If...andI mean IF....I have a colonoscopy would it be alright be me to to take 50 or 100 mg of Xanax before I got there to relax me?

That's what my husband says and I guess I'll find out when I go in with him next week. If he has pain I'll probably throw something at the doctor!!

Thanks for your quick response lindamo! I appreciate it. I'm also wondering about the drugs they use too. I want pain meds and something to relax me, but I don't want to have amnesia. My husband had one 5 years ago and didn't remember a thing. Well I'm going in with him this time to see what to expect if I decide to do it and I'll see if it's horrible and he just didn't remember.

Hi, I've been reading all the posts about colonoscopies and it hasn't made my fears go away. I have no idea why I'm so upset taking my husband for his colonoscopy next Wed, but I sure am. After all it's not me. I find it very invasive and degrading!!! I'm 61 and have never had one because of that and that fact that I can't stand being put in a position where I can't get away if someone is hurting me. Never had a mamogram either because of that. I had a very bad experience years ago with a pap that has soured me about having procedures done. How do I get past this road block
