Kristina
