"@ls650 Don't most people get general anesthesia for a colonoscopy?" No, at least not that I am aware of. My understanding is that the medical team wants you awake so that they can ask you questions and monitor your general awareness and vital signs. They offered me medical grade fentanyl as a tranquilizer. I took it and I didn't notice much effect. It was not a comfortable or pleasant experience, but a colonoscopy can catch polyps before they grow into colon cancer.
