> I'm currently at 20 mg and would like to increase again as I'm not happy with the results so far at 20..

> I'm booked for surgery on Sept. 12 and my pdoc told me I have to go off it two weeks prior to my operation.

> My questions are:

> Should I stay at the same dose and feel kinda crappy until I have to go off it before surgery..it will be easier to go off, I would think, going from 20 mg than 30..

> Does anyone know what the chances are it will not work again for me once I have the surgery and restart it? I've had that happen with SSRI's when I've tried to go back on, but not sure about MAOI's..

> Thanks in advance..I went off of Parnate about 6 times during the 18 years I took it. Except for the first time, I always went off it cold turkey. When I tried to reduce it, I seemed to feel depressed right away. I never had any withdrawal symptoms just stopping it.
