Midazolam is AWESOME. I was told i would be concious, I forget why, but i wont care, and likely wont remember. Let me tell you... I didnt care. i became a little concious and bit worried inbetween procedures... They said dont worry, we dose ya again... I felt it hit and they started the procedure... Cool... Ooh.. knife .. they are.... I came to rolling down the hallway. Neat stuff.

Thank you for pointing out right up front that midazolam is a sedative or calming agent. Too many people infer that it is part of the anesthetic cocktail. Also, please state that midazolam MIGHT cause a patient to not make any new memories of a painful procedure. In my personal case, it has never done that. Perhaps I was not given a large enough dosage as you have stated, but an anesthesiologist told me a certain percentage of people do not get amnesia from this drug. As an aside, it is a pet peeve of mine that the medical profession thinks it is such a great thing that they can perform painful procedures on patients, are experienced in all their relative horror, but thinking it is such a great thing that they don’t remember it afterwards. Taken to an extreme, how would someone feel if they found them self being tortured for whatever reason but they’re torturers were compassionate enough to give them sufficient midazolam that they had no recollection of it? Would anyone be comfortable in that situation ? just a thought

Horrible stuff that's used for dental sedation in the UK. It's very unsafe and unpredictable, yet dentists and the medical profession tell the public it's the best thing since sliced bread. As you say, it decreases breathing and blood pressure, making it extremely dangerous for patients who are prone to conditions like Vasovagal Syncopy, and who are likely to have that triggered by things like needles and local anaesthetics, where they will then have further decreases in breathing, blood pressure, and oxygenation caused by the Vasovagal response. This can lead to Asystole and death.

This awful drug is being used as an end of life drug despite the fact that an Ohio judge banned it from executions, deeming it to be inhumane.
