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.

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 8

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.

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 9

where can you get nitrous oxide?

Accepted Answer

Nitrous Oxide: Not for sale to the general public.

Question 10

what is the damage from nitrous oxide/oxygen deprivation?

Accepted Answer

Lack of Oxygen: The damage is in the "lack of oxygen" part. The lack of n20 isn't in question here. 

If too much n20 were to become part of that mixture, reducing the o2 concentration to less than 21%, that could lead to dangerous hypoxemia (lack of o2). This will compromise o2 delivery to your brain and other vital organs, putting them at risk for metabolic failure and even cell death. To be avoided!
