I had my surgery on Wednesday. Came home yesterday and surgeon said I could start my normal meds back. I took my 75 milligram Effexor and my body felt like it was on fire. Not sure if there are new nerves or something with our new stomach or what. Not sure if that makes sense or not. I have a call into my primary care doctor. Anyone else have trouble with anti depressants after surgery?

I went back to my low dose of Prozak. Ask your physician...

Nope, I went back to my celexa with no problem. I've since cut the dose in half...maybe make sure you're sipping protein drink or something when you take your meds. A little bit of "food" coating your stomach is better than nothing.

I take Effexor for migraines and didn't have any trouble, but I didn't miss any doses. Did you? That could be the problem since you have to stop by going high dose to low and if you start again its supposed to be low dose to high.

I took mine after surgery with no problem!

I really didn't miss a dose. I took it the day of surgery and then yesterday. ( the day that I felt like I was on fire ). I haven't taken it yet today. Waiting to hear from the doctor's office. I really don't want to go through another day like I had yesterday. . Good to know the Effexor didn't bother you. Not sure what is going on with me. I'm having a lot of nauseous today until I took the pain medication. Now I feel fine. Just having a little trouble adjusting.

I take Abilify and have had no problems.
