Thank you both for your replies. I contacted my neurologist (movement disorder specialist) at Georgetown University Hospital and was told I didn't have to go off the Azilect. They sent me a packet to give to MDs and nurses prior to surgery mainly going over drugs I could and could not receive. Anesthesia will have to call my neuro and talk to him about the general anesthesia. My neuro said he has had several patients go under general anesthesia who were taking Azilect without complications. I know what the literature says ...go off two weeks prior...but apparently in practice it's ok to stay on. I'm hoping for no big deal as in your experience ScottSuff.
All the best to everyone,
Betsy
