Anti depressants and pain killers
I have been on anti depressants for the past week, i have to have my wisdom teeth out soon, will i be able to take the pain medication whilst taking the anti-depresants? can i also go under the anaestethic whilst medicated?

Paul, you’re welcome to take pain killers when you’re on an antidepressant. You can just skip your pill on the day of the anaesthetic and you should be fine. Good luck.
