Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 hi there.. i had an open rny on 2-14-02. before the surgery i was on Effexor XR. i decided to stop takint that, and the resto of my mds, (synthroid, for hypothyroidism, and (i forgot the name) for asthma. i went cold turkey on all of them, no problem. however, the before surgery, the endocrinologist at the cleveland clinic in ohio, where i had my surgery done (i'm from mich) told me i would have to switch from th Effexor XR (extended release) because RNY people do not tolerate or utilize time-released products well because of the malabsorption problems. he recommended i find a substitute. (which i didn't, but.. ) hope this helps. --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2002 Report Share Posted August 21, 2002 Thanks for the advice on the Effexor XR since I just started taking it a few months back, but happened to see this message on the day that I have an appointment with my psychiatrist. What timing!!! Will check with him about the Effexor, since I always seem to be " shaky " in the morning before taking it. ===== Beth Watts RNY Procedure November 1992 West Palm Beach, FL __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
