Hey guys i just wanted to ask people a question about taking zoloft while on the band i was just wonering if it was safe I am a bit unsure thanks guys

I am sure it is safe, and as a bonus it is small!!!! I take 2 EffexorXR capsules and frequently PB them if I don't time it right. I was thinking about asking to change to Lexapro which is also small. I will be on meds forever but don't feel like fighting it forever.

Best wishes,

Mimi

Hi. I'm taking lexapro and Wellbuterin XL. The Lexapro is no problem because the pills are small but the Wellbuterin is a little larger. I have to ask my DR. if she can change me to a smaller dose and take two smaller pills instead of one larger one.

I take quite a few pills for depression and stuff in the morning. It gags me but I can get it down if I go slow.

I take Zoloft 100mg. I half it and take it separately. I take it for PMDD. I do take it and then drink hot cocoa. I really think it helps it go down. I LOVE my zoloft!

I take lexapro and have had no problems. I took Zoloft for 5 years and you should have no problems.

I take Wellbutrin in the smaller twice-a-day dose and it's still too big for me to swallow easily. So I just cut the pills in half. They taste terrible but I can still get the help.

you might find that you can reduce your doses or even stop taking them with doctor supervision. I stopped one of my pills and I feel better than ever:biggrin:

I only took one pill (1/2 dose) during my first 2 months post-op. Then they announced more layoffs are coming at work, and as a manager of some very worried people, I don't have a good feeling about what's ahead. The Wellbutrin really did keep me even through the last wave. Would much prefer not to take any, though. Good reminder :redface:

Mimilou - I also take EffexorXR and have no problem however I have not had my first fill yet so I dont know if that will change.

While I was in hospital and for a few days after surgery I broke up the capsule and just poured it in my mouth with Water, because its not powdery (more like tiny granules) it doesnt have much taste at all.

If you dont mind me asking, do you take 2x 75mg because they are smaller or 1x 150mg and 1x 75mg for a higher dosage?

I am just curious because I am meant to take the 150 and 75 for the higher dosage but I dont because of the cost...

[Mimilou2004 13]

I take the 150 and 75 because that is how it is dispensed. I have a great insurance plan with no co-pay so I have no choice....I'd rather have 3 of the 75mg. I opened one the other day and put it on yogurt and I swear I am STILL spitting out crunchy little balls!!!!!

I didn't have any problems until I was up to 5cc/ml fill and am so tight now it is a chore to take the meds.

Nice to chat with you about it.

I hope you can figure something out because i know how much it sucks to rely on them! And also the fear of changing meds when you know your on a 'good thing' with your current medication. good luck :thumbup:
