A member asked:

If i'm having surgery, would i be able to get a one-time prescription of an anti-anxiety medication?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually surgeons: are understanding about pre-surgery jitters, but you don't want to be too pre-tranquilized, and then before surgery be put under with another, more major sedative. This is a question better suited to your surgeon.
