(I have checked the achives and have read about reactions and results, but nothing about the agent used....or what drugs they were taking at that time.) I am preparing for a June 6th appointment to have some dental work done, and all of us who are involved prefer that I am sedated. I have had PD for apprx 20 yr (diagnosed Sept 1982) I am worried about this because just in the year of 1999 alone Doctors in 4 hospital stays and 2 nursing home stays, I was put on and taken off over 20 drugs and no one was concerned about the abrupt approach (no tapering off) except me. The oral surgeon that was recommended says he uses Propophal. Has anyone heard of this sedative/anesthetic?/ Any help is greatly appreciated. I am 54 yr, 5'4'', 115 lb I currently take: sinemet comptan seraquel clonazepam temezapam estradiol medoox ?progesterone paxil* *it is my understanding that some sed. agents release seratonin and can cause premanent problems. true or false? My neuro doctors (2) are not interested-- said to ask oral surgeon. I did. He says safe....but not how many PD patients he has treated. Forgot to ask. thanks, Rebecca I receive digest form of postings. Please send replies to me directly as well as to list?
