NOT a medical post, important honesty with your doctor
Another post that I read prompted this one. My apologies if this info is already somewhere on the board.
I have no experience with antidepressants, or any other prescribed medications.
This is not a fact, just my thinking. If you're on an antidepressant or any other drug, that when you get sober, the levels of those drugs may need to be reassessed.
I'm only saying this because my husband had cancer (10 years cancer free thank God) and is on a lifetime med because the radiation treatments killed his thyroid. He has to have his blood levels checked once a year for possible medication level adjustments. However, the doctor made it clear that if he was doing anything that would present major changes to weight, activity, etc that he should call because fluctuations in the body can make it necessary for an immediate dosage and mg adjustment.
It would make sense that if you're on antidepressants or other prescribed meds and get sober this may be the same.
Again, I am not sure of this but it's just a thought. Never hurts to call the doctor.
