Anyone get sedated MRI with Potter?

Hi Everyone,

I have high anxiety and would need to be sedated (conscious sedation) for a closed MRI with Dr. Potter. I heard from their office that they rarely give IV sedation there. Has anyone had this done there? Any information on this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Jeanne

I do not know any doctors who do sedation for MRI. If this is something you need then you will need to have your doctor contact Dr. Potter and discuss why you need sedation.

Take some benzodiazepine before your MRI. They do sedation for kids but I have not heard about adults.

Thank you, NYT and Ezer. I have taken Xanax but that was for open MRI's and I was a less anxious person then.
