Depression and med absorption

many of you know of all the problems I am having after 3 years postop but this is something no docs seem to know the answer to. Obviously I don't absorb vitamins and minerals well anymore but I am on many many drugs for the lupus and Sjogrens, one being an antidepressant, Serzone. It just doesn't seem to be doing the job as well as I think it should be. I used to be on prozac long ago and it worked great but the doc doesn't want me on that right now. (many reasons due to the diseases). I want to know if antidepressants are absorbed differently after surgery? Do we need higher doses due to malabsorption? No docs seem to be able to give me a definative answer to that question and they hem and haw around it. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks to all of you for your help. I am going on an 1800 mile trip this week to see specialists about everything from the surgery to the other problems.
