I'm suffering from it too. Apparently it's a real thing. Never been told about it. I'm going to try to find some kind of naturopath solution instead of antidepressants. ...I had a serious illness years ago and it almost brought me to suicide, just always remember suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. After years of being sick, it didn't feel temporary, but in the overall of a life span, it is.
I am a 57 year old female who had laporascopic gallbladder surgery 4/19/2016. I am also experiencing severe depression and I become annoyed over the simplest of things. I attributed some of my agitation and confusion to the morphine drip, but have not taken any pain killers other than ibuprofen since. Now almost a full week done with surgery meds but each day instead of my mood improving I have started to cry become lethargic, and feel absolutely like giving up! You might think when they removed the gallbladder they took my feel good endorphins along with it. It's so strange. Nothing is helping. Time to call the Dr. AGAIN!!!
Which supplements ? Please
Most likely because of the surgery..had mine out 6 weeks ago..this morning,( lovely sunny day.) I've sat and cried,no reason..I usually wake up happy..post surgery has affected my mood,
Thousands of people have gallbladder removed..I wonder why..? I'm sure it benefits the Surgeon more than the patient.No efforts are made to dissolve Stones first, no meds,nothing before you know it you're under anaesthetic..You're told nothing of how Unwell you'll probably be after its gone...Now your at risk of bowel cancer etc.........
Cannabis...!! And no it's not the answer ...does it stop the chronic diarrhoea people suffer after lap chole..??

What supplements did you get ?
I am so relieved to hear this depression is a real thing with the gallbladder removal. I have been so depressed after my surgery on August 29th 2016. At first I attributed it to all the things other people listed but now I realize it's real. Had I had this information prior to surgery, I would have tried some supplements and dietary changes to see if I could have saved the gallbladder. Knowledge is power. Now I have to struggle through this situation. Cure one problem and create another. I already take dietary supplements but I'm going to look into some others too to help with the situation.
I'm really upset about this, but I'm glad to know it's not just me.
Best of luck to all of you

I had a lot of the symptoms that people are describing BEFORE I had my gallbladder removed.
Problems like, depression, sleeplessness, joint pain, skin rashes are going away one by one after the surgery, in fact, I can't remember when I have felt better, granted it has been only two weeks since the surgery, but so far I didnt need to take any of the medications I was taking before, I feel like the removing it from my body, gave me a new lease on life, I hope I continue in this path, and stay healthy.

I'm a 31 yr old women who was relatively healthy before the surgery, always in a great mood very active boxing instructor. One morning I woke up with horrible pain, went to the Emergency was told I needed gallbladder removal surgery for infection. Everything happened so fast I feel I was forced into it. Now 6 days post op I feel severely depressed. Every day it feels worse. My body feels like it's healing but there's a war in my mind. Part of me knows I needed the surgery because the pain would've kept coming back but part of me feels like I miss my gallbladder, if that makes any sense to anyone (not the pain though) as ridiculous as that sounds I don't feel like our body parts are useless, they're there for a reason. I just feel like crying now all the time I wish I had real answers because my doctor was no help. Doctors NEED to inform their patients of ALL possible side effects and complications of surgery and help them make better informed decisions so their patients don't walk away feeling like I do, a little shell shocked and a lot of regret. Rant over thanks to anyone who reads and best of luck to everyone out there.
My gallbladder was removed about a month ago and I feel I'm having more confusion and memory loss than before. But I'm doing well otherwise, thankfully. I'm allergic to almost all medications, so I know it's hard for the doctors to know what to give me for pain or for anesthesia. But as in most of my previous surgeries, no one ever listens when I tell them what these meds do to me. This time I warned them about the effects of hydrocodone on me, but I found out two days later that the pain killer they put in my IV contained hydrocodone. It apparently drove me batty to the extent that the nurses were feeling sorry for my husband and telling me how good he was to me, and treating me like an escapee from the loony bin. I remember thinking I was in a motel, in our present house, in our previous house, and from time to time in the hospital. I lost bladder control and just generally made a fool of myself. I tend to think the meds may be responsible for a lot of problems others are having.
How are you now?
