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

Patients stay on their anti-depressants.  This is something which should be disclosed to your surgeon who will confer with the anesthesiologist but these are standard psychiatric medications.  The anesthesiologist will take this into account.  As these are "level" drugs, abstaining on the morning of surgery when you must be NPO would not have an effect on their efficacy and you may resume the next day.

Yes, it is best to stay   on those medications before and after surgery.  Those medication should not interfere with elective rhinoplasty  surgery.

You should be able to take your anti-depressant meds. If you want to be absolutely sure, then check with the anesthesiologist helping out. 

Thank you for the question. There is no evidence to suggest that taking anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medication increases the risk of bleeding or other complications for plastic surgery patients. That being said you should disclose the list of your current medications to your plastic surgeon. 
An in-person exam with a board certified plastic surgeon is always the best way to fully assess your needs and address your concerns. Best of luck!
