IV Sedation for wisdom teeth extraction

[Fillerup]

I got the nitrous treatment and then IV of who knows what. It knocked me right out, even though I had an H habit back then. I do remember waking up halfway through, and they quickly shot me up with some more. I vividly remember the nurse asking me what the marks on my arm were before the initial IV, I told her it was from welding splatter, and she bought it! Both times I was knocked out for surgeries, I woke up shivering my ass off and cold as hell.

when i got mine taken out he gave me a shot of liquid valium mixed with something else to put me under i never recived anything for pain during the treatment well not that i know of lol but he took care of me after it was done and wrote a script of percs for the next couple weeks could anybody tell me what the white substance he gave with the valium was?
I have been told thats what he used to put me to sleep but i dunno as far as being scared don't be it will be over b4 you know it and with the right dentist you should not hurt to bad (well mine never gave me any trouble) you should be fine with otc meds unless you have some kind of tolerance with opiates but this is just thru my personal experience

When I got my 4 wisdom teeth out and one molar I got midazolam and im guessing fentanyl, I was completely knocked out, I dont remember any of it. He pricked m, told me to count back from ten and I got to about 6 and I was gone, the worst pain tho is the next few days after and coz im tolerant to oxycontin the codeine they gave me didnt do shit so I had to spend all my money on oxy's which sucked.

Dont worry about feeling it while its happening though, theres no need to worry, you will be out to the world and will have no memory of anything whatsoever, and getting the stitches out isnt bad either, but if your lucky you might get the stitches that dissolve after like 2 weeks.

Seriously, im a wuss when it comes to pain and there was no part during the whole 2 weeks between the operation and the healing where I couldnt handle the pain. Im just really glad at the time my benzo tolerance wasnt big enough to the point where the midazolam wouldnt work, that was my biggest fear but all the surgeons knew I was a junky(it was kinda hard to hide when yer in a gown and theres track mardks all over me)

i too had an opiate tolerance at the time. the doc gave me hydro 10's and i had to CWE and take 6-9 at a time with tagamet. thank god the tagamet was there to prolong it or i'd be out in a day. luckly i had a very nieve mom and a script happy doc who hooked me up with not only one more round of hydros, but another of oxy.

i gotta get another back tooth cut out and thats what scares me is them seeing the marks down my arms do you think that will affect what they give me or would you think they would give you more cause the percs just ain't going to do the job this time

 

[phatass]

for me they used ketamine, midazolam, propofol, and tramadol.. wtf tramadol!!!

They just put a large needle under my lip and injected a local anesthetic.

If they notice that you are in pain then they might up your dose while theyre doing the procedure, but after its all done I highly doubt they will give you more painkillers than any other person, im afraid their mentality would be that you choose to abuse opiates so you can deal with the pain. They wont Not give you percs though if you know thats what theyre giving you. you are lucky to be getting that, I only got codeine with apap, over here i australia we have the equivalent of percs but its endone(actually I think its just 5-10mg of oxycodone without the apap, not sure) I got 5 friggin teeth ou and I didnt even get endones, I just went home and shot oxy for 2 weeks until I was healed. Not the best idea I guess but im not just going to take codeine if its not going to do anything.

yeah midzalom probs i use it every night to go to sleep i get 3ml amp but only use half its deffo gd stuff

When I had my wisdom teeth taken out plus several other procedures done, I received Fent and I assume midazolam. I counted backwards from 100 and got to the upper 80s before waking up. I was high as a kite for an hour afterwards though.

 

[Fillerup]

Oh, I forgot to mention... I landed in rehab 2 days after 4 extractions. They took my prescription vicodin away from me and gave me motrin instead. What a bunch of dicks, so not only did I have to deal with detox, but detox with severe mouth pain. The small amount of methadone they gave me didn't do shit for the pain either. Needless to say, I got high the day I got out because I couldn't focus on recovery in there... only the pain.

 

[brutus]

^ I was in rehab with a woman who was prescribed 640mg of Oxycontin a day because she had numerous health issues with her back. She was taking all the pain medications and went to rehab. I watched this woman with a broken back withdraw from eight 80mg OC's daily and she made it through rehab successfully. She was in horrible pain, but dealt with it. And you blame relapsing on the pain from getting your wisdom teeth removed?

