Is it safe to take Buspar and/or Ativan for anxiety the week prior to liposuction under conscious sedation?

September 18, 2014
Asked By:amberw in Knoxville, TN

I am having liposuction of the abdomen and flanks in 8 days. I have Buspar 15mg and Ativan .5mg prescribed PRN for anxiety but I rarely ever take it. I am extremely anxious the closer I get to the procedure. I don't want to take anything that could affect my anesthesia.
