Question medication question/post op blues

Hi Dr. Mele
I am 2 weeks PO and infrequently taking a Valium not more than 1x a day, and Vicodin 1x a day and am experiencing the post op blues. i have heard that these drugs and anesthesia can also influence your mood. How long does anesthesia last in your system? Can the valium and vicodin also contribute to my blues?

thank so much
Sarah

Dr. Mele will become famous soon enough
You need to speak to your plastic surgeon or primary medical doctor about this. I do not normally prescribe Vallium for breast augmentation and the overwhelming majority of my patients are not needing Vicodin at two weeks after surgery.
