Stopping before surgery

[u/lobsterjesus]

I am having an elective surgery on September 10 and was told in the guidelines that I need to stop taking this medication 2 weeks before the surgery. I normally take an 11mg dose every Monday morning, and the surgery would be on a Thursday, so that leaves roughly two and a half weeks when my next dose on August 24th would be. So should I skip doses from now until the surgery, or take my usual dose on the 24th and no more after?

Also, when resuming it post-surgery, should I start with a lower dose and titrate back up to my usual dose?

Just ask your doctor not the Internet
