Hi Rag Doll
Welcome to Psycho-Babble. I haven't heard of cycloserine, but I hope someone will be able to answer your question.
Sorry to hear that cataract surgery was traumatic for you. I know benzodiazapines are good for anxiety. I'm not sure whether or not they affect vital signs. I know they can make you sleepy, but that might depend on the dose. Is there any way your doctor can give you a benzo before the surgery?
My pdoc doesn't give me benzos, probably because they can be addictive, but I see no problem with just taking benzos one time.
For anxiety I take propranolol, which is very good at getting rid of the racing heart, sweating and trembling of anxiety. It doesn't affect the mind at all, but I find just not having the physical symptoms of anxiety calms me down a lot. It does affect your vital signs though so I'm not sure if that would be a problem for you. You would need to ask your doctor.
