valium/zanex...anxiety
Question...has anyone ever had valium or zanex prior to surgery? I have HIGH anxiety over needles so my dr is going to give me a zanex or valium after I sign pre op papers. They are hoping this calms me down enough for the IV. I am ok wtih the surgery, the IV I am terrified for. My fear is that this is not going to work. I was hoping to be at the state of who cares (almost knocked out). =( Can anyone give suggestions, or has anyone been thru this? I feel like such a baby =(

The gave me meds to calm me down while I was in my little waiting room. Didnt knock me out. It took the edge off enough where I didnt care.
Good luck
