Hi Nolagirl,

I am somewhat familiar with the three medications you listed, they are certainly not MAOI's. However, as to their specific properties, I would ask your Doctors and the Anesthetician specifically about every medication you are taking, what dose, etc. as we are not qualified to address that.

Good Luck!
