> I'm booked for surgery on Sept. 12 and my pdoc told me I have to go off it two weeks prior to my operation.
Have you checked with the surgeon, or tried to get in touch with an anesthesiologist from the hospital? The anesthesiologist told me that as long as he knew about the MAOI, he had no problem my remaining on it. I went off Parnate before surgery, but for other reasons. But apparently the warnings are based on older anesthetics, and surgical patients who had not told the surgical about their MAOI.
