> I see my pdoc today, and I definitely know what I need to talk about. I have to have outpatient surgery, so we'll have to figure out a plan for how to manage the anesthesia issue. Fortunately, he called me earlier in the week to verify my appt., so I was able to give him a head's up about this. Hopefully he read up on it if he didn't already have an answer.

Hi GG.I regret that I don't know enough about MAOIs and anesthesia in order to help you out. I really should. Maybe Larry Hoover will appear with some details.
Good luck on your health endeavours. Nothing serious, I hope.
I once went for a special surgery for depressive disorders known as an opthalrectomy. It's where they go in through your rear-end and all the way up to sever the optic nerve in order to get rid of that crappy outlook on life. It didn't work, but it was painless. Laughing gas, I think.
