Although it's standard procedure to withhold psych meds just prior to and
following surgery, it's also part of the reason he's feeling more pain.

They did this with David when he had his quadruple bypass last year. He
didn't get back on his regular meds for 5 days, and during the interim
lived some horrible side effects.
