When I had surgery done, the doctors got me off my Antipsychotic at the time - Navane.

Ask your psychiatrist see what He or She thinks.

Well this was done years ago, maybe it’s different now.
I would try not to worry so much about it.
Everything will work out fine.

Thank you.Did you consult your anesthesiologist before general anesthetic?

They saw me the night before my operation. They were told what meds I was on so they knew I was on clozapine.
