For Light Anesthesia "My first ever surgery, an emergency abdominal surgery to remove a life-threatening colon mass. Because I was in pain, mortal danger, and uneducated, I allowed them to give me any drug they wanted. I came out of surgery wishing I had died instead. I’m anxious, I’m unable to sleep, and I’m a completely different person than I was before Versed. In a paranoid state I tracked down one of my surgeons who took pity on me and said it looked like they gave me a heavy dose of Versed. He said he’s been a surgeon for 33 years and NEVER allowed Versed to be used on him. With his information, my new life makes sense. I experience memories and feelings of the surgery, which I shouldn’t, and I can’t tell what’s real or distorted. I’m powerless, terrified, and suicidal. And there’s no cure."

For Light Anesthesia "I have taken this medication twice before going into an operation. The first time time the medication worked really well and right after taking it everything went blank and I just woke up right after. The second time however I believe my body somehow adapted to the drug and I was fully awake and aware of what was going on after taking the medication. Luckily they put me to sleep with another anesthesia once I got to the operating room, but I would not take this medicine for something like a dental procedure or something where you're going to be awake because there is a possibility that it won't make you blank out and you'll remember everything that happened unfortunately."

For Light Sedation "I just had an injection in my back and was given Versed. The anesthesiologist knew that the first experience I had with an injection in my back went very badly and was extremely painful. After this terrible terrible injection, the anesthesiologist told me he even gave me more Versed because of the previous experience. I’ve felt everything they did and it was excruciatingly painful. I don’t think I can blame the anesthesiologist though. It may just be my reaction to the drug but I’m totally traumatized now and I can’t imagine ever getting a third injection in my back after this experience. This better work is all I can say!"

For Light Anesthesia "I get a botox injection done on my bladder every 4 months. I have a spinal cord injury and it's a procedure I have to get done. They give me versed every time. I get very stressed before this surgery because sometimes I wake up in pain. But when they give me the versed in the operating room my anxiety melts away and I wake up in the recovery room. Then shortly after that, they give me pain medication. I've never had a bad reaction to this medication, and I get surgery and procedures a lot."

For Light Sedation "Jan 2023 I was given fentanyl and versed for and Angiogram and insertion of Venous Wall Stent in my Iliac Vein for May Thurber Syndrome. I was awake and conversesant thru the entire procedure and remember everything. Pain was minimal until the first stent was deployed. They were unable to do the second stent as I had received the maximum amount of Versed for my weight. I now have to have a second procedure. I hope they have a different method."

For Light Anesthesia "Had this earlier in the week for minor surgery and was given this to help my anxiety before going into the OR. Worked great and quick. I felt super floaty and like I was getting a buzz going. Only had 2mg as I was given Propofol for anesthesia, but I calmed right down and was pretty chill and the amnesia took a few minutes to kick in for me, as last thing I remember was my surgeon asking how I was feeling as she helped me on the OR table. I was a little groggy afterwards but my procedure was only about 30 minutes so wore off me pretty quick, but I was definitely feeling a little less inhibited than usual, but in a funny way. It did make me super chatty once it was starting to wear off, though. But all-in-all a good experience for me."

For Light Sedation "I also am an RN and had Versed today for cataract surgery (I do not know the dosage - I was dosed x 2, but asked post-op what I had been given) with absolutely no affect. Fortunately, the numbing eye drops that they used many times kept me from feeling any pain."

For Light Sedation "Does not work on me at ALL! I've been given the most you can give a person and still had a panic attack during 4 different procedures. I think it shouldn't be used for patients like myself with anxiety and panic disorder. It's useless."

For Light Anesthesia "I had Versed (midazolam) and propofol for a procedure and had a great experience. They were able to use half as much propofol as a result of the Versed being administered first. This meant that I came to and regained my coordination and senses in less than half the time."

For Light Sedation "I was given versed and fentanyl for wisdom tooth extraction. I specifically choose a doctor who would sedate my and clearly expressed I did not want to have to feel and remember what was happening. My doctor explained I’d be in a dream like state and not very aware. I remember everything. It didn’t really hurt and they also gave me a bunch of shots of local anesthetic (probably lidocaine but I didn’t ask). It was uncomfortable and I could hear the tooth crack and I still remember the sensation of them twisting my teeth out. I also remember the entire conversation they had while working on me which was very unprofessional ( they were talking about family issues and how they hate the other hospital nearby and stuff like that). I’m now scared to ever need another procedure and I can’t keep replaying the feeling of them twisting my tooth out in my head."
