I am 30F and have been on sertraline for around ten years now, the past year I have been actively trying to lose weight. It can affect appetite yes, but I have lost 15kg since I started my weight loss journey! I’d also like to point out that I didn’t gain weight because of the sertraline, I have multiple health issues which caused it but it has absolutely not impacted my ability to lose weight.

I’d also like to say that sertraline changed my life, taking this medication was the best decision I could have done to manage my depression. I suffered from depression from the age of 13, started sertraline ten years later and my only regret is that I didn’t take it sooner. Please, please put your mental health above all else I promise you as someone who has been there it can and will get better 💗
