Yes! I've been there. Just to give you one example, every year I have to have a colonoscopy... as I have ulcerative colitis, I have to have my colon examined to make sure I haven't got cancer. Anyhow, they sedate you as it's very painful, and the sedation doesn't work on me. Twice now I've tried to climb off the operating table in the middle of the procedure! They've had to give me an extra dose, and have been very surprised afterwards when I 'came to' so quickly, with no drowsiness. I think the reason for this is the fact I have been on codeine phosphate for very many years, which has made me resiliant to similar types of drugs. Do you take any sort of drug like that on a regular basis? Because if so you might have built up an immunity.
Anyhow, just an uneducated guess!
