Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and pain are the most common causes of Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) discharge delay, with untreated PONV occurring in 20-30% of post-surgical patients. The effect of guanfacine (GF) administration on pain and nausea scores will be assessed with two groups. One group will receive 1 mg of GF to take orally and the other group will receive a similar appearing placebo (containing no drug) to take orally.
