Effexor and the lapband

Good Morning all,                                   Now that I have a date I have a concern.  I take Effexor for anxiety.  Does anyone else take it and how??? Can I open it and mix it in applesauce??                                                                    Thanks to all,                                                                         Linda

Good Am,  If your worried about pills, you'll have no problems.  The worst thing we do to ourselfs is worry about getting it down.  I USED to take effexor for depression, but NO LONGER need to, how wonderfull is that.......  But if your nervous about swallowing the pills, I beleive mine were capsules so you could open them up, I guess.  I now swallow a BIG one a day womens vitamin with NO PROBLEMS, when I'm nervous and think about it I sometimes feel it go down, but you should be fine and hopefully your weight loss will help your anxiety!!!  Weight Loss does wonders for our souls!  GOOD LUCK!

Candi,                  Thank you, I look forward to not taking alot of meds and effexor is one of them. Good Luck with your weight loss.                                                      Linda

hi, i actually take effexor and was worried not to take it the following day(withdrawls). I did take it whole and it was fine. You could mix it in pudding or applesauce, which I did once and it didn't take so good. Pills are fine!

Thank you for your response. The consensus seems to be take them as usual.                        Best Wishes to you                          Linda
