Phen and general anaesthesia

**jamby** · May 23rd, 2008, 07:14 PM

I'm having surgery on June 10 that will require general anasthesia (I'm quite sure I am spelling that wrong.....sorry).

I know I have to stop taking Phen 2 weeks before my surgery. Will this time off from Phen affect its effectiveness once I restart?

Thanks!

I can not answer that ?? for you but I am glad you asked...I am having surgery on July 24th! I didnt know you had to stop 2 weeks prior to having it.....so that helped me! Good luck getting your answer....

I can tell you this. I only take my phen for 2 weeks then off for 1 and that seems to help me. I really notice it more when I restart again.

You will most likely go through a restart mode you might want to say,your body will have to readjust to phen,it should really any worse than when you first started phen.
