Prozac!

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Well it's exactly four weeks tomorrow until my band placement. I'm wondering if

anyone has taken Prozac in conjunction with the operation. I am not overly

depressed or anything, but i remember hearing somewhere that operations can make

you feel pretty down, and when I'm down...I eat! I took prozac years ago for six

weeks when I was finding it really difficult to get over a family member's

death. It worked wonders for me and once i was out of the depths of despair, I

went off it with no withdrawals. I'm wondering if i can get my doctor to

prescribe it for me, I may become more determined for success and less likely to

" give in " .

What do you think?

Steph.

REGARDING PROZAC: I was on it for 11 years due to severe depression for my

overweight condition. I was actually not allowed to take it for 2 weeks

prior to surgery and haven't touched it since...and, I don't need

it!!!!!!!!! P.S. Prozac takes 4 weeks to be absorbed into your system to

effective.
