SO Im going to get banded on dec 18 but my question is I had panic attacks before and now Im on lexapro for them I have not had one in a long time which is great. but im just a little scared that they will come back. Does anyone who has had the surgery have the same problem like me with the panic attacks

hey there- I too have a history of panic attacks (on lexapro too). Haven't had one in a very long time. No problems with surgery either. Message me if you wanna talk more.

I also suffer from panic attacks and am on Lexapro. I had a bad experience from the drugs used in surgery. I had a severe reaction to the Vicadin I took when I got home and had to call my doctor. It was the worst attack I have ever had. My doctor told me to stop the medication, take my Lexapro and some Benedryl to counter the reaction. Within a few hours I was feeling better. I still can't be sure if I reacted to the Vicadin or the medication they gave me at the hospital for nausia. The nurse had said that one side effect is anxiety and I was praying I would be fine. I would suggest you talk to your surgeon and let him know you concerns. And know if an attack sets in, you will recover from it. On the upside, I never experienced any nausia.
