Kcarr1120 15 Posted July 16, 2013 I am worried how my time release anti depressants will work once I get rny - does anyone have any experience with this? Can they just be switched for non time release, or will the dosage have to be adjusted too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They seem to be less effective, so my shrink ( who specializes in rny) is switching them up. My trazadone for sleep is totally ineffective, so they're trying me on all sorts of stuff...none effective so far. The malabsorption does mess with things, for sure. I would talk to the doctor sooner rather than later. You don't want to run into problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ren0318 81 Posted July 16, 2013 I take trazadone for sleeping, I hope I don't have that problem! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kraney 219 Posted July 17, 2013 I take Prozac and trazadone and haven't had an issue with either one. Except for decreasing my trazadone dose by more than half that is. I was taking 250mg now taking 200mh and sleeping through the night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saramichelle 127 Posted July 18, 2013 Hmm. I'm on Wellbutrin xl and Prozac and have not noticed any difference. I'd say I'm actually feeling better. I took trazadone and ocassionally temazepam for sleep before. I have not taken any temazepam since surgery and have weaned off of trazadone all together and am sleeping better than before:). All the extra weight really messed up my sleep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erinkenny 7 Posted July 18, 2013 Crap! Now I'm concerned. I take 400 mg of trazadone at night to sleep and 60 mg of Cymbalta for anxiety and depression. I have no idea how I'll cope at all without the trazadone. Surgery is next Wednesday (the 24th). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have no idea how I'll cope at all without the trazadone. Surgery is next Wednesday (the 24th). I was weaned off Wellbutrin xl as well. The lower dose of trazadone that I take still knocks me out like a light! It also keeps me asleep all night. After surgery I went back to my original dose and was basically asleep for 12+hours! I also have had trouble sleeping for over four years and been on trazadone that entire time. Now some nights I can even fall asleep without it. Just make sure you talk to your prescribing physician about your dosage after surgery. Good luck I'm sure everything will work out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
