The doctors give you 3 types of medications, one puts you to sleep, one paralyzes you so you dont move during the operation, and the third makes you not be able to feel or remember what goes on while you are under.

nothing to be scared of, they put a mask over your face,  they might even let you hold it if you tell them you want to, you can't really smell anything, they tell you to count backwards from 100...(you probably won't even get to 90)  then you don't even know it and you're asleep. You won't feel anything, you won't know what they're doing, it's like the time doesn't even pass, you won't wake up during surgery, The weird part for me was waking up in a different place than where I went to sleep, I was like "how did they get me in here, they had to pick me up and move me.....wow"  but it was no biggie at all. And it was an hour later than I remembered. But it's ok, you feel no pain at all and you WILL wake up. It's no different than being really tired and relaxed, and just falling to sleep. I had no after effects, from the anesthesia, but was sore from the surgery itself. Don't be scared, it's really fine.

I would actually explain the situation to my doctor and get some type of medication like xanex or valium to help me relax.  She could perscribe enough for that one day.

I'd take 600-800 mg ibuprofen an hour or so prior to your visit.  Use Advil Liqui-Gel, because they will be in your system faster.  You can also swallow them with almost no water at all, if you have to be without food or drink.

Curare relaxes skeletal muscles, which (and I'm no surgeon) is probably a good thing during surgery.

When patients are asleep in surgery often paralytic drugs are given and when all the muscles are relaxed the eyes can fall back open...tape is placed over the eyes to keep them closed so moisture is not lost.

Avoid drugs if at all possible, try Yoga first and meditation.  They are both great for chilling out...;

well, I didn't find anything here:  http://search.drugs.com/imprints.php\n\n\nthen I went here: http://www.chwframe.staywellsolutionsonline.com/modules/goldstandard/drugid.asp\n\nand found it for you.  It's http://www.chwframe.staywellsolutionsonline.com/modules/goldstandard/monograph.asp?cpnum=302&name=Hydroxyzine+Pamoate+Capsules&l=&st=3&searchstr=&constraint=&searchtype=&currcount=&dcolor=&dshape=&dflavor=&dmark=\n\nHydroxyzine tablets or capsules \nWhat are hydroxyzine tablets or capsules? HYDROXYZINE (Vistaril®) is an antihistamine. This drug relieves itching and allergic skin reactions; may relieve emotional conditions that result in anxiety and tension; reduces nausea and vomiting; helps make you sleep before surgery or at bedtime, and may help with pain relief after surgery. Generic hydroxyzine tablets or capsules are available.

None in pill form, but there are things you can buy in the grocery store.\n\nCamomile tea.  Works good at releiving stress.\n\nClub soda.  Most club soda contains quinine which is a natural muscle relaxant.  You can flavor it with Koolaid, or rum. (or both.)

Have the dentist administer nitrous oxide to you for the procedure.  And if you are extremely nervous, ask the dentist about prescribing you something to take to relax you before the visit... in addition to the nitrous oxide.

Bath Salts, and rather inexpensive, you can find them at drug stores. And they help one to relax. Good for Young and old.

I would visit a chiropractor before succumbing to surgery, if I were you. Spasms are the result of a nerve action, not vascular.

It is demerol (meperidine) and promethazine - a painkiller and antinauseant used as a preanesthetic for surgery.

No, they will not put you to sleep. They should offer some sort of anti -anxiety medication like valium before the procedure though, like valium. They should also thouroughly explain exactly what will happen when your in surgery. They will put numbing drops in your eyes, so all you will feel is some pressure. It's really not that bad. It's very quick, once it's done you'll be amazed at how easy it was. There's also lots of web sites out there that go through what happens on surgery day, knowing what to expect can help you feel at ease.

Calm down! Take a deep breath.\n\nThe needle is not big, first point, and you might feel a slight prick, that is all.  You will be asleep really quickly after the injection.\n\nYou will not wake up during the surgery unless you have an extremely bad anaethetist, in which case you can sue him/her for all they are worth!  \n\nHow you feel when you wake up will depend on the surgery you are having.  There is bound to be some discomfort if cutting and stitches are involved.  However, the medical team will minimise this with the appropriate pain medication.\n\nYou will be fine, there is nothing to worry about.  Tell the staff at the hospital that you are really terrified and they may give you some medication to calm you while you wait to be taken into theatre.\n\nThe old pre-med is not used these days much, you are usually in the theatre before you are given the anaesthetic.\n\nAnd why, oh why did you not ask the doctor these things when he/she told you that you were having surgery?

Perhaps you could ask your dentist/dental surgeon (or with whomever you're consulting) if a drug called Versed (usually administered by IV) would be appropriate in your case.  It allows the patient to remain conscious, but creates a temporary amnesia, thereby eliminating any memory of the procedure.
