I get a colonoscopy every couple of years, and the stuff they use to knock me out has really improved over time. Before my last procedure, the anesthesiologist was super excited to tell me all about how great the new meds were, which was nice to hear since he was about to inject me with them. But he was right! They wore off more quickly and I didn't feel like a zombie all day afterwards.
My #1 recommendation is to have hard candy ready to suck on after you've drunk a cup of the prep liquid. Root beer flavor is especially good at masking the taste.
