For Light Anesthesia "I've had this drug several times for dental procedures, and I just recently learned that people are actually awake while on this! I always thought it put me to sleep! At least I feel that way! I am so thankful for this drug!!! Each and every time I am given Versed, I don't remember a thing about my procedure. This last time, I don't even remember coming home. It was awesome!!!! This drug is truly a life-saver for people terrified of procedures."

"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."

For Light Anesthesia "I have taken this medication twice before going into an operation. The first 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 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 had a vertebroplasty done on two back fractures. Have had Versed in the past and it worked fine. Not this time. I felt every minute of the doctor working on me. Not sure it worked in the past, but not this time."

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 Sedation "I was given Versed and fentanyl for wisdom tooth extraction. I specifically chose a doctor who would sedate me and clearly expressed that I did not want to have to feel and remember what was happening. My doctor explained I’d be in a dreamlike 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."

For Light Anesthesia "I tried to tell the anesthesiologist that I have sleep apnea, use oxygen at night, have three conditions. Major veins, and I am very sensitive to drugs. He wouldn't listen. Put me immediately out, and my oxygen blood level went down to 51. Had I stayed at that level for 5 minutes, I would have died. The hospital changed the records. I was convulsing, gasping for air. The eye doctor said I jerked side to side violently. Lucky it was at a time in the procedure that it didn't matter. Anesthesiologist searched the sheets/blankets for the meter and told the eye doctor it had come off my finger."

For Light Sedation "I was given Versed prior to my cataract surgery about 1 ½ years ago. I didn’t feel much of anything from it, but also felt no pain during the surgery due to the eye drops they give you. I had no other side effects from it at all. I will be having my other eye done in the very near future and I understand I will be given this again. I read some awful reviews and can’t imagine having those side effects. I prefer less over more in medication so hope all goes well on the next surgery."

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 Anesthesia "They gave me this before my gallbladder surgery, popped it in the IV. Within a few minutes, they were wheeling me in the OR, and I remember nothing after that. Great drug!"
