Brief Answer:
No drug interactions.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.

I can understand your concerns.

Adderall can take around 72 hours to eliminate from the system.

Recent evidence suggests that there are no major drug interactions between anesthesia and adderall.
In my opinion, there is no need to discontinue the drug.

BP monitoring is indicated when two are given together. (which anesthetists will do anyhow).

Donot worry.

Hope this helps.

Feel free to discuss further.

Take care.

Thanks.
