Question:
ANYONE HAVE TROUBLE TAKING TRAZADONE AND PAXIL AFTER SURGERY?

HI, I HAVE BEEN A ON TRAZADONE AND PAXIL FOR SEVERAL YEARS. THEY ARE ANITDEPESSANTS AND ANTI-ANXIETY MEDS. I WAS JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE HAS TAKEN THEM BEFORE AND AFTER SURGERY, AND HOW THINGS WENT FOR THEM.    — Gale G. (posted on April 29, 2002)

I took Paxil and Trazodone before surgery and continued with them post-op. The only difference I've found is that I have to cut each of the pills into quarters before I can swallow it. I HAVE cut my Paxil dose in half, on my own, primarily because of financial reasons (better half a dose than to run out completely). Halving the dosage doesn't seem to have made any difference at all to my emotional state, but I can't clearly attribute that to my RNY.

Post Op, I started taking my trazadone as scheduled and immediately after taking it, I can tell it absorbs faster than before my WLS.
