anesthesia and meth abuse

I've been intravenously using methamphetamine on a daily basis for over a year now.  I am currently shooting about 1 to 1.5 grams a days. I am to have oral surgery to remove my wisdom teeth in at 9 am tomorrow and I used a little less than .5 grams at 10am today. Is 23-24 hrs enough of a time lapse between using and the surgery. I have a high metabolism, am 31 years old, a male and grew up taking ritalin(methylphenidate) until I was about 16. I've used meth on and off since that age. Please help,  I may just call my doctor and reschedule anyways.
THANKS!

Deal with the drugs first, it's way more important than a wisdom tooth! There is help and it is possible to quit - if u want to. And yeah, Ritalyn  (speed) should not have been given to you IMO. Good luck try 12 step.

My advice to you is that you stop using!  Drugs, unless prescribed by a doctor, are harmful!  I'm sorry to hear that you were put on ritalin at all.  This could very well be what has given you the craving to use/abuse other drugs.  I wish the best for you and strongly advise you to tell you doctor.  Best of luck!

I am not familiar with drugs and side effects. Your best bet would be to call and ask your pharmacist.
