| 1 | Oral surgery | I immediately turned beet red Felt Anxious. I am on a Fentanyl patch long term Now I realize that is why I had a horrible reaction. | F | 69 | 1 days 15 mg | 5/5/2016 | 5 | before surgery to relax | No side effects other than inteded. Was given an injection to relax before general anesthesia. I asked the doctor if it should be working already, she said yes and the next thing I remember I was waking up in recovery. No lasting effects. | It worked wonderful for me! | F | 33 | 1 times | 4/11/2016 | 1 | I injected for oral surgery | Extremely sleepy nausea dizziness unable to walk around for 4 full days | Will refuse in future | F | 55 | 1 days | 3/27/2016 | 1 | For a biopsy of my liver | I woke up twice during the procedure, screaming with pain. I kept telling them to give me more Fentanyl. Post-biopsy I had very elevated systolic blood pressure & increased heart rate. I also had difficulty breathing & could not get a deep breath. The night of the procedure I awoke with pain every time I took a breath, & felt I was not getting any full breath's. The next morning I started experiencing severe muscle cramping in my feet & calves. They were very prolonged & I had to stretch out of every one. I also felt very dizzy & lightheaded for a couple of days. The drug also caused extreme nausea & I am sure would have ended in vomiting had I not been taking Zofran. I had also experienced waking up in excruciating pain during a previous colonoscopy. I believe that because of the amnesiac effects, the nurse both times gave far lower doses the f pain medication than was necessary for the procedure. After looking up all the side effects of this drug, & having experienced nearly all of them, Zi will refuse to ever have this drug used on me again. It was a horrible experience both times, & remembering the pain from the previous procedure 10 years earlier, I should have refused the drug this time. | I will never allow Versed to be used again on myself, nor anyone I know. The ironic thing is I am a critical care nurse & had used this drug many times for conscious sedation. In the future, I will not participate in any procedures using Versed. | F | 58 | 1 days ? | 3/27/2016 | 5 | Calm down before colonoscopy | Made me super happy and I was grinning like an idiot, but I did get really grumpy when it was wearing off | If you're prone to addiction I wouldn't take it. | F | 15 | 1 days 1X day | 3/22/2016 | 1 | Sedation for surgery | Had versed 5 times for surgery . Can't remember how I heard about versed but looked it up. The last surgery I said no to versed. I can tell before the first surgery I could do numbers in my head, Remember what I said yesterday, Figure volumes and amount of product I needed in my head. I was a builder. Now can't remember crap, short term memory. Versed is the only drug that could have caused my memory problems. Its coming back slowly, It was 2 years since I have been versed. I'm telling you, SAY NO to VERSED> | SAY NO TO VERSED, and ask when they say this will just calm you down what is is and ask how does it work. See if the give you yhe rundown onwhat this drg actually does to you. | M | 61 | 1 days 1X day | 3/22/2016 | 5 | lumbar nerve block yesterday | some confusion for a day, also fentanyl together was fine in 2 days. | Have been given before with no problems. | F | 63 | 1 days 2mg | 3/19/2016 | 5 | lumbar nerve block yesterday | some confusion for a day, also fentanyl together was fine in 2 days. | Have been given before with no problems. | F | 63 | 1 days 2mg | 3/19/2016 | 5 | Surgery | None | They gave me versed right before my surgery. It made me very calm, when I had previously been nervous. I remember chatting with the nurse for a bit and then waking up after the procedure. Waking up went great - I was alert very quickly and didn't feel all that groggy. | F | 33 | 1 days | 3/19/2016 | 1 | Hip Replacement Surgery | I was given Versed before, during and after my hip replacement surgery. I remember nothing including the surgeon seeing me after surgery to discuss complications and what I could and couldn't do. The surgeon visited me the next day and told me again and yet I couldn't remember. It took 6 days before I could comprehend and remember the complications and not continue to hurt myself. | It's now been 17 weeks today since my surgery. I don't know if it's a result of the Versed, the sick feeling of being unable to remember and what may have happened or what but I am severely depressed. I have no reason to be depressed, I caused no damage by not remembering what I was not to do