I looked at my pre-op paperwork and it has the tall man lettering for all my meds. Here are the two in question: clonazePAM and cloNIDine

Because I haven't heard back from the hospital, I decided to err on the side of caution and hold the drug until after the surgery because I have no idea what the anesthesiologist would want me to do and I want to avoid any issues. I'm pretty disappointed that I'm going to have to wait because I think this med has potential, but I since it can effect blood pressure I think discontinuing it for now is the right choice.

Kay,

You make good decisions.

It would be nice if you had heard from the hospital so that you did not have to make the decision yourself.

Thank you Mari :hug:

They are very bad in that department.

After they left a message for me telling me I needed to call them for a screening, nobody picked up the phone when I called, and my two messages back to them went unanswered for several days until someone in my GYN's office contacted them and told them they needed to call me.

I called them Wednesday about the new med. When I didn't hear them by Friday, I made the decision to d/c the med on my own so there would be no surprises the day of the surgery.

you made a wise decision.

It is so frustrating waiting for a call.....

I'm supposed to have a follow-up appointment with my pdoc re: the clonidine, but I haven't been taking it. First because of the surgery, and right now because I'm on Vicodin. I will have to reschedule it until next week.
