I had an emergency RCT part one last Friday. The military base sent me to a civilian endo who does not use IV sedation, so the base prescribed me Triazolam (Halcion) 2 x .25mg which surprisingly worked having an amnesia effect similar to IV.
The civilian endo wanted me back within 2 weeks however.... there is a shortage of Triazolam right from the manufacturer right now!!! Argh! So obviously I can't go back to get it done. The pharmacy says the estimate is at least July!!!!
None of the other oral drugs work to cause amnesia... I have had ativan before for laser eye surgery and it did not do anything to remove memory of the surgery... or even for my nerves for that matter! My base oral surgeon did ask the pharmacy about oral versed (midazolam) but they said its not available in oral form here.
So my question is, can I wait until July with only a temporary filling in the partially done root canal??
This endo was not even happy with my having oral sedation with me. He was placating me when I said I could not go through the procedure without sedation saying "you can, you just won't allow yourself" Meanwhile he had a huge needle in his hand. As it were, the only part I DO remember after taking the oral sedation WAS the needles as they were extremely painful!!! I definitely could not do that without being under sedation... I mean the needles hurt so much they actually snapped me OUT of the sedation briefly!!! And he wanted to force me to experience that fully conscious and aware! So I KNOW he won't be too happy with me saying I can't finish the procedure until triazolam comes back in stock!!
I don't know what to do!
He doesn't even offer nitrous oxide! In fact, the only thing his nurse said they ever have allowed there was ativan or valium, neither of which put you into that amnesia state.
