A member asked:

Is it safe to get rhinoplasty done while on anxiety medication? tapered at 0.06 mg clonazepam, should be comp. off soon.

There is no problem: in having any kind of surgery done while on benzodiazepines. The surgeon and anesthesiologist need to know what you are taking so they can plan what is needed, and make sure there are no drug interactions.
