For Light Sedation "I was given Versed as sedation for 3 colonoscopies. It is great. After the procedure, I have no grogginess, and it is fast-acting and doesn't linger throughout the day. My last procedure, I was given propofol. It was terrible. I was sick for 2 days. I will definitely have Versed used here on out as long as it's available."

For Light Sedation "I have been through a lot of spine surgeries and complications with a car accident. With permanent damage, I get Versed for spinal epidurals and trigger point injections every 4 weeks. Obviously, I have a tolerance to this. But even from the beginning, I always fall asleep and relax easily. Once or twice I have had grogginess after, and I believe it was due to being administered more because it was soon after surgeries and tolerance was higher. Other than normal tiredness, it helps wonderfully to get me through the procedure. I don't remember anything and can function a few hours later after a long nap. Every person is different, and it matters how much is administered, as with any medication. I would say it has a high rating for doing what it is intended for."

"Had this for a wisdom teeth extraction. Apart from feeling a slight burning sensation when the needle was slid into my hand, it was great. Didn't feel or remember any part of the actual operation. Was very groggy, but I rested for a few hours at home afterward and was fine by nightfall."

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 2 mg 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 the 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 afterward, but my procedure was only about 30 minutes, so it 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."
