Gained 20 pounds in less than a year.

A little bit of background. I do the Nexplanon implant. I was taking quetiapine (brand name Seroquel) and I’m still taking sertraline (brand name Zoloft). In March of last year, I weighed about 125. That’s my happy weight. A couple months later, I weighed 130-135ish. I’m sitting at 155-160ish now and feeling so defeated.

I know that I need to start eating healthier and exercising. I just want to know if anyone else experienced similar weight gain when they started taking these medications. Besides that, nothing else in my life changed drastically. Just want to know if this is common!
