I am having a surgery tomorrow. I currently take Adderall 20mg daily, xanax .5mg sometimes up to 1mg daily, and Ambien 5mg-10mg. My question/concern is it safe to have surgery having been on these medications? I am wondering how or if it affects the anesthesia. Or anything else I should be concerned about. Thank you
Hi, Not entirely. There are a lot of medications that are used in surgery that affect the same functions as these Chat Doctor.  Xanax will make anesthesia much stronger and could be a real problem waking up. Adderall can make blood pressure difficult to control. This is why you'd want to alert doctors to ALL medicines one is taking. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
