Meant to also say -- I now have to take the non timed-release version twice a day, which is a pain, but I'd rather take it knowing for sure that it's in my system as it should be!

Malabsorption can change the way medicine is released throughout the day.

I was on timed-release Effexor before the surgery and my primary doctor changed it too, given the potential malabsorption issues mentioned by White Dove.

Was as this suggestion made by your surgeon or another doctor? You might want to confirm with your surgeon.

Hello, I did check with my Surgeon yesterday and he told me to go ahead and try it, I am over 1 year post op. Gosh, I wish every surgeon was on the same page, this reminds me of the labs surgeons send you for, not enough, too much or just right...Haha, that sounded like Goldilocks.

I will try the SR and if my depression doesn`t let up or worsens , well I will go from there I guess....I hear Prozac works good and that is not a SR or XL ..
