Here’s a short but sweet video about Versed (Midazolam). Enjoy:)

Heard some horror stories where people remained aware when sedated with this.

i think versed is the reason why every time i get wheeled into surgery i'm talking everyone's ears off and/or flirting with a doctor

Midazolam harmed my child and paradoxical reactions was never explained despite questioning its safety. Ask questions especially at hospitals!

This stuff is definitely good for sedation, but it makes me feel pretty crummy after for about a day and a half. But I suppose it's better than being awake during minor surgery lol.

I was sedated with Versed and Fentanyl during my wisdom teeth removal, powerful stuff. I just remember my head tilting back after they got done injecting it into my IV and next thing I know I'm already in the car halfway home, I also really wanted a milkshake.

Got it for a heart stent, was talking to doctors, next thing I knew I was being wheeled out of the Cath lab and back to my room lol

If you are running fent and versed because you only have one IV access, you have a lot more issues. Of course I use trissel's compatibility to make sure im good and generally like to run all sedation through one line. Also, I guess it depends on facility, but versed it commonly in the RSI kit.

They give this liquid form at the eye institute where I will be having a cataract removal. I do have glaucoma so why are they giving this to me if contraindicated?

I have a question, please!
Is this type of sedation safe in the first month of pregnancy, please?
