Anyone taking Celexa?

Is anyone else having/had a surge of depression post surgery?

Missy,

I've been having a pretty awful bout of depression since I had my surgery two months ago. I've been in the middle of a bad patch for about 1 1/2 years now, but it's gotten much worse. I have read some stuff about how surgery (any kind) can trigger depression, but I don't know if that's what caused this.

There are some things I know how to do to help me out of this, but it's hard doing them. Exercise is something I'm trying to make myself do, because I know it helps. The other thing is doing things with people, because I tend to cut myself off from social life when I'm depressed.

Hang in there.

Depression can feel like a curse sometimes. I'm having my meds tweaked after they started making me sick to my stomach after passing through the pouch. I am tight to a point where anything in a gel cap or bigger than an m & m gets struck. Finding something that works for me and wont make me puke is becoming a challenge. What totally sucks is that my meds were adjusted PERFECT; but then they all of a sudden started making me sick. Go figure. I'm now on Lexapro (same family as Celexa), small dose of Elavil (what was making sick at a higher dose) and Trazidone at night. I feel better than without anything, but am still not 100%. Sigh....
