@merpreb , I had the second MRI, and I forgot to tell my doctor about my claustrophobia, so when I checked in and told the MRI tech, she gave me a tiny dose of Xanax, which had no effect on me. But I was better prepared the second time and took extras of my own meds ahead of time, so I think that I was pretty relaxed. Along with my midday morphine sulfate I took Klonopin and a muscle relaxer. I knew that would lower my alertness, so my wife did the driving.

Oh my oh my. I have suffered with MRI tests taking awfully potent medication so I could do this. Thank goodness now they have truly OPEN m.r.i's. You sit on a chair and behind you is the machine. There is a complete openness in front of you and on your sides. I have claustrophobia, PTSD and restless leg syndrome. I am in a very slow and depressed area and yet we have this machine. Check all around and hopefully you will find one. Good luck. Peacht

@jimhd- With all of your other meds that you took to relax I'm not surprised that you didn't feel thing with a tiny bit of Xanax. Did you mention the Xanax at all? Could you walk after all of that? lol? Well, you got through it and now have to wait for the results or do you have them as yet?
