[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 37 points 2 weeks ago (12 children) Your description makes me think it was propofol permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 12 child comments replies: [–] Sciaphobia@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 child) It kinda does, doesn't it? It was a military dentist though, and I wasn't going to be able to refuse whatever they were going to give me, so I believe they told me the truth. I did threaten to bite them if I was awake enough to remember to do so though, so maybe the IV bag got an extra squeeze! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago Propofol is usually used with something like fentanyl and midazolam permalink fedilink source parent [–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago* (5 children) That doesn't match my personal experience with propofol. The "going out" was pretty quick or the memory of it cut short, but the "coming back" was not quick at all. When I woke up in the recovery room I had awareness first, but couldn't control my body at all, not even able to open my eyes, but I could hear things in the room. Then I remember having coherent thoughts, but everything was in slow motion like my cognition was swimming in molasses. As I tried to see what I had motor control off, learned later I was verbalizing all of these thoughts and was semi audible as I tried to talk. It took probably 15 minutes before I had motor control and could speak clearly enough to be understood. It wasn't a horrible or fearful experience, but wouldn't call it pleasant either. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children) That might have been a cocktail depending on what you had done, or they didn't give you oxygen during recovery while your respiration was still depressed permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 1 point 2 weeks ago (1 child) I was given oxygen during the procedure as well as in recovery, but to your other point they could have given me something else too when I was under. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago Probably some paralyzing agent, to stop you from twitching and moving while they worked.
