I'm going to need some painful/invasive medical procedures done soon and asked the doctor for an IV drip of Diastat(Valium) or Versed. She said no, and told me to take oral tranquilizers instead.
I know already that Xanax wont be strong enough because I'm so freaked about gotting the medical stuff done that for the first time in my life I'm having full blown actual panic attacks just THINKING about it. I need to get it done for a serious medical condition I have, but I just can't do it! I don't normally have terrible anxiety, just an extremely low pain tolerance that most doctors don't understand.
I have the 1 mg pills of Xanax, which I usually take to sleep at night. I'm less worried about taking too much than I am of not being sedated enough. How much Xanax at once will safely be the equivalent of Versed or Diastat?
