For Light Sedation "I tell the nurses and Dr. each time I have a procedure that this medication does not work for me. They totally ignore me. I had a trial stimulator put in my back today after telling every nurse and Dr. they still used it. I was totally awake until they finished. Horrible experience. It was so painful. I am not happy!!!"

For Light Sedation "Had what I swore was PTSD after a horrific experience with IV Versed for cardiac cath-could not move nor talk but knew it was taking way too long. Was uncomfortable from positioning and kept having waves of impending death. Now I need cataract surgery and allowed them to convince me that the cath experience was due to how gravely ill I was and the fact that it was a lengthy procedure. 1st eye went OK-partial amnesia, no pain, but again the feeling of impending blindness/death. Procedure only took 10 min, which I could deal with. 2nd eye, another horrific event. After the procedure, given Tylenol and ushered out the door. Sorry state of American health care. I went home and took Tramadol. PS-shame on me, I am an RN and should have known better, but in my area if you ask too many questions or complain, they throw you out of practice and supply well exceeds demand, so what can you do. No more invasive care for me EVER !!!!"

For Light Sedation "Jan 2023, I was given fentanyl and Versed for an angiogram and insertion of a venous wall stent in my iliac vein for May-Thurner syndrome. I was awake and conversant through 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."

For Light Sedation "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."
