A member asked:
Do i have to go off concerta 27 prior to surgery with general anasthetic? it's cervical disc cushion and i forgot to ask. have finals

Probably: Staying off Concerta for a few postoperative days will let you rest better. Then restart after you've convalesced a few days. Unless its emergency surgery, scheduling it during finals is not a good idea. You won't be yourself for at least a week. Your sleep may be disrupted for a longer time. It's best to schedule elective surgery during vacations.

You should ask: Ask the surgeon and the anesthesiologist to obtain the best advice for your particular situation. Frankly, in my opinion, i think we here at healthtap should not generally make specific recommendations tegarding starting or stopping medication. Good luck.
