Antidepressants
Was anyone on antidepressants before surgery, and did you continue them after? I tried to get off mine when I had my last child, but I just cried hysterically , so I am scared of the thought of doing without , even if only for a few days. My husband and coworkers like me much better on them ! Melissa Massey
Hi Melissa, I agree with Tami....talk to you doctor. I was on Zoloft before surgery. I tried and tried and tried to take one the night I got back to the hotel. I desolved and squashed and drank toooooo much water to get it down. I'm not going to try again! If my nervers get too bad, I go see my doctor.......but, so far, thankfully, I've had no problems. Take care, Cathy
Melissa,
I had to stop taking them about 2 weeks before surgery and was off them for about 1 week after. Now getting off antidepressants while pregnant or after is much tougher I would think. I know I was a whole different person during my pregnancies and a few months after I think I was even worse!
I think it depends on your doctor but Dr. Aceves asks all his patients to stop them before.
