Asked By:marie1718 in New York, NY

Hi I am currently taking .5 mg of respridone every night and my breast aug is schedule for Wednesday the 16th. I'm wondering if stopping it 2 days before would be good enough? I'm not even sure if taking respridone effects anesthesia? Is it okay to continue taking? Or would I need to wait longer for my procedure? I've been taking .5 for aprox a year
