Zoloft/sentraline and weight gain/weightloss

I've been on 100mg Zoloft for about 4 months now. Its very necessary I stay on this medication! Its been a life saver for my depression and anxiety.
However since being on Zoloft, the weight seems to just sneakily be creeping on in quite an abundance.
So who has lost weight on Zoloft? What is your experience? I feel like I have no willpower which is very unlike me.

I put on so much weight with Zoloft: there is no way out of this one unless you change medication. I found that citalopram was much better for the weight than Zoloft. I was on a 100 of Zoloft and put on around 30 kgs 😩 I am not having the same issue after being on endep.

Did your appetite change contributing to weight gain?

Yes without realising though. I was hungry but didn’t realise I was eating as much as I was.

And endep I couldn’t get enough food and still feel hungry after but Zoloft wasn’t so obvious to me.
