 1  venous angioplasty, colon/endoscop, I remember acting out grasping at people during surgeries, crying afterwards, uncontrollable shaking with erratic heart palpatations. Overwhelming grief for 3 weeks after last time I took it. The first time it was for minor surgery. I got what's called the Versed crazies. The next time colon/endoscopy, I was assured I would be fine but had to give me extra Demerol during one of the procedures for the crazies again. The next time for angioplasty I stated I didn't want the drug, they ordered an anesthestsist, but didn't get one. I was given versed/fentanyl it worked, although I remember acting out a bit again. The next and last time,I thought I would be okay. This was the most horrific experience ever. I had this same procedure before, for a venous intervention through the internal jugular vein. The nurse was nasty said horrible things to me, made fun of me and yelled at me, during the procedure.I felt abused. I remember looking out from under the sheet, not being able to move or talk. It felt like rape! It felt like being buried alive.I cried for weeks. After I had overwhelming emotions that caused me to shake out of the blue with no warning. This is very uncharacteristic of F 50 5 times

 5  cardiac ablation I had no side effect whatsoever..it worked perfectly...I fell asleep and woke up in recovery and that is exactly what I prayer it would do. If you are having a procedure and your apprehensive or nervous, Versed is the medication for you. I was extremely frightened of having an cardiac ablation and for me it put me to sleep, I have no memory or ill effects from Versed. I recommend it highly. F 52 1 days

 1  Colonoscopy It did not put me out and I think they felt they could handle me with less care since I was not expected to remember anything. Pain was not ridiculous, but worse than I expected and they didn't seem to think it was a big deal. Since Versed is NOT supposed to be a pain killer, I would prefer to not bother with it. It does not help the patient and the staff thinks they can push you through the process faster and with less care. M 51 1 days

 5  Colonoscopy I had no side effects from Versed 5 mg. I also took Fentanyl 100 mg for pain. I went on this web site and I was scared. It was my first time. I am glad I took the drugs I took. There is air that is introduced into your body during the procedure. When my procedure was done my nurse made sure I cough so I would pass gas through my rectum. I think this can help you. I also think you should have a good doctor. F 51 1 times

 4  Endoscopy/colonoscopy Taken in combo with Fentanyl . Only real side effect was a lingering (day or two) effect of light amnesia. Like being slightly hung over or not getting enough sleep. M 49

 1  by-pass graft leaked Lost memory of entire hospital stay (11 days). Anger during the time it was administered. Attempted to remove IV's. Somethings occured that ruined my friendship of 48 years (friend won't speak to me since the hospital stay). My relationship with my daughter was ruined by something said that I have no recollection of. She won't discuss what occured that causes our estrangement nor will her sister tell me. I have had on-going memory loss. To be told it was given for anxiety was an excuse. The staff and medication created the anxiety. I am extremely pragmatic and deal with reality better then the unknown. I am not afraid of death though I dislike pain. I could have understood medication for for the two and half days on life support but for more then 11 days...why? I was raped years ago and trust is difficult enough. The hospital staff wrote for "anxiety" damn the versed and the attitudes of excluding me in my care caused anxiety. I've cared for many family members so I am prepared and not afraid I want to know not have information hidden from me. No one discussed versed with me or prepared my family for the reactions it gives. I never want any medication like that ever again! I am one who can and will deal with reality. I am having difficulty now ensuring I never receive Versed or any amnesia causing drug in the future. I suffered Hypoxy and a number of other complications including coding once for 23 minutes (thank you for oxygen). I lost a total of 22 days of my life the medication did not leave F 63 11 days

 5  EGD/colonoscopy It was a breeze and I wouldn't have it any other way. The nurse asked me what my favorite cocktail was and I told her and she said you are going to get like ten of them in a minute and without the hangover. She was right. Smooth sailing all the way..woke up in recovery, my daughter took me home and I hate a lite breakfast and went back to bed...for 5 hours..great day! F 50 1 days

 5  Removal of Wisdom Teeth It first I got drowsy and felt very pleasant. Next thing I knew - It was over with! When I walked down the hall, my husband said that I would raise my legs super high to take a step. As time has past, I do remember alot more - but no pain or bad memories. After the procedure I was so happy and wanted to tell everyone that I was worried for nothing. But they did not want me to talk. No bad dream, no bad side affects of any kind. I would suggest NOT to drink caffine or take any diet pills of any kind before having versed. "Uppers" so to speak will cause bad side affects. F 23 1 times

 1  colonscopy and then endoscopy For the colonoscopy, don't remember most of the day and had a bad headache for two days after (felt like a bad hangover). Had the endo a few days later and told them about the reaction before. I think they reduced the dosage as memory loss was only for the procedure and about an hour after. Still feel a little foggy and dizzy two days later. M 35

 5  colonoscopy and dental surgery This was the second and third times that I have had versed and had absolutely no negative side effects or after effects. I don't remember any of the dental surgery and they woke me up before the colonoscopy was over for a "tour of my colon" but I had no pain or weirdness. As with any medication I'm sure it can effect different people in a whole range of ways but for me it is a good medication. F 46

 5  Prostate Biopsy A touch of nausea but the drug worked very well This was my second prostate biopsy - the first time was without any sedative. The second was with versed. The second time was "almost" enjoyable. M 55 1 days

 5  colonoscopy / endoscope None That I know of, this is the 5th time I have had versed it followed with diprivan and ultiva as anesthesia agents. All I know is they were starting to give it to me and the next I am in recovery. F 54

 4  upper endoscopy grogginess, no short term memory for most of the day. I remember gagging and choking as the scope was going down my throat, but other than that, I have no memory of the procedure, which is fine by me. I was given Versed only, not with combination of Fentanyl, so I was given a larger dose of Versed. I would not be concerned if I had to have another procedure with Versed only. It helped tremendously. F 30 1 days

 1  Colonoscopy This drug , mixed with demerol did not knock me out! I was awake through the whole procedure.I kept telling the doctor it was hurting, The fact he was blowing air up me to expand my colon, Then he did a biopsy. I felt everything. I went to sleep after I got home a couple of hours later. I called the hospital the next day to make sure they did not charge me for this and they said once it had been put in my IV, I owned it. I will check my drugs next time b/f givin to me... F 45 1 days

 1  Heart catherization After surgery, became very agitated and anxious, pulled my own IV out and left the hospital early. Over next couple of days was angry and suicidal. On third day, I tried to shoot myself in the head, and decided to miss at the last minute. I felt horrible, and then after three days it went away. I will never, never have that drug again. I am pissed. Do not take it. Refuse it. F 50 1 days

 5  eyelid surgery Versed did what it was supposed to do. I was very apprehensive and nervous, but immediately after administration by the anesthesiologist, I became very relaxed and tolerated the procedure without problems. Would not hesitate to take versed again. No ill effects at all. M 60 1 days
