Guest guest Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 I know that a lot of WLS patients have been on antidepressant medications. I took prozac for nearly 8 years before my Open RNY on 6-22-00. After the surgery, I felt fine for about a year and a half. Approximately 6 months ago, I started having anxiety and depression symptoms again, which frightened me a great deal. My doctor switched my medication to Effexor XR, which is a time release. I have been feeling pretty well. I am curious, however, about the time-release factor. I would imagine that when the time comes for the time release, the medicine has already moved out of my system due to the surgery. Is this true? What are others out there doing about this issue?