because of the complications. I am healed and in great shape. No more hip pain, but I am soooo depressed that I am now seeking professional help. I've never been like this before. I am not suicidal at this point but I don't want to live. | M | 63 | 1 times unknown 1X day | 3/16/2016 | 1 | colonoscopy | Memory loss | This was absolutely horrible. Had i known i would feel like i do today i would have never got it. This drug should be banned | F | 40 | 1 days | 3/8/2016 | 1 | cardiac cath | memory loss bronchitis crying jags am very sensitive to meds tried to tell them that | never again also never fentyl | F | 75 | 1X H | 3/7/2016 | 5 | back siatic nerve injections | Sleepiness, short term memory loss, only lasted a couple of hours | Worked great | F | 60 | 1 days 60 mg | 2/29/2016 | 1 | had colonosopy | Very bad. First of all I told doctor I could not take they gave to me anyway saying it was a mild sedative. I vomited for 3 days I go tremors I couldn't see straight because I was light headed and dizzy that lasted longer than 3 days. I was put in the E R . HOW COULD a 45 min procedure turn in to dDas in the EMERGENCY ROOM? Doc need to listen to patients | Filing complaint. | 65 | 1 days unk | 2/28/2016 | 5 | colonoscopy | No side effects | This drug is fabulous. I felt nothing, remembered nothing. Woke up refreshed. Wish I had it when flying! | F | 60 | 1 days | 2/17/2016 | 1 | Respiratory Failure | I'm experiencing short term memory loss, fuzzy long term, don't feel "normal" at all. That was ten years ago. Still feeling the effects. | I prided myself on my vocabulary, used to read the dictionary as a kid. Now I struggle to find words, can't even remember my primary Dr.'s name, and the name of this stupid drug when asked. | F | 49 | 10 days 1X O | 2/4/2016 | 2 | Removal of IVC filter | I turned beet red on my neck and face, and began coughing each time I took a breath. | It was a fentanyl/versed mix in iv. | F | 51 | 1 days | 2/2/2016 | 1 | hysteroscopy and D & C | Uncontrollable crying for hours at a time, anxiety, confusion, loss of memory, feeling like I was in a fog, dizziness, unable to concentrate or function normally, vision problems, lack of appetite, insomnia, irritable, lack of control. Totally not my normal self in any way. Felt like I wanted to die. | Living nightmare for 3 1/2 days post surgery. Worst days of my entire life. Will NEVER take this medication again!!! | F | 48 | 1 days 1X day | 2/1/2016 | 5 | histeroscopy D&C with spinal anesth | Lack of balance during recovery. Mild "hangover" for a few days. | I feel that I owe my satisfaction with the drug almost entirely to the very considerate and sensitive treatment I received from everyone concerned; they gave me full information about all the options in a preop visit and respected my choices. I was extremely frightened about having a surgical procedure as a result of various terrible experiences, and I chose to have a spinal because I wanted to be awake but I didn't want to feel anything. I said they could give me Versed only if I explicitly asked for it. As my lower body became numb I began to feel some anxiety that I could not move my legs. I asked for a little Versed while I listened to music on my cell phone. From there on the experience was positively pleasant. I don't think I lost consciousness and I didn't feel it as a loss of control. Recovery was fine, although my balance was a little off and I had a bit of a hangover the next morning. But the overall experience was great. Maybe another time I would take less or none if I felt less afraid. I would never choose conscious sedation alone for a painful procedure, I would just take it for the associated anxiety. | F | 65 | 1 days 1X day | 1/31/2016 | 1 | Cervical Epidural Steroid inj. | Versed did not work for me at all. I felt the Doc fishing around in my neck with the needle, heard crunching when he hit several bones,and heard the Doctor say "God dammit I can't get at the f - ing epidural space"! Finally, I felt a red hot pain when he stabbed a nerve so I cried out and flinched... that was when the Doc started shouting "Give her more Versed, give her more Versed, give her more Versed. I should point out that I'm 5'7" and weigh 110lb; I shouldn't have needed a dose large enough for a horse. I do not take any meds that would increase metabolism of benzos,nor am I tolerant of benzos (one 5mg Diazepam tab will make me loopy for 3 days). There is something weird/wrong with Versed, it's just plain unreliable. | I always list Versed as an allergy with new Docs. | F | 47 | 1 days 2mg | 12/17/2015 |
