Anyone else take Zoloft?



Recommended Posts

I take wellbutrin once a day. I stopped taking it for about a week,(pre and post op) and then realized it was soooo neccesary for my depression. I don't think my surgeon recommends it. My husband and kids do recommend it!!

It is small and easy to swallow with no problem.

Good Luck and God Bless

I was just wondering if you had to quit taking it so long before the surgery and how it would be taken post surgery. Any information will be appreciated.

I have been on Zoloft for years. I did not have to stop taking it pre or post op. Just missed one day - day of surgery. Take it if you need it.

Good luck to you!!!

Hello! I take aropax and did not have to stop taking my meds. I think it is important for your well-being to stick to your routine. You do not need to deal with side effects when having such a life changing experience. good luck!

I take Zoloft. My doctor just weaned me off Paxil and put me on Zoloft just before my surgery. I never stopped taking them and had no problems.

Did you take it the day of the surgery?

I am on prozac and I took mine the day of surgery. But, mine comes in capsules and I just opened them and dumped the contents in juice. It tasted awful and bitter but I was able to take it that way for a few weeks. Now, I just swallow the capsules again and they go down fine.

I was on Zoloft at one time. I liked the way it made me feel, but it did cause me to stop having orgasms altogether. For me, it just wasn't worth it. That part of my life was good, and not ejoying sex made me MORE depressed so I changed to Wellbutrin. My doctor agreed. He said it happens to a lot of people. Then I discovered that I was depressed because of an undiagnosed thyroid problem. Two weeks later I was off anti-depressants and taking synthroid. It was heaven. My surgeon has told me that I will more than likely get to toss my blood pressure meds and detrol after my Lap-band surgery but will have to continue with the thyroid meds. Just do what the doctor tells you.

I take Zoloft. I was told I could take it the day of my surgery with no breaks in days. They didn't feel that it would cause a problem.

I take it and did not have to stop before surgery. You continue as normal. The day after surgery, you have to crush it up or break it in half. Then continue as normal, either crushing or in half. Hope this helps.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
