Can hydrocodone, other painkillers, and marijuana have dangerous effects with anesthesia?

I have taken hydrocodone and tramadol, as well as some antihistamines, on about 5 occasions within two weeks of surgery when I will be going under general anesthesia. I have also used marijuana occasionally. I did not tell the nurse about the hydrocodone and tramadol because she was asking about my drug use right in front of my mother (pretty stupid as most kids aren’t going to tell their whole story of drug use in front of their mom), although she did want specific information about my marijuana use.

Could using these drugs this far before surgery have an effect on anesthesia? I have no addiction, so withdrawal would not be an issue. They didn’t make much of an issue of alcohol with the exception of poisoning my liver right before surgery, so I am thinking maybe these drugs aren’t an issue as long as I don’t take them right before surgery. Thanks a lot.

hydrocodone withdrawal?

I’ve been consistently taking hydrocodone for the past 14 – 16 days. I’m only taking 1 -2 a day, but i’ve also laced my weed with it and smoked it. i did that 5 – 6 times. i’m not sure what the dosage is, but i know it’s somthing like 500-5 ? not sure the mg.

My heart is pumping really hard non-stop. I haven’t had a sip of caffine in 2 days, and i’ve been drinking it pretty regularly. the only problem is i can’t sleep .i’m suffering from minor nausea, headaches and i had diahrea earlier. generally, i feel like shit.

is there anything i can do to speed up the detoxing process? are these even withdrawal symptoms? if so, should i ween off or go cold turkey? i haven’t had a dose in 2 days.

i have smoked cigarettes and marijuana (non-laced)
