Question 1

what are the side effects of nitrous oxide?

Accepted Answer

Sleepiness, nausea: Nitrous oxide is a gas that can be used as a component of general anesthesia. It is a weak anesthetic in its own right, and is sometimes used in dental offices to supplement pain relief. Its main effect is drowsiness or sleep, and the most common side effect is nausea. Nitrous oxide is used much less in anesthesia today since we have other, more potent anesthetic gases in wide use.

Question 2

i was wondering what are the effects of using nitrous oxide (as a drug)?

Accepted Answer

Death: There have been cases where kids broke into a dental office to use nitrous oxide. Some of them died! no joke.

Question 3

does, masturbation cause oxidation of cones/rods and hence leads to retinal thinning or other adverse effects?

Accepted Answer

No: Normal men, women, boys, and girls masturbate (it's universal). It is not harmful, as the body goes through similar effects during regular sex with a partner (but too much of anything may become a problem). Masturbation does not stunt height, cause acne or hair loss, make you weak, create heart problems, lower testosterone, affect virginity, lower fertility, change your weight, or damage vision.

Question 4

i was wondering what are the effects of nitrous oxide?

Accepted Answer

Nitrous Oxide:: When some patients get too high a concentration, especially on a full stomach, they may feel nauseous and then regurgitate. See: http://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/nitrous_oxide dentists use nitrous oxide and oxygen to relax patients during dental procedures.

Question 5

what are the side effects of inhaling nitrous oxide (laughing gas)?

Accepted Answer

Giddiness: It makes you feel giddy with poor recall - too high of a dose can cause respiratory depression.   It should not be abused.

Question 6

what are the effects of nitrous oxide like? dentist suggested it for wisdom teeth removal. had it once yrs ago & only remember my legs feeling heavy.

Accepted Answer

Likely the same: Although it serves as an anesthesia, the effects vary from one to another. I suspect that you will likely have the same effects you experienced years ago.

Question 7

how does nitrous oxide make you feel?

Accepted Answer

It's supposed: To make you feel more relaxed during the procedure.  Hope this helps.

Question 8

can you die from nitrous oxide exposure?

Accepted Answer

Toxic overdose: Yes it can be toxic.The proper amount of oxygen closely monitored by your dentist or anesthesiologist will assure a safe experience. Very safe, however improper percentages of nitrous can cause a medical emergency, heart stress and death. Long term low dose exposure in a dental office from leaky masks is not healthy for dental personal.

Question 9

does nitrous oxide have any addicting agents?

Accepted Answer

No: Nitrous oxide is a gas and is completely eliminated from your system prior to you leaving the dental office.

Question 10

nitrous oxide and valium can be used in conjunction?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: I am assuming this is for a dental appointment or some similar medical reason and not for recreation. It is only safe under the supervision of a trained medico. Partying with nitrous oxide can result in brain damage or even death because no one is making sure you get enough oxygen!
