I went under general anesthesia 5 days ago in order to have my gall bladder removed. I'm a 23 year old male and in good health. The last three days, my mood has changed drastically from fine/normal to sadness, depression and anxiety. It seems like the general anesthesia is to blame. That or the Percocet I was prescibed for the post-operative pain. After researching on the internet, it seems that at least a few men and women experience these sort of emotional side effects after going under GA.

Epinephrine is a vasoconstrictor commonly added to local anesthetics. Its purpose is to increase the duration of the anesthetic by slowing down the systemic metabolism of the anesthetic. In other words, epinephrine decreases blood flow in the area of the injection, thereby keeping the anesthetic in the area longer and extending the anesthetic effect.
