Strange side effect from IVF

[vballbaby]

So..a very strange thing has happened to me four times now since the ER (anethesia?). I've woken up from a dead sleep and sat up in a panic and had no idea where the hell I was or any concept of time, a really unsettling feeling actually, just a really confused and anxious feeling like I'm on some weird drug trip. The first time it happened, which was the day after ER, it took me about a full minute to snap out of it and I was actually calling my husbands name and talking some jibberish. Same thing happened to me last night in the middle of the night, panicky feeling and not knowing where I was and very anxious. After about 10 - 15 seconds I realized what was happening and snapped out of it. This has NEVER happened to me before. I asked my acupuncturist about it today, she thinks it's just a combination of all the drugs in my system and my body having a reaction. She's probably right, but it's really freaking weird and I have been wondering if anyone else is having any really weird side effects.

DId they have you on Versed? It can cause short term memory loss and amnesia, so not surprising that you're waking up like that.

Naria, they used twilight anesthesia (fentinol) and a relaxant prior to knocking me out totally. That was last Monday! These meds are no joke. I'm not sure what Versed is but it doesn't sound familiar.

Yikes! I'd put a call in to your RE...

I know with my laps I did that for the first few days and it was "normal" but I'm not sure if they used the same stuff, it only happened twice to me though. They said to watch for persistent starting/stopping sleeping like that for sleep apnea though.

That is weird. I'd call the RE's office. Hopefully it will go away once the drugs have left your system.
