propofol: I am an Anesthetist and I happened to under go Strabismus (Squint surgery) Surgery. I was really worried about ocular block, anesthesia given around the eyes, about the prick around my orbit. I was panicking but when they infused propofol I really could not recollect my surgical agony. Just switch on and off. Excellent drug. Complete amnesia, no hangover, no cloudiness during recovery. It is really a smooth induction and maintenance drug. I love to give to my patient.

propofol: I recently had carpal tunnel release surgery and was given propofol. During surgery I felt one of the incisions. When I told them (extremely groggily) they must have given me more because I went out like a light. Awoke well, but was on and off with the pixies for 24 hours after wards.

Diprivan (propofol): 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): 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): 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.

propofol: I can't take Versed, and this is a great alternative for me for colonoscopies and endoscopies. I have pain at the injection site (I.V) but that only lasts a few seconds until I'm unconscious. I'm alert but sleepy the rest of the day, and usually take a four hour nap after the procedures. No side effects otherwise.

Diprivan (propofol): 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): 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.

propofol: I had versed and propofol for a colonoscopy and it was wonderful. I went out like a light and then almost instantly woke up afterwards. I was not even sleepy the rest of the day and could have driven home (although it would not have been advisable). There was no pain upon injection and no soreness at the injection site. Propofol was used as I throw up if I take any kind of narcotics or synthetic narcotics.

propofol: I had a procedure yesterday where I was given Propofol with Lidicane. I don't know if this is a side effect but when I went in for the test I was fine. No s/s of a cold. When I awoke I was sneezing, had a runny nose, watery eyes that burned when the light hit them. It was s/s of a sever cold. I took Bendryl last night and was better today but still had it. I have taken Sudafed and it seems to help. Side effect of the med???? I don't know.