 

[doppelganga196]

You guys in the states are blessed. Fentanyl/midazolam I'd get a premolar extracted just for that!!!!! Here in the u.k (boooooo) they numbed my gums & sent me home with the advice to take ibuprofen, luck i had 200mg codeine set aside, & nitrous is illegal cos some, 1 mind you, person died from having it administed poor bugger but damn the swine that removed it!

When i entered the surgery (on benzos) i asked out of curiosity if they could give me somthing to 'help me relax', they looked at me like i asked if i could smoke during the procedure!

 

[brutus]

^ Nitrous is illegal in the UK? I've never heard of that before, but I believe you.

When I had my wisdom teeth taken out as well as a bone graph, I didn't receive any Fentanyl because the oral surgeon knew I was a recovering addict. He put an allergic to Fentanyl sticker on my chart. The nurse read the sticker and promptly grabbed the syringes filled with fent and looked at me in disgust. This was after the fact that my bupe dr. talked to the oral surgeon and told him that it was best to give me pain medication afterward to prevent a relapse. After the procedure, I was given a script of 20 10mg Percocets and 60 10mg hydrocodones.

I had an extraction and implant procedures done within the past year. I have also had 2 surgeries on a torn tendon in my finger. Even though I may be "seasoned" in being knocked out, it still makes me very anxious going into it. However, each procedure I realize that i should never get myself so worked up. As soon as that versed hits, I have like 5 seconds of complete and utter calmness, and then you are out and being waken up from your procedure. The surgeries were obviously more in depth. The dental preocedures are a piece of cake. I was also lucky after the 3 dental procedures not to have used any of my vicodins. The ibuprofen was enough, and I was actually eating an hour after I got home.

 

[TwisteTexan]

They put me in the chair started the i'v and i saw a syringe labled fentanlyl...They hit me with it and asked if i was getting sleepy, I had a tolerance and said i didn't feel too different, they started wiggling the needle but nothing... so they hit me again with fentanly and i nodded off, i woke up in the middle of the operation and walked out the office seroiusly fucked up, my dad who was there got me and sat me down... The surgeon said he had given me enough fent to kill some people and i had to do the extraction with just local anesthtic(sp?)..
so tell them if you have tolerance..

 

[zombiesarepeaceful]

I don't know what I got. I remember saying I was scared to be put under cause had never had any type of surgery and the dentist smiled, sorta like ha, you won't care once we give you this shit, the room started spinning and I was out. 30 min later I woke up and didn't remember anything. I didn't feel high when I woke up. I got vicodin for pain.

 

[purple_cloud]

I had my wisdom teeth pulled a few years ago...they strapped me down, put a nitrous mask on my face with their hand over my mouth, and then I felt the IV in my arm...I remember my eyes closing and trying to fight it but couldn't. I woke up feeling really confused and out of it, sat down in the waiting room and had to be given an ice pack because I was already in terrible pain. I couldn't eat anything more than plain mashed potatoes and chocolate pudding for about a week. They also gave me 5/500 Vicodin which helped immensely, I couldn't open my mouth to eat without it due to the swelling.

About a month later, I needed another oral surgery to remove a cyst they found with the panoramic xray. They asked me if I had enough nitrous last time, I said no, so they increased it, and then knocked me out with the IV again. When I woke up I didn't feel as much pain, but I couldn't chew on my right side for about 6 months, and had many stitches in my mouth and couldn't really eat for quite some time. That one was so bad they had a refill on my Vicodin.

OP, I'm assuming you've had the procedure by now...if not, make sure you take your antibiotics and painkillers as directed, and if you're anything like I am, my face swelled up and was all sorts of bruised and yellow and gross...ice pack was my best friend =P Overall, it's not so bad, and once you get it over with, you don't have to go through with it again. These are the types of procedures they make these strong drugs for.

WHENEVER anesthesia is involved, it is best to tell them of your past drug experience and any tolerance...most of the time, they aren't concerned about you abusing what they give you, since you will be in legitimate pain, and it's their job to help you get through it as comfortably as possible.

 

[zombiesarepeaceful]

^Yeah dude. I guess they yanked my teeth out pretty hard cause I had bruising even on my neck. They dislocated my jaw too.

 

[Lost and Confused]

I was also one of those lucky people who was awake enough to see and feel most things, but not enough to tell him I was in horrible pain.

When they were finished I was soaked in sweat and covered in tears.

I think they felt bad and gave me perc 7.5s to make up for it.
