A member asked:
I am having a colonoscopy and endoscopy tomorrow. ive been on suboxone four years. will i feel anything during procedure ?

These procedures are done with sedation so you will be asleep for the procedure. So, you will not feel anything during the procedure. You may have a mild sore throat when you wake up from the endoscopy. Good luck to you!

I understand your concern that the sedation/anesthesia might not work in the same way as someone who was not taking suboxone. Remember that there is an anesthesiologist monitoring your case in progress and who will be adjusting your treatment. Don't be afraid to bring this up when you meet the anesthesiologist before the procedure.
