Merci, see if you can talk to your anesthesiologist. I recently went off Marplan for surgery, the Marplan had no benefit so I was planning to go off it anyway, but later I talked to an anesthesiologist who was surprised that I'd been told me to go off it. She said that the latest thinking was NOT to have patients go off their MAOI's, just for them (the anesthesiologists) to be careful which meds they use during surgery. Obviously, if you were in a major accident they'd HAVE to do surgery whether you were on a MAOI or not, they'd just have to be more careful, so it CAN be done. Since the Marplan was useless it wasn't an issue for me, except that I might have been able to get my surgery done earlier if they hadn't told me to go off. But for a patient who is helped by a MAOI to be told to go off can be dangerous, see if you can find an anesthesiologist with up to date thinking. Cecilia
