I've been going through some marriage issues the last 6 months and my Dr prescribed me Zoloft to help. Since then I have had a serious loss of appetite, bathroom problems and my stomach aches and is somewhat painful (more so uncomfortable). Does anybody know about taking anti depressants post op!?!? I've researched through my paperwork gen by my surgeon but haven't found anything. Please help!

I'm on Anti depressants I'm 2 months post op and haven't had any problems on them but I have been on them for a awhile. How long have u been taking them cause they can take a couple of weeks for ur body to adjust to them, if they are really not working for u and making u feel uncomfortably sick I would be going back to the dr to maybe try another brand with different ingredience there are lots on the market I'm on one called Serta and it's great haven't had any side effects at all since day 1.

I was on antidepressants several years ago and yes, changes in appetite are fairly normal. I also flip flopped and went from being an insomniac to having trouble waking up. They switched me from one drug to another and the side effects changed. I was able to eat and able to wake up but had no sex drive. Sometimes you can't win for losing! In any case, give the drug a few months to see how it's working in the long run. If it causes a long term issue talk to your doc about a different option. I had the easiest time when I was on Lexapro and it definitely helped me through a very bad patch (with regular counseling sessions, too).

I take cymbalta and I am 5 days post op and notice nothing bit when u start you will have all sorts of changes with ur stomach

I've only been on them for 4 days now, I've only been eating 400-900 calories a day. I usually eat around 1100-1200. So far I haven't had any loss of sex drive which is good *thumbs up!* but I'm afraid of becoming a drone! Thank you guys do much for your input!
