Scott, your info was very helpful. I really didn't think there'd be anything out there. I'm looking down the road at having a colonoscopy done (exam of large intestine) and the anaesthesia that's commonly employed (I think propofol?) is definitely off limits. The doctor said I could probably be OK with just a heavy benzo sedative like midazolam but if there's any conventional anaesthetic out there that would be safe with the Parnate (for this procedure), I'd sure like to know. I don't want to have to phase out and stop the Parnate for the colonoscopy and then re-start it later.
I thought I had read that ketamine is OK but wanted confirmation.
On the other hand, I've read that this drug can induce a strange trip, and I'm not so sure I want to experience an aftermath of hallucinations.
