I'm waiting on my date for January or early February!

I am a long term anti depressant patient. Will I still be able to take my meds after surgery? I'm worried about trying to get off of them...

My surgeon said I could take my depression and ADD drugs as I normally would. This might differ based on medication so definitely ask your surgeon.

Yes. I never stopped taking mine.

Yes, no issues taking them

Yes they said you can. I will say I haven't been able to take mine since surgery though. I get serious acid reflux and usually get sick. Anyone else have this issue?

If they are immediate release you can still take them. If they are "extended release" you need to switch to an immediate release medication.

Yup! My stomach is fine on them as long as I have some thing in my stomach. A bit of Protein or a bite of something.

Yes I was even able to get mine in liquid form until week 6.

Why is that? I switched to an ER this year because i was struggling.

God's child

Extended Release tabs won't take nearly the full effect because your stomach is much smaller.

I crushed mine the first month and added it to applesauce to get it down. It was hard that way and I threw up 2 times. After my month checkup the dr said I could swallow again. I did something foolish though and cut my dosage in half because I was feeling so good. That was dumb and now I am back on full dosage and emotionally and mentally back on track.
