When I was put to sleep they gave me something to relax me.. and Im very weird about medicines..never taken anything other then tylenol... let me tell you what.. that crap worked! I was TERRIFIED to be put to sleep..shaking uncontroably.. FREAKING out. They gave me that stuff and I could care less what was going on. I remember getting onto the OR bed.. them securing my arms and then a mask to get oxygen.. and thats it. I was out like a light. Woke up after about 3o mins in recovery. I was really scared that when I woke up id freak out becuase I felt "out of it" but the stuff they gave me to relax me helped even through waking up. It went very smooth!

I was given IV medication: Remifentanil (Ultiva) plus Propofol (Diprivan). If a mask was placed over my face it didn't happen until I was already out.

Hope this helps.
