Can i refuse versed for toe surgery - using fentanyl instead?

Osmoprep hands down! Here's how you do it....clear liquid diet not the day before, but TWO DAYS BEFORE. Then, you dont swallow the giant pills - you buy a pill crusher at any pharmacy (pharmacist told me) - then you take the crushed pills with lemon-lime gatorade! Works like a charm. While everyone else is puking and barfing their guts out, dont start at 3:00 or 4:00 p.m. the day before, START AT 8:00 a.m. the day before....then by 5:00 p.m. you're ready to enjoy the evening and the secret is to keep drinking liquids. After the procedure I told my GI this and he agreed but said they cant tell this to everyone as they would then have bad tests! 21st century and doctors suck! P.S. I also called Salix, mfg of Osmoprep, and their answer to could the pills be crushed was, "it hasnt' been tested it" What B.S. Don't let these asholes (pun intended) screw you. It worked for me, although I'm not a doctor.

Here's what you do and it worked for me! Dont take the day before for liquid diet only - take two days before....and....buy a pill crusher and crush the tablet and down with lime gatorade. Works perfectly. Manufacturer wont tell you this because it hasnt been 'tested yet'. Worked for me, but I'm not a doctor, but I did tell him.
