Emotional Changes

I was sleeved 8/14/12 and have a long history of depression and anxiety. Before surgery I was taking Wellbutrin XL 300 mg and 1-2 mg of klonopin daily to manage my symptoms. Now I am a little over a month out of surgery and I feel as if these medications have no effect. I am constantly experiencing mood swings and find my temper to be much shorter. Anyone experience this? I'm debating changing my meds, but don't know is this is normal post op behavior.

I found that it took me weeks to "shake off" the effects of the anesthesia. In addition, weight loss triggers release of hormones/estrogen stored in the fat. This can make your emotions go all over the place. If you search, you will find many threads on post surgical blues - trust me you are not alone on this one!

If it gets severe, definately seek med adjustments or other follow up help. In my case, it took a few months before I started feeling better. I will compound that timeframe by saying people didn't even notice my weight loss until I had lost about 50#. But, it does get better.
