anaesthetics and mood

Posted by Thrud on November 13, 2001, at 20:59:56

I had an endoscopy yesterday and was given some short acting (~30 minutes?) anaesthetic of some kind (I don't know which).
After I came to I felt so relaxed and peaceful I could hardly believe it, in fact I told the nurse that, "This anaesthetic ROCKS!!"
That was about midday. As I felt the effects wearing off, by evening it was replaced by a crushing depression, followed by a more normal mood by late evening.
Today I am feeling pretty normal, maybe a bit more depressed than usual.
Whatever they used certainly effects mood to a great extent. If anyone knows anything about this I would be very interested to hear about it, just because I am curious.
