I went in on Thursday for sedation surgery to have all my rear teeth extracted for prep for dentures with the font due at the time in about two months. However it seems my epilepsy drugs did a number to the sedation drugs. I have Partial Epilepsy (anxiety and trembles full awareness). I take Clonazepam(generic for Klonopin) and Keppra(Not generic for medical purpose). My prep med was Lorazepam then IV started with Valium and anothr drug to knock me for a loop. after waiting for 5 minutes the room started to spin for about 5 minutes then stopped and was fully Lucid. My dentist went ahead with numbing my mouth knowing full well by my coments that I was awake. I'm not scared of denal work as long as the novacaine works which took a bit more with back teeth and my pulse went too high for them to do top teeth now reschedule for Christmas time area. I did ths at a top dental school in my area and they used top strength they said and I believe them is there non benzo sedation drugs that won't mes with my seaizure meds? The top won't be fun without sedation. [smiley=scared.gif]
