It can be quite difficult depending on what antidepressants you are taking. You really just need to watch what u eat, get plenty of rest, and exercise at least 3x's a week. This has helped me to lose and maintain my weight. I am on lithium, which is a major weight gainer! But I have kept my weight under control doing the things I mentioned above. And also, drink plenty of water. Hope I helped ya! : )

Weight is a phenomenon that has been blamed on many things, but the simple reality is, it's all a matter of diet and exercise. The Zoloft may have given you a better appetite. Many people tend to be unable to eat when depressed. While a side effect of Zoloft is slight weight gain, that may most simply be attributed to an increased appetite. Prozac tends to help people loose weight. Maybe that works well for people who tend to overeat when they're depressed. In any case, you'll need to change your diet/exercise habits if you want to loose the weight.

Weight loss is a sign of depression, so stopping taking antidepressants could theoretically cause weight loss (if depression reoccurs). Alternatively, some drugs do cause weight gain (check the leaflet in the packet to see if this is a side-effect), so stopping taking the drug would precipitate weight loss.
