I was given propofol (IV anesthetic) twice. Once for upper/lower endoscopy (they put a camera tube down your throat, then up your butt; hopefully in that order), and once for getting my wisdom teeth pulled. I knew ahead of time what they were using and googled the effects. Was curious if it was as strong as people said. Both times, I barely managed to say "wow, that's fast..." before blacking out completely. It is amazingly fast acting, even if you are expecting it.

When I woke up from surgery I did not feel groggy, really. I could understand people talking to me, and respond by nodding yes or no. They made me take a wheelchair instead of walking out. I was thinking to myself "I'm fine, I don't need this!"

By the time I reached the car and had tried to speak to my family, I realized that I was still extremely hosed up and absolutely needed to be wheeled out to the parking lot. I didn't say anything funny or weird, I could formulate a response (in my head) to someone talking to me, but my mouth (really, my whole meat-body) was still on vacation from the anesthesia.

That poo poo is a wonder of modern medicine.
