In reply to Parnate and Sugery...Please respond, posted by Lisamac on May 13, 2001, at 5:59:07
> I have been on Parnate off and on for years. I always go back to it, as it seems to be the only AD that truely helps. Last year I had a hysterectomy and my GYN. freaked and made me stay off of it for 2 weeks prior to surgery.
> I am having a 3 level fusion Tuesday, with plates and screws. My surgeon DID not tell me to stop taking it this time. He acted like it was no big deal. I told him absolutely no demerol and he wrote that on my chart, along with check for all adverse medication. He said as long as the anesthesiologist knew i was taking it, it would be fine. Now I am getting scared. I haven't had one since the 9th of May. Does anyone know if morphine is ok? I know i will be using the "pump" in the hospital. You guys here are so knowledgeable here, and i appreciate your feedback. What will they use???
> Thank you in advance,
> Lisa
