If you mean endoscopy + colonoscopy, you get a benzo type sedative (I think I got Midazolam). It is strange how you are supposedly conscious yet you wake up like you had a general.
As for safety, I am not familiar with all your medications, but the benzo family in general is very benign. If you've told your doc *everything* you're on and he is still confident, then I would not be worried. You may want to suggest that he run your list past an anaethetist if you are still nervous.
