      I second asking about Lexapro - the pills are very small. However, I don't know if they can be crushed. You would want to check on that.

      Lexapro comes in liquid form.

    Wellbutrin XR comes in 150mg tablets which are tiny...you should have no problem even 4 days after surgery. I didn't.

    Effexor...you should taper off before surgery if you have the time since you will not be able to take it for a few days. My patients do well going from 150mg to 112.5mg for 3-4mg days then 75 mg for 3-4 days then 37.5 mg for another 3-4 days and then off.
