Hi everyone. I would really appreciate support from anyone who is willing!
I have had IV sedation twice before, last year in fact, and it was really amazing-I had no problems at all. Well I did have a couple of very unpleasant nightmares after a couple of weeks but that could be coincidence.
I have a phobia about taking meds, I hate them and i distrust them. Probably due to my allergy to penicillin and an anaphylactic reaction to food once, it's developed into an intense dislike of even tylenol.
I have to have 2 crowns and a small filling at the end of this month under sedation and I can't believe it myself but I'm anxious again. I am scared of having an allergic reaction, even of dying while undergoing the procedure. I know that's irrational honestly I do, but it's starting to fill my head every day.
I keep wondering if I should just get at least the filling done in just with LA but I have had trouble getting numb in the past and I'm scared that I will have a panic attack if I keep having to have more and more injections, as that's what happened last year before I gave in and had IV sedation.
I dont like the fact that they use fentanyl in the IV, as well as midozolam, it just frightens me.
Can anyone give me some reassuring words of wisdom? I feel a fool for being anxious even after I've had great experiences with IV both times...
