Diprivan (propofol) for Anesthesia: Diprivan was used to sedate me during a colonoscopy and it worked very quickly with no serious side effects.

Diprivan (propofol) for Anesthesia: I had Diprivan for a colonoscopy. I was out instantly and the procedure was completely painless. I woke up very quickly afterwards and felt great. I would recommend Diprivan for colonoscopy!

Diprivan (propofol) for Anesthesia: I was given Diprivan as an anesthetic during a recent breast lumpectomy. Apart from some post-anesthetic shivering in recovery (nurses gave me a pre-warmed blanket which worked well) I had absolutely no side effects. Woke feeling bright, alert and hungry. My anethestist agreed it is her anesthetic of choice.

Diprivan (propofol) for Anesthesia: Diprivan was successfully used to anesthetize me for a minor procedure lasting 5-10 minutes. It worked beautifully. I don't remember a thing and "waking up" was actually pleasant. No side effects - it wore off quickly and I was running errands within hours. (Probably shouldn't have, but I was able to). I would recommend this drug to my friends.

Diprivan (propofol) for Anesthesia: No problem with Diprivan sedation. I didn't remember a thing and was unaware of any time passing during my surgery.

Diprivan (propofol) for Anesthesia: I had Diprivan recently for carpal tunnel release surgery. The only bad side effect I had was a minor sore throat the next day. Also, it slowed my bowel movements for the 2 days after surgery, but I suspect that most general anesthetics do this.

Diprivan (propofol) for Anesthesia: I received propofol today for a colonoscopy and it worked wonderfully. I was very worried as past anesthetics caused severe nausea afterwards, but no side effects at all with this drug.

Diprivan (propofol) for Anesthesia: I am a fifty year old female getting a colonoscopy for the very first time and the the doctors used this drug to "put me under" and it was the greatest feeling ever. This is the way to go for all needing to get this procedure done!!!

Diprivan (propofol) for Anesthesia: My pain doctor gave me 12 shots in my cervical spinal nerve roots. He used this on me - after a couple of minutes then up to five minutes (according to him) I still was fully conscious and alert. I told him this and I told him that I didn't think the medicine was working on me. He decided to start the injections and after the first injection (6" needle) I screamed and told him I could feel the the entire pain effects from the first shot. The anesthetist said he would give me a second dose (did he? I don't really know) and then we waited for a few minutes - he gave me a second shot - and I told him I was still fully alert and the medicine wasn't working.

Diprivan (propofol) for Anesthesia: I had a minor procedure done to remove a piece of food that stuck in my throat. I also am on the fentanyl patch for the last 10 yrs for my constant pain. After about 2-3 minutes the first shot didn't have any effect on me. I was not sleepy at all. To make a long story short because of my pain management medicines they had to give me 4 shots to put me under.
