To S13, Hello, although I am not a medical professional, I believe this supports the notion that different people will have varied reactions and effectiveness when given the same drug and/or dosage. Unfortunately for me, the Midazolam left me with lingering symptoms like depression, headaches, mood changes that I never had a problem with before I was given the drug. Hopefully for you, if you are still seeking the procedure, you can be given something that works for you, and is safe also. I suggest just ask your questions you have of the medical staff in what they will do in performing the procedure, and do your own research if possible.
