Article about the Effectiveness of Anti-Depressants following RNY
I wish that with the large number of RNY patients who are on anti depressant treatment that a larger study would be done. Actually, a study of a wide variety of pharmaceuticals would really help patients in the short and long term. A study of 12 really won't be of much value to most practitioners who are used to huge long term studies.

Martha,
i agree that larger scale and longer term studies would be beneficial. There have been some other drug trails assessing other types of drugs. I expect that more will be done over time as we become a larger, more financially influimpact group.
