After the IV is inserted, I don't feel anything during the infusion. The infusion itself is only an hour. When all goes well .. it usually takes less than 2 hours to check in, get the IV placed, do labs if needed, and receive the medication from the pharmacy and then it is infused over 1 hour.

They give me 2 Tylenol tablets and 25 mg of Benadryl as a pre-medication for possible allergic reactions. Benedryl makes me sleepy so I usually take a nap until the infusion is done. I don't have any reactions from the infusion. I'm a bit tired after the infusion but that is because of the benadryl.
