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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
