Tomorrow morning I have all on four scheduled at my dentist for permanent implants. I am nervous I have not disclosed my use to dentist or anesthesiologist. I have not used today and won't be using. I'm really scared though not saying anything but I'm scared to say something too. I'm not sure what I should do. I do not smoke or use needle or snort I use it like a pill inside of a capsule. I'm really conflicted. Part of me just wants to not say anything but then what if I don't?

Was there anything said to you about not using any specific drugs.
I went to their website and they didn't mention anything about drug use; the day before or any time before the procedure. Did you get some sort of warning not to use amphetamines or any other other drug; that can constrict blood vessels before you get the procedure done. I couldn't find anything on the website about that.
The website stated that they don't put you to sleep, but use oral or IV sedation. Which seems odd because they put me under just like a surgery; when I had my wisdom teeth removed. But they really didn't mention any preparation accept to have someone there to drive you home. The website was lacking in many specifics.
Basically can you please elaborate as too why you are concerned: Or what the oral surgeon may have said to you, that makes you concerned?
Also good luck, I hope all will go well for you.

What have you been using OP? It matters a lot here.
Also... are they giving you full anesthesia or nitrous oxide (laughing gas)?
Worst case scenario, you tell them, and they just reschedule it.
Not the best HR advice. People die doing this. Certain drugs + anesthesia can be deadly or land you in a coma.
Good call Quasimoto; nice to you around, seriously.
i am sorry to reply so dam late i dont mean to do that! so sorry. I suggested keeping quiet because they would potentially not do the implants if you disclose that to them. i hope it worked out for you. The meds they use wont mess you up either when mixed, i know this becasue ive always kept it to myself at the dentist and never had any adverse issues at all.
Not stims espcially not a low dose user
So how did it go? you probabaly shouldnt have any of ur stims til the pain is gone cuz it sometimes makes pain more noticeable and also mixing meds for the teeth arent good to mix with stims like downers. did they give you tylenol 800? i noticed those are somewhat stim like themselves so if you also use stims it might make your heart go a little faster than normal which i find unpleasant but its your call

This is how it ended up going down. When I got there I was alone with the anesthesiologist and he asked me in private if there were any alcohol or past drug abuse problems and I was honest and I'm glad that I was because he used a different method of anesthesia because once you use crystal meth that changes your brain receptors forever regardless if you're clean or not they're different. He didn't judge me and I was so glad that it was just me and him when he asked that because I felt safe telling him and I truly think it made a difference on my recovery and during the anesthesia. I admitted to my past crystal meth use but like I said regardless you can be honest with them and just say I've used this in the past because regardless meth changes your receptors forever whether you're clean or dirty they're never the same. I never knew this. I'm glad that I was alone with that anesthesiologist when he asked me about past drug use I felt comfortable sharing. I wonder how my surgeon is going to treat me today when I go in there for a checkup I wonder if he knows I guess I'll find out you always know if they treat you different and that's one reason why I don't like to be honest about anything about my past and a lot of the time my present because you get treated different judged and people look down on you. Thanks for all your answers. I appreciate it. .
No I was completely knocked out with propofol which I'm grateful that I was because this is a pretty intense invasive surgery they saw into your jaw bone on top and bottom in order to make the implants permanent. It's been a little bit of a rough recovery but I am surviving it and they do say in the pamphlet I got not to use any type of street drugs 3 days up until your surgery and for several weeks after. I've had all kinds of steroids anti-inflammatories Percocet which has helped me sleep like a baby but when those were off it hurts. It did go well I'm very grateful cuz I'm so burnt out on living this type of a lifestyle I'm going to go check about suboxone to help me stay off of meth because Suboxone cured my depression and therefore when I was using Suboxone in my 40s I didn't do anything bad to my body because the depression was nonexistent and everything else was just a symptom so I'm just going to put it all out there on the table when I get better and thank you for responding.Was there anything said to you about not using any specific drugs.

I put meth at the top of the thread I can see it in the gray. I may have put it in the wrong spot but I do mention it. It was a good thing they asked me in the past tense cuz I don't know if I could have said yes.Good call Quasimoto; nice to you around, seriously.
I was given propofol I was knocked the f out. I'm glad for that I don't know how they could do this on somebody that's a under a general anesthesia or laughing gas? Hell no man they drill until your jawbone top and bottom in order to make the implants permanent. I was honest about my past drug use and I'm glad that I was because if you even use massive once in your life it changes your receptors in your brain according to the anesthesiologist so I felt comfortable admitting my past alcohol use drug use of all kinds and things went well it just hurts still

Suboxone is nasty to withdrawal from. I don’t know much about it preventing ppl from using meth. Meth works perfectly fine on it and in my opinion feels better because the rough edges are smoothed out.
I feel like this is just gonna created a severe chemical dependency for what reason? I do t really understand how this stops meth use…it certainly doesn’t stop it from working.
I’m sure pharmaceutical companies have marketed it as the cure for all drug addiction - just as IV heroin once was in the mid 1900s
