How long after surgery is it safe to start Prozac back up?

jenrae30May 21, 2015
I have read that there were increased risks of bleeding during surgery if you take Prozac. So I stopped mine 2 weeks prior to surgery just in case. I'm 3 days post op now....is it safe to start them up again? Thanks!

Thank you for your question.  I would wait at least 8-12 weeks before starting a weight loss supplement.   Ask your surgeon for his or her recommendations when to restart.

Thank you for your question.  You should see your doctor to have the right breast looked at to determine if you need to have an antibiotic for the open wound.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
