| 2 | colonoscopy and endoscopy | I felt everything during the colonoscopy. I felt as if the doctor was impatient with me and just wanted the procedure to be done. I felt the sedative effects kick in AFTER the procedure. I had no memory loss. I remember being very irritable for a day which isn't like me. | F | 57 | 1 days | 12/14/2015 | 1 | lumbar injections & nerve burning | No reduction in pain. Muscle spasms for 12-14hrs after each dose, I continue to have fuzzy/foggy thinking, struggle to find words and just space out sometimes with no memory of the current event. These things are still happening on a daily basis. | Over the last 5 yrs I have had versed for lumbar injections 3 times, before undergoing nerve burning procedures in the lower lumbar 2 times and for the placement of a trial stimulator in the spine. Example: last procedure: I can remember everything...even the conversation the doc and nurses were having about their plans to go to Disney for the holidays. The pain was excruciating!!! I cried and screamed out during the whole procedure and had a death grip on the bed trying not to jerk...they are dinking with my spine after all, and was literally begging the doc to stop all while being told to be still! After the trial implant I can remember all of the pain, had muscle spasms for 14 hrs straight but I don't remember the drive home. I have not had any benefit from this drug. The problems it has caused are terrible. I wasn't told there were any long term effects with the drug what so ever. I was told I would be awake and I would not have any memory of the procedures. WHAT A LOAD OF BULL!! Oh I was awake for sure and I remember every ounce of pain. My primary care provider expressed concern about my ever having it again due to the problems with thinking and memory it has caused. I received the drug from the pain clinic that treats my chronic pain and fatigue. Sometimes I wonder why they would ever dispense versed like it is as benign as a tic tac when it's so very dangerous! | F | 40 | 1 days ?? unsure | 12/11/2015 | 1 | Bronchoscopy with transbronchial bi | Woke up with a horrible headache that just got worse when I got home. Couldn't open my eyes, walk or lay down. Made it worse. Called the ER they said to contact my surgeon. Nurse said it was more than likely VERSED that caused this horrible side effect. Never again. | F | 55 | 1X day | 11/24/2015 | 2 | dental lower molar extraction | it just wasn't enough. I felt a huge amount of pain and remember it precisely. | F | 64 | 1 days 2mg 1X day | 11/15/2015 | 1 | Endoscopy | Amnesia. This drug is an AMNESTIC. Not a pain killer, and not as similar to Valium or Ativan as they'd have you believe. | Versed is given to patients so that they become compliant and later forget the procedure. It is often used so that doctors can cut corners on pain meds, because patients will not remember the pain they were in. It is given sneakily, with manipulation, against patient orders and with UNINFORMED "consent". For anxiety, they could give Valium, and for the pain, they could give adequate amounts of Fentanyl. It's horrific, if you read up on it. Wiping the memories of patients after you've put them in pain is immoral and deplorable. | 1X day | 11/10/2015 | 1 | endoscopy procedure | Memory loss is indeed an intended result but one patients are seldom told about. They want you to think you were asleep or unconscious, free from pain. Not always true. Versed is given so patients don't remember pain and torture. Some do. No thanks ! | F | 1X day | 10/19/2015 | 5 | colonoscopy | None | F | 53 | 1 days unknown | 10/18/2015 | 4 | endoscopy and colonoscopy (Not at | Temporary memory loss but that's an intended result. | Quick onset and fast reversal. No problems. | F | 45 | 1 days 30mg | 10/17/2015 | 1 | endoscopy | ended up with permanent memory loss (the medical profession doesn't warn you that this drug is NOT a pain killer and DOES cause amnesia.) | this drug gave me severe PTSD. Never again will I let anyone give me this poison. It literally ruined my life. | F | 33 | 1 days 50 1X day | 9/24/2015 | 3 | colonoscophy | Came home feeling fine. Took nap, woke with leg feeling like it was crawling (restless leg symptom?), tried to get out of bed. Arms collapsed on me, tried again, no strength in arms. Body had sort of spasms, tried to sit, body would collapse. Almost like a muscle spasm, but whole body would fold up with no strength. Has these symptoms for about 1/2 hour. Then slowly regained control. Had my Personal Care Assistant there. If did not have some one with me would have been so very scared. The Dr. did tell me that since I had been taking Oxycontin for sometime I should have different drug next time. | F | 72 | 1 days 1X day | 9/18/2015 | 1 | Miscarriage | My breathing kept stopping and I threw up several times! Even hrs later I'm still having respiratory issues | Horrible drug!!!! | F | 35 | 1 days Injection | 9/10/2015 | 1 | Wisdom teeth extraction | Wild hallucinations, memory loss | Never again. This drug should be banned | F | 18 | 1 days 5 | 9/8/2015 | 5 | Because of high anxiety before hip | None | It makes you very euphoric | M | 55 | 5 times ?????????? | 8/15/2015 | 1 | D&C | Totally passed out when I had informed the Anesthesiologist that I did NOT want to be asleep. Was given this with spinal block. I have no memory of the operation, only remember waking (waking? was never supposed to be asleep!) in the recovery room with a HORRIBLE headache, dizziness, grogginess, shivering, etc. It took HOURS for this to lessen to the point where I could even lift my arms and legs! | 3 days later and I am still sleeping like I have been drugged. I can hardly stay awake, have confusion, inability to think (or remember things, sorry for my spelling mistakes!). Tinnitus is HORRIBLE. I had informed the staff that I had problems with ALL anesthesia, but I guess they just didnt really give a ----. I wanted to stay awake, and my wishes were not granted, my 'side effects' are worse than the whole reason I was having the operation in the first place! NEVER will allow this to be given to me in the future, I will die first. | F | 49 | 1X day | 8/14/2015 | 1 | I had a kidney stone removed. | I have had hiccups so bad that I choke | Never again. | M | 71 | 1 days 1X day | 8/13/2015 | 5 | Prostate Biopsy-12 needle sample | None | I got IV Versed (and Fentanyl) for a prostate biopsy. I don't know the dose, but I was awake through the entire procedure and felt nothing to speak of. | M | 66 | 1X day | 8/12/2015 | 4 | preoperative for foot surgery | None that I know of | Made me feel less anxious and uninhibited ,seemed to be a rather short lasting effect though, my doctor was late for the surgery and I could feel the fear welling up in my stomach like before they gave it to me. I remember everything though, when my surgeon did arrive he started talking about discharge instructions and I told him to be quiet and just wait to see if I make it through the procedure,lol, would never have said that without the drug. | F | 55 | 1 days | 8/12/2015 | 1 | colonoscopy | slept entire day after procedure woke up at 4am severe headache Nausea and dizziness now it's 1pm and still have headache sore body dizziness. Not Happy | NEVER AGAIN | F | 45 | 1 days 1X day | 8/11/2015 | 1 | Anesthetic used for an EGD | I sat up after receiving versed, pulled the endoscope hose out. Climbed over the bed railing, said a few choice words to the people around me, got dressed and walked out followed by security. My husband was surprised as it had been about 10 minutes since they had taken me in for the procedure. I came to at home, asked, "Why am I here?" I only barely remember the movement of pulling out the endoscope tube. The doctor tried to blame me for the reaction to this drug and I felt that it was the doctors fault that the could have given me a mild sedative (such as Valium or similar) to calm me down. Obviously I will never let them use Versed again. | I would not recommend this drug to anyone who is having surgery. I was told that the surgeons and anesthesiologist prefer this because the patient doesn't have to be put on a ventilator. | F | 56 | 1 days unknown 1X day | 8/8/2015 | 5 | Partial Knee Replacement | relaxed me immediately before surgery | time went fast! I went from extremely anxious to loose and giggly | F | 49 | 1 days 1 dose | 8/3/2015 |
