Well, you could lower the Zoloft after the winter -- or you could talk to your doctor about adding Topomax or Metformin; you could talk to your doctor about switching to Cymbalta, which does have at least an initial appetite suppressive effect; or you could talk to your doctor about switching to, say, Wellbutrin, which is generally weight neutral. You don't have to give up trying to optimize your treatment.

As for the sex thing, I had really good luck with cyproheptidine as needed. It doesn't work for everyone, but it blocks the action on the sort of receptors that cause the sexual side effects, so if you're one of those for whom it works, you should have your ability back. Though not necessarily your desire. And Wellbutrin is not known to have sexual side effects, so another option there.

Good luck.
