Midazolam for Light Anesthesia "Told the anesthesiologist not to give me Versed because it made me nauseous. I had been meditating and was very relaxed on the operating table awaiting my hip replacement. Suddenly, I became afraid, paranoid, and the last I remembered was trying to get off the table. I had prolonged amnesia, nausea, hiccups for 24 hours, and I cried and was anxious for a week afterwards. My records show I was given Versed despite telling them not to."

For Light Anesthesia "I was given this for my first colonoscopy. The procedure was successful, relaxed during the procedure. It was after the procedure that I became sick to my stomach and was not able to keep anything down for 5 days. Three months later, at my annual physical, when they went through my blood work with me, my physician asked me if I was drinking again (I am a recovering alcoholic), as my liver functions were askew! After backtracking, we suspected it was the Versed. I’ve had three more procedures since, and it’s in my file that I get severe GI problems from Versed. No more problems since."

For Light Sedation "Had midazolam and fentanyl anesthesia for blepharoplasty. Did not stop pain at all. I felt everything. I kept commenting on how much it hurt. Vomited 3 times (bile) getting off the table, going from wheelchair to car, and when I got home. So dizzy I could not walk without holding on to the wall. The intense nausea let up after 8 hrs and the pain with it. Mild positional dizziness continued. 5 weeks later, out of the blue, the anesthesia hit me again with full force. Nausea & dizziness - couldn't walk. Took meclizine, slept 11 hrs, and now it's gone. Hope that doesn't happen again!"

For Light Anesthesia "I received an injection through an IV drip port, and I did and do not remember anything other than waking up. I was extremely off-balance and had to move very slowly, or maybe that was the effect of the drug on my central nervous system. My entire body felt heavy and difficult to move. I did have an appetite but did not remember I had bought food to eat the day before my surgery. I tried to have Pizza Hut deliver a pizza, but the person taking the order was incompetent, so I hung up. I called Chopstix, a great Thai food restaurant, and ordered Pho soup with chicken. I took pain medication, Tylenol-codeine and amoxicillin, with the soup. I became dizzy, sick to my stomach, nauseated, and began sweating profusely. I stopped eating and waited for all symptoms to subside. I hope I never have to take midazolam/versed again."
