| 1 | Cervical biopsy | Had neck pain when got home from procedure & slept all day. I was only put to sleep for 15 minutes. I felt like I had the flu for a week and leg muscles still sore. Not a happy camper! | F | 56 | 1 days | 6/18/2017 | 4 | Angiogram | Neuropathy, Feet Heavy Stumbling Weak & knees aches No Energy Chills DROWSY Tingling Feet & Finger | I'm Thinking Side Effects, My Wonderful Surgeon Say It's Possibility Of Anesthesia | F | 71 | 0 days Don't know | 5/24/2017 | 2 | Back Surgery | Ringing in ears, severe ice pick headache for days, low blood pressure, uncontrolled crying for no reason days later. Muscle pain. Hallucinogenic dreams for a few days after. Very colorful and weird. | I was given a spinal and Propofol for a lower spinal fusion. I think I was over medicated with the propofol. I am low dose and a pretty tough cookie. I wasn't sure if all my bad side effects were from this until I started doing some research. Had a nurse anesthetist. Big mistake. The same person tried 4 times to hit the spinal and finally I yelled for a replacement . I thought the side effects might have been from the 4 stabs near the spine but now I think it was over medication with this drug. Certainly the uncontrolled crying . My son came over at my request 5 days after out of hospital and I just broke down crying. I said I am not crying form pain, not having a pity party…just crying. | F | 62 | 1 days 1X day | 5/12/2017 | 1 | Cataract removal and IOL | 20 minute procedure to remove a cataract and implant and intra-occular lens. Woke up aware of what was going on and being said and I'm sure I answered appropriately but felt pretty foggy for about 6 hours and developing muscle pain that lasted throughout the night. It was extremely uncomfortable. I felt like I had one of the worst flus with body aches. No vomitting or fever and it pretty much was gone after 20 hours. | Because the side effects of generalized severe muscle pain, I would never have this drug again.

Was gasping and coughing up foam. Seems the coughing caused partial lung collapse. | Terrifying. | F | 61 | 1X day | 2/25/2017 | 1 | endoscopy | Given as a relaxant. Wasn't asleep. Fine. Light headed. | As the drug wore off; I had extreme depression, suicidal thoughts, extreme upset, tears.

Combo of propofol, Fentanyl, and versed. I remember them putting me on the cart to wheel me back to the recovery room but I felt I was in a tunnel and people were talking but everything was distorted and I was spinning in a tunnel and I was on my way out of this world and I was telling God I did not want to die. I felt as if everything was compressing and spinning and I could not see and my mind was just going freaking nuts It's been five days and I cannot even sleep because of what happened it scared me so bad | Whatever you just read, it's not even close to the way it was I don't even know how to describe it except that I was dying even though I wasn't.

Will never have propofol again | F | 71 | 1 days 1X day | 6/29/2016 | 1 | Colonoscopy | Worked fine to put me to sleep but the side effects were horrible and long lasting! I had the stiff/rigid neck side effect which is listed as a side effect for 1% of people. I was in absolute pain and could barely turn my head. This lasted for an entire year!!! I also was extremely uncoordinated, tripping over my own feet and I am normally very coordinated. I will never let them use this again! | F | 55 | 1 times | 6/24/2016 | 5 | Colonoscopy | Sleepy and a little headachy afterwards. | I was extremely anxious about having this procedure but the propofol was good. I went right to sleep with no issues during the procedure. | F | 50 | 1 days 50 mg | 5/20/2016 | 5 | First screening colonoscopy | Slight lightheadedness upon standing to get dressed. | In recovery it felt like I woke up from a deep night's sleep; fully aware of surroundings and with clear memory right up to the point of infusion. | F | 51 | 1 days Unknown | 5/12/2016 | 5 | Colonoscopy | First time using drug it was great. Went to sleep woke up in recovery. No side effects and will use it again in 5 years my next colonoscopy | M | 60 | 1 days | 4/16/2016 | 5 | Colonoscopy | Amazing.

Fever of 102 both times, chills, severe night sweats, urine cloudy. Sleepy for most of the day. | I stated my concerns after the first surgery taking Propofol for the back. They stated that fever could not have been from this drug and talked me into using it again for my Colonoscopy. I agreed and same side effects, fever 102, severe night sweats. | M | 43 | 1X day | 4/12/2016 | 3 | Endoscopy | I woke up much easier compared to general anesthesia. However I felt very weak, dizzy and nauseated for about 12 hours. I don't dislike it, but I do dislike the side effects. Again, when compared to what I've had in the past, this is better though. | F | 36 | 1 days | 3/30/2016 |
