Can your body need less meds after surgery?

Sun, 09/20/2015 - 18:39

I recently had a right temporal lobe resection and I'm wondering if anyone knows if your body can change the amounts of medications it needs after the surgery. I have anxiety attacks after dinner and when I take my medications and I'm wondering if my body is just thinking it doesn't need that much of the medicine anymore. The doctors will start to reduce medications soon but they haven't started yet.
