Is it okay to take Clonazepam 0.5mg (which I am prescribed for as needed for anxiety) 3 days before Breast Augmentation surgery?

Asked By:lari123 in Miami, FL

My BA surgery is scheduled for 09/18. 425/475cc Silicone HP. I have been REALLY anxious because I have never had a surgery before. I also take Paxil 20mg and the anesthesiologist team said it's okay to keep taking but not the morning of the surgery. I would like to take Clonazepam in order to calm down and concentrate at work before I leave for vacation (1 week). Thank You
