"it would be nice if the public was warned of how dangerous it is to have any surgery while taking this medication!  i was scheduled to have knee surgery, and forgot to list this as a medicine until i was telling the pre-op nurse my meds.  she then went postal on me!  informing me that if i wasn&#039;t off of it for 2 weeks before surgery, i could possibly die from high blood pressure.  what an eye opener!"
