Hi, I have suffered from GAD for a decade and had previous operation whilst on SSRI and an SNRI medication. Neither time did I require a benzo before it. I have been off medication for a year although occassionaly use Xanax during stressful periods. I currently have a procedure being performed under a general anesthetic and am extremely anxious. I am wondering if people have experience with being allowed to have Xanax or any other benzo for that matter on the previous night and morning of the procedure. I will 100% need it to make it to hospital. Thanks
