I take sleeping pills or sedatives. Can I still receive sedation?

Yes, it is possible. However, taking sleeping pills or tranquilizers long term can create drug tolerance, so a standard dose of sedative may not work well. Tell us the names of your medications and how long you have taken them, and we will adjust the agents and dosage to proceed safely. Do not stop your regular medication on your own; follow the instructions given at your consultation. Because some medications affect breathing when combined with sedatives, accurate information about what you take is especially important.
