Thanks so very much for this amazing and thorough response! I have Major Depressive Disorder and have finally found a balance in my medication. I don't want to go back into the grey cloud again, especially after surgery. I appreciate your advice and will get in touch with my psychiatrist before and after surgery. I'm maxed on Cymbalta which is my SSNRI of choice, its a sustained release so might be an issue in dosing. We shall see. Thanks again!
How did your medications change post op? Did you have to increase the dosage because of malabsorption? I'm having a sleeve to bypass revision and am concerned about how my depression medication with absorb. Thanks!
