Lap banders that take anti-anxiety/anti depressant meds

[Iluvcarbs 0]

Do any banders out there take anti-anxiety/ anti depressant meds? My Dr. just changed me to Cymbalta. Does anyone out there take the capsule whole? My pharamacist said to take it in applesauce. Any feed back is appreciated. :help:

I take Prozac for depression. The capsule goes down with no difficulty.

I take wellbutrin for Anxiety/depression . I Know its a mild one.

I tried the applesauce thing and about threw up . My pills are the size of an M&M and I cut them in half and they are fine. If you can tolerate the capsules that is great. but I have yet to be able to tolerate anything crushed or sprinkled.

I take 40 mg of Prozac, which is a large capsule. I have NO problem taking it. I've been taking rather large pills since about 3 months post op.

The best thing to do is ask your doctor when you can take it.

Every doc is different. Also your doc might have a different answer for different types of pills ?

I started taking the capsules a few days after surgery with no problem
