I've had Versed administered via IV for five procedures - colonoscopy, endoscopy, and three epidural steroid injections into my cervical spine. I'd love to tell you how well it worked, but I don't remember a thing. :-) I recommend it highly for conscious sedation purposes.

Very effective for colonscopy, BUT two days after I'm still dizzy, light headed and staggering. How can you speed up the bpdy's excretion of this drug???

Thank God for this medication! I was given Versed + Fentanyl IV for an upper GI endoscopy, the idea of which terrified me. Well, I knew absolutely *nothing* from the time the tube was placed into my mouth until it was removed. It was as though it never happened at all. I would now recommend anyone who needs an upper GI to have one without fear or worry. I did feel a bit odd the rest of the day, b ... Show Full Comment

I did feel a bit odd the rest of the day, but they advised me not to drive for the rest of the day, so I wasn't surprised. No residual aftereffects the following day.

This was given to me before an Upper GI type of test. It was given through an IV in small doses at a time until I was out. I was out the entire time the test was being done and had no discomfort at all. I would recommend this medication as it worked very well for me but understand it doesn't work as well on some.

This drug was administered to my 23 month old toddler so that an infected nail could be removed from her hand while she was awake. Though my husband and I pushed for another route we were assured that there were no side effects to the drug and that our daughter was at low risk. WRONG!!!!

Though my husband and I pushed for another route we were assured that there were no side effects to the drug and that our daughter was at low risk. WRONG!!!! She had severe reactions to the drug including but not limited to abnormal heart rhythm, delirium, anxiety (that lasted for at least a week following the administering of the drug),easily angered or annoyed (also for about a week following), and over excitement. This was an aweful experience to go through with a small child. Talk frankly with your Dr and look up the drug before you let them use it!!!!
