Zoloft (Setraline Generic Name) Ok?



Recommended Posts

I was banded in 2009 and initially didn't have any problems with my anti-depressant zoloft. But as I kept getting closer to the

"sweet spot", I began to have more episodes of vomitting--until eventually I had the most HORRIBLE burning in my stomach after taking my pills--and then for months nothing but milk and yogurt would stay down. I take 200 mg of zoloft, but even after having my doctor prescribe the smaller 50 mg pills (I take four), I was still having a burning sensation after taking my pills. I eventually had nearly half of my fill taken out, but still had problems with lots of foods. Nearly a year later, I think that the ulceration I must have been experiencing has finally healed. I can now eat even fruits, vegetables, and bread. I don't have much of a fill and haven't had a stuck episode in months. But I don't have much of a fill and find that I'm hungry way more than I want to be. But I'm terrified of getting a fill (I kind of think I have to have a big enough opening for the zoloft to go through or I'll be right back where I was before with all of those problems). Also, I won't quit taking my zoloft--it quite literally saved my life. I want someone to tell me that they've found a way to have their band tight enough to be in the zone and still be able to take their zoloft. Anyone?

Can you get Zoloft in liquid form? I had to do that with some of my meds that I were unable to take after being banded.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
