I'm scheduled for a minor procedure soon and my doctor mentioned using Brevital Sodium (Methohexital) for anesthesia. I've read about the fast-acting nature and quick recovery, but I'm curious about real-life experiences. Has anyone here had Brevital Sodium and if so what has been your recovery like? Did you experience any of the side effects mentioned, such as dizziness, anxiety, or hiccups? I'm concerned about the risk of allergic reactions and seizures. How common are these really? And for those who experienced tissue damage from the injection, what did that look like and how was it treated? Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!
