Reaction to versed/fentanyl?

Published

I'm not a nurse so I hope I'm not intruding too much. I had a colonoscopy the other day and was given versed (9mg) and fentanyl (100mcgs) and am wondering whether patients ever "misbehave" when under the influence of these things. I remember nothing about the procedure. But the day after the test, I noticed that there was a second needle mark in my arm near the one where the original needle was inserted and I'm thinking maybe they had to redo the IV because I became uncooperative during the procedure. Can or does that ever happen? I haven't had the nerve yet to call and inquire and don;t even know if the doctor would be obligated to inform me if something had transpired. But something is nagging at me that I may have become disagreeable at some point.

Hoping again that this is not too much of an intrusion and thanks.

K.
