Can You Drive Home After Endoscopy?
I Agree with Rootman, they will not let have the procedure unless a driver stays with you. And youre technically not allowed to drive the rest of the day due to the Versed and Fentanyl you are given. I have had 3 Endoscopys and honestly I feel 100% normal 1 hour after

Anxious About Buying New Clothes
Lisa I felt the exact same way. Now I can't stop buying SIZE 10 JEANS.... oh and they look cute!!! It goes away. Almost everytime I go shopping I am pleasantly suprised what fits me and how it looks..... Give it a try! I wear scrubs as well (I am a nurse) and I went from 2x to all large and medium now-- and I buy all of them from the clearance racks. They are all cute. There are no cute 2x scrub tops!

Libido Sudden Increase?
It could be some sort of cross-addiction, if you are really worried it might not be a bad idea to talk to a psychologist.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow?
Hair loss sucks. I have cried on more than one occasion in the shower. There are long blonde hairs EVERYWHERE in my house, car, work place, UGH! It will stop and it will grow back.
