It took doctors and nurses approximately 7 hours to get me to come out of the effects of Anectine. When I first came to realize I was aware of my surroundings, I was completely paralyzed and was on a respirator. While I laid in recovery after I became aware of my surroundings, a nurse would yell my name and rub my shoulders extremely hard to make me feel pain so I would come out of the effects. Once I did, I gagged on the respirator and it was removed, however, I was groggy for several days and stayed in the hospital. By the way, I was in the hospital for a 15-20 minute surgery to have my throat scrapped (tonsils grew tags or were not removed completely at age 8). I was 18 years old at the time. Talk about a raw throat with a respirator being pulled out of it. I didn't eat anything for 3 weeks. My children are not allowed to have Anectine either, because there is no test that can be performed to see if they would have the same reaction as I. It is not an allergic reaction, but one that is brought on by one gene from my mother and one from my father that caused me to react as I did. I was told if I was to be under an anesthetic longer than 20 minutes and Anectine were used, I would die.
This registry is a place to share positive or negative side effects of using Anectine. If you directly experienced a side effect while using Anectine, then we encourage you to enter it here. Please note that entries here are the experiences of individual users, and in no way means that you or anyone else will experience the same side effect, since the same medication affects people in different ways. Please always contact your physician.
