Anyone need dosage increase post-op on meds

I take med for anxiety and don't think it works now and I'm not sure if it's because of the malabsorbtion from GB.  I .feel more anxious at times than before and not sure why

I was wondering the samething today!!  I take Prozac 10 mg for PMS and it doesn't seem to be doing the job this month.  I watch the finale of LOST yesterday and have been weepy ever since.  LOL!  =)  I should be starting anyday, but having a hard time getting out of this funk! 

Hang in there! 

10 mlg of Prozac is a very small dose, especially since you are probably malabsorbing some of it. I have been on 80 mlgs in the past. Ask for an increase, and remind whoever gives it to you, that you had a malabsoptive procedure done.

First of all, I believe most post-ops in the first few months go through some emotional swings.  Weight loss, especially rapid loss, releases hormones into the blood.  Secondly, now that we no longer have food, which I used like a drug, the feelings I tried to stuff are at the surface, and I am more vulnerable than before.

If you are not already in therapy, it might be something to consider.  Also, make sure you get your psych meds from a psychiatrist, as they can screen for other mental health issues.  Call your doc to discuss adjusting your meds.

I have panic attacks, anxiety, depression and Agoraphobia....I take Wellbutrin, celexa, ativan and Clonazepam....shortly after I had my RNY (almost a year ago) I noticed that my anxiety and panic attacks were getting worse.  In the past year I have  been a guinea pig with different dosages of my medications. My Dr does believe it is because of malabsorbtion. She has given me sublingual of some of my meds so they are absorbed immeditatly into my bloodstream and that has helped
