Back again with another topic.
Today I underwent a diagnostic process which involved sedation. Nothing mental health related. I was given Ativan and I was told I was to be given sedation as well as some sort of amnesia medication. Supposedly this is standard procedure with sedation. Of course, sedation turned out to be that usual disorienting experience where you seem to just blink your eyes and you wake up in a different room. Anyways, this procedure was done in the morning and now at the end of the day, I realize that my anxiety has been low today and there were no bad side effects. I'm actually looking forward to the next day. What just happened here? Is it possible that the Ativan and sedation affects my mood?
Certainly something I will be discussing with my doctor.
