Hi all,
I've got a coloscopy + gastrocopy coming up (just as a precaution) and the whole process is making me very anxious. I'm going to be sedated with propofol and I'm tempted to take some benzos both on the day before and on the morning of the procedure so I don't flip out. However, I'm not sure whether this is safe. I did some google searches and the results were inconclusive. I've got access to lorazepam (script), diazepam (blistered, black market), clonazepam (blistered, black market) and etizolam (blistered and rc, black market). I think my best pick out of these is the lorazepam as I've get a script for it, so I can at least explain how I got if the topic comes up. Etizolam would probably be the best to kill the anxiety, but it is banned in my country, so not something I can tell my doctor about. Any advice on the topic? Obviously NOT taking anything is the best option, I just want to be prepared.
