If you are worried about it, ask them to give
you a hypnotic. Ask for the same one they use
for an ulcer endoscopy. For most people, you
won't remember a thing an hour later. This is
much more effective than any dose of valium. It
is also quite safe, as you aren't exactly knocked
out. I'm resistent, so I remember what happens,
but you can get through it even if you are
claustrophobic. As noted, go for the open
machine if possible.
