April 2004 Surgery Date

    5 yrs Post Op depression

    I had my surgery April 2004.Currently depressed taking Meds but don't seem to be working. Sometimes I just pass my meds without absorbing them. Went to my doctor and she told me there was nothing she could do, that I would have to go back to my surgeon regarding absorbtion problem. Now I have been referred to my primary....... Can anyone Relate? or have any sugestions.
    You may need to try a different med or a higher dose.  Also, my doctor checked my Vitimin D which contributes to depression, it was very low, now I'm taking 6000 mg per day.  Get a new psychitrist if this ones not willing to up your meds or change them. 
    My acupuncturist/herbalist helps me with my depression to a great deal. She has me on liquid Vitamin D3 (which is helping!) and I am also in talk therapy, and on Zoloft.

    Day by day - just know you're not alone.
    With loving support,
