Hello, Robin! How are you doing?

It would really best to ask your surgeon what they think you should do and how long you should stop, before surgery. As long as you follow their instructions things should be fine.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.
