Propofol would be for heavy sedation and would require an anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist to be present. My insurance didn't cover that. I checked, and what I got was Versed (midazolam) + fentanyl.

At least in my prior experience with benzodiazepines like Xanax or lorazepam, they didn't cause any amnesia. I've never had fentanyl or any synthetic opioid besides during this procedure, so maybe that was what caused the amnesia. Or maybe there was no amnesia, and I was just so stoned from the combination that I was asleep and didn't really experience much except when some pain woke me up... I guess that's what I'm wondering.
