General anesthetic and Parkinsons

[gingerj]

In preparation for my DBS procedure next month im going to hospital to have an MRI under general anesthetic this coming Sunday. I've read that the most common drugs used to anesthiatise are not good for people with Parkinsons given they Disrupt dopamine, and can really affect their post procedure recovery.

Has anyone found this to be the case, and if so how did it affect you?

Also has anyone had an MRI whilst under anesthetic and if so how long were you out for?

Cheers

I have no idea how this would work with the kind of procedure you will have however we printed up this article to give to the anesthesiologist when my husband had to have colonoscopy and endoscopy and it seemed to not cause problems however my husband does not take sinemet or similar medications other than compounded carbidopa with mucuna
