 1  Hip replacement surgery Short-term memory loss lasting 10 days post op. PTSD and severe depression for over a year. Wanted to die. Took psychotherapy and anti-depressants to finally recover. Never again! It's part of all doctor records and the hospital that I am allergic to versed. I clearly write on all consent forms "No versed" even if they agree not to use it and I wear a medical alert bracelet indicating no versed. 63

 1  Colonoscopy Woke up in the middle of a colonoscopy. Felt intense pain and terror but could not talk and felt paralyzed. The doctor told me later that they had to give me more pain medication. The memory of paralysis, pain, and invasiveness of the procedure remain to this day. I will never let a doctor use this drug again. F 61 1 days

 5  Tendon surgery I have had versed for surgery about 12 times over a number of years. Mostly I just feel happy right before I conk out. No ill effects except that I often have insomnia after surgery. It's probably a combination of all the drugs and not Versed in particular. F 54 1 times

 4  For anxiety at the dentist Nausea, but that may have been due to no the eating for 4 hours prior to having the fillings. I never believed that this drug would calm me down because I was just too anxious, but the effect was very immediate (through IV) I only remember small parts of it now, then afterwards I was forgetful but I was also aware of what I was doing and saying I'm the moment so I was pleased with it, it is a bit like being tipsy for a few hours but that's all.

 5  Prior to MANY surgical procedures I have NEVER had side effects with Versed and I've had MANY surgical procedures. The side effects that I've read seem unreal to me. Would recommend it to anyone having a procedure done. It really calms you down. F 46

 1  Colonoscopy then again for presurg. Awful, horrible, had procedures 10 years ago and am still taking anti depressants for PTSD. Was told it was a twilight drug and that I'd be in lala land. I'm not a child! I'm 56 years and feel that I should have been told the truth about this awful drug and given the choice to receive something else. The ante grade amnesia effect that it has caused me experience severe anxiety and paranoia. Now I have to see a psychiatrist for daily meds. He told me to always tell doctors that I am allergic to Versed. I start to physically shake at the thought of ever having this drug again. F 56 1 days

 5  Colonoscopy No side effects - worked perfectly. Took before colonoscopy along with propofol. I nicely drifted off in the exam room and awoke 20 minutes later. No side effects, just sleepy the rest of the day. This was my 7th time having Versed and I now request it when I know I'm having any type of procedure. F 31

 5  eye surgeries I was given Versed before each of two eye surgeries - three weeks apart. I received an oral dose. The most negative thing I can say about this medication is that it had a bitter taste. The drug started taking effect after about 15 minutes. I was generally aware of when they took me into the first procedure room, but after that I have no recollection although I am told that I followed doctor's instructions very well during that time. They didn't want me asleep, just very relaxed.The effect starting wearing off within an hour, and I was out of the facility and on my way home within 90 minutes. As directed, I did lay down for a nap as soon as I got home and I slept soundly for about three hours. (the first time, I only had time for about a 60 minute nap because I was going out to a show that night.) My response to this medication was so positive that would like to have my dentist and oral surgeon use it for their procedures. 😉 No negative side effects, tolerated it well. F 50 2 times

 1   hernia surgery, general anesthesia, versed used as pre medication before going to the operating room, this drug was given to me without any warning while I was talking with the nurse , so I felt like I was in the fight of my life I couldn't see talk nor move this onset was harsh not soft like a floating off to sleep drug which I have experienced in the past I assume it knocked me out at that point I don't know. Post op was also strange, I felt like I was talking but it wasn't me or I was outside my body chatting, at the point when they determined I was ready to leave I dressed and was taken home I had a huge desire to leave I'll call it fear. I have never experienced this in the past surgeries. I also experienced depression after surgery,this was a first for me, and was not my self for the 1st month after surgery, didn't pay my monthly bills, which is extremely odd for me, I manage a couple of rentals and care for elderly parents and was not up to doing normal business tasks. I didn't take any hydrocodone after surgery just ibuprofen for the discomfort. F 68 1 days

 5  Two Root Canals IV sedation I had Versed combined with Propofol & Fentanyl for a 1-2 hour root canal procedure. My teeth don't get numb, so I had no other choice but to be put under. I was given the IV, was out in less than a minute, and woke up feeling like only a few minutes had gone by. I remember none of the procedure, felt no pain, and had no memory loss outside of the procedure. I didn't wake up at all during it. I was groggy for 1-2 days, and threw up once about 10 minutes after waking up. I'm very sensitive to nausea and grogginess though, so it probably was worse for me than others. In general, I thought this combination was great for the procedure and had no surprising side effects. If not for this, I'd have to have root canals and feel everything. Don't forget that most people who have no side effects don't report things online. Don't be scared if you're getting this drug. It's very common and the vast majority of people do not have any side effects at all! F 35

 1  lung biopsy horrible headache and nausea, and I rarely get either. Finally threw up several times what seemed like a gallon yellow liquid, and felt a little better Remembered everything about biopsy, comments made, i.e. dr. had to go in a second place & I asked about what was going on and I remember what they explained, and remembered how it felt etc. (uncomfortable but not really painful), so I don't know what the point of giving Versed was. The biopsy was a piece of cake compared to the after effects. I'm going to claim allergic in the future (thanks to whoever mentioned this, great suggestion). F 57 1 days
