Step by step, how does Versed affect a patient? How do they feel/react?

Answer 1

I wish that every health care worker, including anesthesiologists, who administer Versed to a patient would be required to experience the effect of the drug themselves first so that they could accurately describe its effect to the patient to whom they are administering it to. It does not sedate you. It does not put you into a twilight. It does not make you feel drowsy. It does not relax you. It doesn't put you into la-la land. It gives you amnesia and turns you into a zombie. It has absolutely no pain killing properties to it what so ever. It has only been around since 1986 and was initially used in pediatrics to alleviate a child's separation anxiety from their parents. Now it is routinely overused for everyone prior to surgery so that the OR doesn't have to deal with a patient as an alert human being in the OR. They can treat the patient like a piece of meat. They never ask a patient if he or she wants Versed (Midazolam) and they never accurately explain to the patient that it's only use is to cause the patient to have anterograde amnesia.

Answer 2

They never remember. It has amnesia properties, so they dont know what was going on or remember it form about 1 minute after its injected. They are sleeping.

Answer 3

It makes you go to sleep or deep sedation, and has amnesia affects.
