 5  EGD A bit loopy. Very tired. Slept for about 4 hours after I came home. Don't remember conversations with the doctor or my husband. Still a bit tired and I'm sure I will sleep well tonight. I was given Versed with Fentanyl for and EGD. I remember talking to the nurses and the doctor before the procedure and then starting to feel a bit loopy. Almost like a dizzy feeling but weird. Then the next thing I remember is being in the wheelchair and getting in the car. F 37 1 days

 5  Colonoscopy I was groggy until the next day, but I'm not sure that it was from the Versed. I was given the Versed with Fentanyl, and this is the first time I've had Fentanyl. The combination was wonderful because I felt nothing at all, and I only remember a little, which is just what I wanted. F 59

 1  MRI sedation-neuromuscular disease NONE- I walked out of the facility 1hr later as if nothing had been given to me. I was given Versed IV to relax my body and potentially stop my twitching caused by my neuromuscular disease. This medication was ineffective. I didn't fall asleep or forget anything. I was fully awake and aware of my twitching body. I had 3 MRIs scheduled I wasn't able to successfully complete the 1st one. There was not a single readable image. I will be rescheduled under general anesthesia to complete my MRIs to look for any changes in my brain as well as my spinal cord. F 32 1 days

 1  Cataract Surgery IV Anesthetic I was given Versed for cataract surgery, a small amount before the surgery and more during the surgery. I woke up from the surgery feeling just fine and went home. I fell asleep for two hours, then woke up and had the most out of control, horrible feeling of devastating depression with some suicidal thoughts, have never ever had anything like that in my life! It was so extreme I made my husband go call the doctor immediately, and for a moment thought I might have to go to the hospital. Thank God that feeling passed within a few minutes, but was followed by out-of-control feelings of distress and anxiety that would come and go. I felt completely overwhelmed some of the time. I would feel OK for a couple hours and then walk into her grocery store and feel like I was having a nervous break down. It's now one week since the surgery and the feelings are much less intense, but still can come and go. I also remain physically very drained. Went to the gym today and had a hard time doing anyt M 62 1 days

 1  cataract surgery Spouse was given Versed pre-op. He remained unconscious for 2 hours after the 10 minute surgery. Then he kept asking the same questions over and over. He couldn't remember anything at all the rest of that day and the next day also. His memory still isn't the same 2 months after being given this drug. M 70 1 times

 1  Hip replacement surgery Flashback and hysteria prior to loss of consciousness. Unaware of surroundings for several hours post surgery followed by fog, nausea and indigestion. Had constant hiccups (and unable to sleep) for over 24 hours and didn't eat for 48 hours after that. Sense of fear and anxiety for a week. Many years ago I had a severe reaction to halothane as a general anesthesia and lost half my liver, developed halothane hepatitis and spent several years regenerating my liver. I avoided general anesthesia since by having Propofol and fentanyl as twilight sedation or Propofol and epidural or spinal. Once an anesthesiologist gave me Propofol, fentanyl and versed, and I was violently ill. Two weeks ago I had to have general and the the anesthesiologist agreed to only give me Propofol to both induce and maintain the general. After my horrible experience, I checked my medical record and saw that the anesthesiologist had broken our agreement and given me versed along with the Propofol. I need to have the other hip replaced and will have to find a different hospital because I will never trust this hospital with my safety again and a new surgeon because my surgeon only operates at this hospital. Given my experience, I could not enter the OR or look at the hip operating table without remembering the panic, dishonesty and illness I suffered. F 64

 5  Dental surgery (wisdom teeth) No unwanted or unwelcome effects. My experience was pleasant and precisely what I'd been led to expect. Oral triazolam gave very mild sedation and was followed by midazolam (versed) 40 mins later. Within seconds of insertion of the IV, i lost normal consciousness. Subjectively, it was like falling out into a relaxed sleep. Within hours my mind was clear and at ease. I am feeling great today, only 16 hours post-op. Clearly an excellent drug when used appropriately. M 49 1 days

 4  Tonsillectomy elation upon administration. it looked like the anesthesiologist had 2ml in a 3ml syringe so whatever the normal dosing (mg/ml) is. I have an exam and believe i am cognitive enough to study 30 minutes post surgery. Not worried about the "forgetful" side-effect of versed M 28 1 days

 1  Given Versed and Spinal Block for T I felt and remembered pain during surgery also could hear and feel pounding. Still remembered after surgery. After surgery terrible muscle spasms they were also unable to get pain under control for almost 8 hours after surgery. I will NEVER let them give me versed again, nor will I ever recommend it for anyone having a major surgery. I have nightmares about the surgery. Horrible experience and I have had several prior surgeries first time they used versed. F 62 1 days

 1  Knee Replacement Before my scheduled knee replacement, I told the surgeon that I did not want VERSED under any circumstances because the use of it during previous procedures had made me very sick and had also caused loss of memory. He assured me that all I had to do was tell the anesthesiologist when I got to the hospital. However, when the anesthesiologist came in, it was with two other nurses, all three of whom pressured me into letting them use "the tiniest bit" of VERSED, to help me get through the spinal injection I would be having. With my family also siding in against me, I consented and have been sorry ever since. Again, I've suffered memory loss from the VERSED. Now I am scheduled for minor surgery and have told the surgeon, his nurse, and the surgical center, that I don't want VERSED and that, if they try to force it on me this time, I will walk out without the surgery. One positive note: When I had my pre-op exam, my family doctor made a notation on my allergy list regarding VERSED: LONG TIME MEMORY LOSS. I would advise anyone reading this to insist that their doctor(s) do the same so that you will have a record of when you reported it to your doctor, should you ever need that information. F 74

Patient History
 1  celiac plexus block Went in to get a celiac plexus block. Was given three doses of versed. Kept telling the docs that I was fully awake, aware, and very anxious because what they were doing hurt considerably. I have been put under for multiple procedures, and know the point when you are starting to go "out." This never occurred. They just kept repeating that I was fine and I would "forget everything." To which I kept reiterating that I would not and the versed wasn't working. They might as well have given me water in my IV. I ended up jumping off of the table in pain, and had to leave. My main doctor's office that referred me to have the procedure kept telling me that there's no way I would remember anything. Wish that was the case. Would not recommend. F 29 1 days

 5  Athrocentesis of TMJ Lingering drowsiness and some mild and harmless heart palpitations persisted 6 hours after IV Versed. No hallucinations or horror as others mentioned. Worked fine for me, I was nervous due to reviews but no major issues. In definitely in a fog now 6-7 hrs post op but it's nothing horrible at all. Initial dose just made me sleepy and sort of relaxed.. No worries on this drug! M 33 1 days
