My husband has had amnesic drugs 2 times - both times for at least 4 weeks afterwards he has had sporadic, uncharacteristic memory lapses which have impacted his job and our family. I am positive it is a result of the anesthesia. As usual, the doctors will not admit that there is any problem. I also noticed that he has had some issues with mood afterwards (again, uncharacteristic for him.) After reading some of the other posts, it seems that others may experience this as a side effect of GA. Keep talking everyone! I want the medical profession to own up to the risks they impose on people - especially when it is sometimes as much for doctors convenience as it is for patients comfort.
