My only encounter with drugs (pain killers) for the past 10 years was fentanyl as part of colonoscopy. That was no joke. Just one dose had noticeable effects for a few days later. I felt fucking great waking up from that colonoscopy but man, the day or two after sucked.

Wow, fentanyl for a colonoscopy?

I've had three. They'd usually offer NO2 or diazepam, but only if you have someone to take you home. Which I didn't. So I've never had drugs for a colonoscopy.

It's an unpleasant, uncomfortable experience, makes me groan out loud, but I wouldn't describe it as painful.
