Nyuszisue,

I assume you want to take something prior to the sedation to calm your nerves?

You should not take any food or drugs by mouth at least 6 hours prior to the appointment. Other than daily medication and you should have spoken to the surgeon about doing that if needed.

To help reduce the anxiety you can take a homeopathic remedy called Ignatia Amara 30X or C. Hylands brand recommends 4 tablets under the tongue, 4 times in one day. You can do that day prior to the surgery and then take 4 tablets an hour prior to the surgery. This homeopathy will not interfere with anything else you are taking or the sedation medication but it is not wise to take more than the manufactures recommendations.

For pain, you can take homeopathic Arnica Montana 30X or C or even higher like 200 X or C immediately after the surgery and continue as directed on the bottle. This homeopathic can be used in place of pain meds or it can be taken an hour before or after pain meds. Again, it is not wise or necessary to take more than recommended.

Did I answer your question?
