A member asked:

I need to know the dangerous of continuing to take my prescribed adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) medication up to the day before a big surgery on my spine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: the answer requires me to know your medical status and history. this is probably not dangerous. Ask your prescribing doctor who would have the above information and ask your surgeon and anesthetist.
