Asked By:kimmysil in Blackwood, NJ

I take medicine for my anxiety everyday. What would happen if I do not take them the morning of my surgery. I'm afraid it would interact w the anesthesia. Fluoxetine propanol and klonopin. Can the klonopin mess up the anesthesia if I don't take it and take the other two medicines
