I had breast cancer and was going through a divorce in 2007! My onco put me on trazadone for sleep and Prozac just to get through everything I was having to deal with at the same time. How do you take the capsules? My trazadone I can cut into very small pieces but the Prozac powder is sooooo disgusting when I get it stuck! How should I take it after surgery, open capsule and put in liquid?? Need advice!

I never had any issues taking a single pill post op. Your surgeon is going to have the guidelines you'll need to follow, but I took my usual pill post op with no problems.

I went to see my pharmacist and she informed me that I could open up the capsules and put them in water. The one that is a pill I can just crush it and do the same.

Thanks guys! It's the capsule that just is so gross it is the generic but I guess I can hold my nose!!! Lol

I have an extended release antianxiety and my surgeon told me just to keep taking it normally (it is not a small pill!). I have done that for 10 days so far with no problem.

I was taking ppi pillson day 2 post-op. And I took regular vitamins, and medicines with small sips of water without issue. I was just told no NSAIDS or asprin.
