You should read the Warning or Precaution (I forget which) in the PDR Prescribing Info for Eldepryl; and make doubly sure that the anaesthetist and OR nurses know about it, even if they resent your presumption. If your doctors feel that type of sedative will be necessary, I believe the recommendation is to go off Eldepryl at least two weeks before. Cheers, Joe
