Zoloft How Best To Take It?

Updated

Since this antidepressant can lead to weight gain, would it work if I took it every third day as i notice its half-life is three days.
So I have 2 questions:
1) Would it work properly like this?
2) Would taking it this lessen its weight-gain/metabolism change propensity?
Its a great antidepressant.

Hello, Lorna! How are you?

You should take it as directed by your doctor. For it to be effective, it needs to remain at a constant level in your body and that really wouldn't change it's side effects, anyway.

The FDA lists its other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth.

There are some antidepressants that are weight neutral, or that even cause weight loss in some people. Have you considered trying a different medication?

Thank you for your input. Could you suggest some antidepressants that are not inclined to alter the metabolism and make you gain weight? I tried Trazodone and that was a disaster. Whatever I do take has to be compatible with the Trepaline I need for body spasms.
