   AMEN!!! Unless you've been a "versed victim" you'll never understand how this drugs changes you for ever. The memory loss, anxiety, depression, paranoia. Is this helping a person? I can't possibly see how it could. It just makes the patient a complia...

   I tell everyone I know to never, ever let anyone give them the drug Versed, it causes permanant memory/brain damage, causes severe anxiety attacks and I also tell them if they cave in and let the dr/anestiologist/dentist/nurse give them this drug.......

   serialmom12 replied to darne20's topic in Gastroenterology

   You're right, a caring, well qualified Dr makes all the difference. I was VERY lucky to have found two of them in the St Pete-Clearwater area that agreed to do this procedure without sedation and just a small amount of Demerol (which really didn't do...

   I'm so glad that everything turned out ok. Also I'm glad that someone listened to me and found out that this is NOT a painful procedure and that sedation is totally unnecessary and a total waste of time and money. Pain meds are a good idea, I did bot...

6. Can a patient refuse sedation?

   serialmom12 replied to Web-G.I.nurse's topic in Gastroenterology

   Yes Diane, it's no big deal with a colonoscopy, you don't need sedation for that. An endoscopy you do because you feel like you're being smothered, and you choke which causes you to panic. I hope for your sake that your Dr was compassionate enough to...

   serialmom12 replied to Web-G.I.nurse's topic in Gastroenterology

   You can refuse sedation. I did for two colonoscopies. Discuss it with your doctor and if they won't do it w/o sedating you, RUN LIKE HELL AND FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ThIS procedure is NOT painful. Just have the Dr give you either some Fenta...

   serialmom12 replied to Web-G.I.nurse's topic in Gastroenterology

   Yes you can refuse sedation. Just talk to your doctor before the procedure and make sure that he/she will do the procedure w/o sedation, don't let it be a last minute surprise. I always am up front with my refusal of sedation, and I've always been lu...

   At least Propofol doesn't cause people to have permanent memory loss, severe anxiety attacks and Post Trumatic Stress Disorder like Versed does!!! Check out VersedBusters blogspot and www.askapatient.com if you want to hear the horrible things peopl...

11. Colonoscopy Drugs and alternatives

    serialmom12 replied to darne20's topic in Gastroenterology

    Hello, The ONLY reason we tell people about this evil poison called Versed is because it's virtually ruined our lives. I had no issues whatsoever with memory loss, anxiety, paranoia, PTSD, severe panic attacks, etc until this drug was pumped into my ...

    serialmom12 replied to darne20's topic in Gastroenterology

    Yes you can and you SHOULD refuse sedation for a colonoscopy!!!! This is NOT a painful procedure at all. I've had two of them done by two different doctors and I told them both up front that I absolutely refuse to be sedated for this short procedure....

    David, I'm sorry but you are incorrect. Versed has been available and given to the public since 1986. My daughter was given it in 1988 for an EEG to find out why she was having seizures.

    Google Versed Horror stories, you'll get a bunch of websites on what a horrible drug Versed is and how it gives people permanent memory loss, anxiety, depression and PTSD.

    serialmom12 replied to mat/childnurse's topic in Gastroenterology

    You CAN have a colonoscopy with just Demerol or Fentanyl and no sedation. Just a word of warning, they will do their darndest to get you to take Versed. The nurse kept telling me 'Oh honey you NEED Versed, you won't be able to stand the pain." First ...
