Same here, although I may have been overdoing the pepperoni pizza a bit... it's a main staple of my diet...
Anyway, I have a question:
Pain meds are fine, except tramadol and demerol. If you have to have anesthesia, tell the doc about MAOIs in advance and the need to avoid demerol.
So what do they use instead? I have to have surgery soon (oral surgery to remove a possibly lamictal-related tumor) and the Dr told me he was going to use demerol to knock me out. I told him I was on Parnate and he said it wasn't a problem. Obviously not true, but what should he be using instead?
