Can I Take my Adderall After Breast Augmentation?

Question

I've seen a few people ask this question regarding taking their adderall after their BA. However, I'm aware that you're supposed to avoid getting your heart rate up for a few weeks after the surgery. When I take my adderall, my heart rate usually tends to speed up, around 100/110 beats per minute. Is this still okay, or would that too high of a heart rate?

Adderall should be fine after your breast augmentation surgery but you should check with your surgeon though.

This may not pose much of an increased risk.  It is really more of a question of increased blood pressure that may increase the risk for hematoma.  Ask your plastic surgeon.

First, you should check with your surgeon.  However, I have no problem with my patients taking the medication if needed.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

It is probably OK to return to your pre-op medication routine, but it is always best to ask your surgeon.  Good luck.

I usually recommend staying off of the amphetamines for a couple of days following surgery but then after that it is fine.  Of course, your PS is your best resource. I hope this helps you.
