Iron Infusion

Has anyone had to have this done?

I have one scheduled for Monday morning, the 16th.  I was fine with it until they said that I'd have to bring someone with me to drive me home!!!!  Now I am a bit anxious. I understand that it is an I.V. treatment that may take up to 6 hours, but WHAT does it feel like?  Why do I need a driver afterwards?   I thought the point was to make me feel BETTER and not so tired all the time.......

Thanks for any input you can share!
