Continued anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medication use during surgery?

It is important to continue antidepressants in the perioperative period.  However, you need to make your anesthesiologist aware of these medications as they can lead to increase in blood pressure during anesthesia.  Also keep in mind that surgery can lead to a depressive episode because of the stress of healing process.  If that happens you might have to consult your psychiatrist or psychologist to make appropriate changes in your medication.RegardsDr. J
