Is Adderall okay before surgery?

September 14, 2014
Asked By:WaterMelons in Miami, FL

I'm freaking out. I completely forgot and remembered right after I took it that I'm not suppose to take any medication but Tylenol and my birth control pills. I took adderall today to focus on my school work because I have finals. I don't take it regularly only when needed. Does this affect my surgery which is this Friday?!?
