"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I had this during my colonoscopy along with Fentanyl, and I woke up in the middle of it wide awake and feeling a lot of pain. They tried giving me more with no success. Did not work for me."

"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!"
