Can I take a xanax the morning of my surgery?

marissapalittiJun 16, 2015
i am getting a breast reduction tomorrow morning and i suffer from severe general anxiety and get really severe nausea in situations like this. So i just had to take a xanax so i wouldn't have a panic attack. So what I'm asking is it safe for me to take a xanax at like 6am tomorrow if my surgery is at like 8? Would it affect me going under?
