Hi ,

It is just me, , again. I was just reading some of the other

posts and i wanted toemphasize what they said. If you have any

history of taking a lot of drugs (prescribed or not) or alchol, or

having a high drug tolerance for any reason, you MUST tell them. If

you don't they won't give you enough. If you have ever had any other

procedure or needed to take pain meds for anything, you will know if

you have a high tolerance to drugs.

Also, most times the drug Versed is used. HOwever, I know there are

places that do not use it routinly...even though they should. It is a

drug that relaxes you as well as causing some amnesia. If you get the

right dosage..you are really awake but have NO idea what is going on.

If you do...you don't care and don't remember. It is a great drug for

these kind of procedures. You should ask if they can use it for you.

Take care,
