I'm scheduled for surgery soon and the anesthesiologist mentioned they may use Ultiva (Remifentanil) for pain management. I've read about the potential side effects, but I'd love to hear from anyone who has firsthand experience with this medication. How quickly did it wear off? Did you experience any of the more serious side effects? Or did you have a relatively smooth recovery? Any insights would be really helpful! Thanks in advance.
