User Reviews for Propofol

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.

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

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.

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): No after effects.

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.

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

Diprivan (propofol): 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!!!

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 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): 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 took this just today for a dental procedure. I woke up laughing and happy. Was not groggy. I did wake up sneezing like crazy and I am blowing my nose a lot. I hope this goes away soon.

propofol: Have been given Propofol for a EGD and a Endoscopic Ultrasound. When I had the EGD I woke up and about an hour later started with sneezing fits like I had a very bad cold and watery, burning eyes. Lasted all day and most of the night and was a little better by morning. Thought I just had got a cold. Yesterday I had the EUS and the same thing happened, so now I know it has to be from the Propofol. Still sneezing this morning and a bit congested. Other then that, propofol worked very well.

propofol: Worked great. No side effects.

propofol: I had my first colonoscopy yesterday and was given Propofol and Zofran. I believe some people can have an allergic reaction to Propofol which is what I experienced. Right after the procedure, my nose was really itchy and I sneezed several times. It continued with a runny nose and lasted several hours. I took DayQuil when I got home and it didn't stop the symptoms so 2 hours later, I took a generic Antihistamine and that stopped it. I woke up this morning without a runny nose or sneezing.

propofol: Worked great -better than previous "conscious sedation" medicines used for my last colonoscopy. Only problem I have had - about an hour after the procedure I began sneezing and my eyes are watering. THANK YOU to the others who mentioned this happened to them, I was really wondering what had caused the sudden sneezing and now that I see that 4 others out of about 26 had this- it's obviously a side effect- no biggie - still a great anesthesia for colonoscopy.

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: This medication was the best. I went to sleep immediately and had no reactions. After the procedure had no side effects at all.

propofol: They used Propofol on me, I was out for 2 hours. When I woke up it was like turning a light on. It was awesome.

propofol: Was administered propofol for a colonoscopy yesterday. When the anesthesiologist injected it into the IV, I went right out. No after effects. Great for this kind of procedure.

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.

propofol: I was given Propofol for a gastroscopy. The anesthetist gave me the first dose and the injection site burned a little and the vein felt cold, but I didn't fall asleep. So I was given another dose and I fell right asleep. I am usually nauseous and vomit after receiving anesthetic, but I didn't have those side effects with this drug. I was alert and able to walk soon after I woke up, but I did feel sleepy for about an hour after the procedure.

propofol: I'd been given propofol for a colonoscopy, and it worked great. Out like a light, felt 100% afterward. A year later, I had a D&C--again it worked well for sedation and recovery. But soon after coming out of it, I started sneezing, with eyes and nose running like a faucet. That lasted three days, but didn't happen while I was asleep. Benadryl and saline solution helped a little bit. I initially felt as if there was a sore spot in my left nostril, and I thought these hayfever-like symptoms were caused by the oxygen breathing tube. Others have indicated that it might have been the propofol. Maybe it's a combination. My doctor knew of no such side effect.
