I'm so disappointed there weren't any responses to your post!! I'm logging on (for the first time in two years) for the EXACT same reason! I KNOW WE ARE NOT ALONE! But where is everyone? Why are so few of the posts in the mental health forum have any replies?
In my opinion, finding a therapist who is not only familiar with our eating issues but also recognizes & respects that they are uniquely ours. Of course there are some consistencies with any number of other mental health issues. But please don't think that I will respond with the same cookie cutter approach. And for heaven's sake don't tell me if I just "eat less and move more", it will all work out ducky.
RKLC2002 - I've been telling my friends (many of them WLS success stories) that I truly believe we are trail blazers. Surgery is awesome but it is only one piece of the puzzle. Please don't get discouraged!! It's been three months since you first posted this (only one other person has posted in the Mental Health forum since then?!) I hope you've been able to find a great therapist - either way I'd love to hear about your journey!
My son takes it and it is supposed to help with weight loss also. He has only been on it a few weeks, so not sure of its effectiveness yet.
Have you tried wellbutrin?
I have been taking Zoloft and haven't noticed a big difference. But I'm pre-op so I have my normal weight gain anyways.

I have gained back 30 of the 100 lbs I lost since I started taking Lexapro.
Hi depression and anxiety, I take effexor and clonazepam, I did not need any changes, tried to go down on my effexor as I was worried, but no need to do so. I feel well as long as I take my pills!
Hope this helps:)
I know how hard it is to find a good therapist. I am 3+ years out with my surgery. I did great the first few years, but I'm finding myself going back to my old habits by using food to cope with things. As I eat badly, I also have less and less energy. Is anyone in the Omaha area that has good experience with a therapist dealing with eating issues and depression?

I also have ADHD I take 30 mgs of Adderall 2 times a day. I'm 10 years out and this helps me.
Hello, I have severe ADHD and finding the correct medication has horrid. I had RNY in 11/2008. Thus, I can't take extended release. I've tried and they were off after 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Currently I'm on Daytrana transdermal 30mg. However, these just make me extremely tired. My doctor asked if I wanted to try pills again. I know Daytrana is usually used on kids. Dose too high? Dose too low? I've been finding little information. Any suggestions ?
