I was given Versed for an endoscopy in 1991 and I swear the drug ruined my entire life. I was normal before I was given this evil drug w/o my knowledge or consent. I woke up like 5 times during the test, choking and trying to strangle the doctor, (I'm a bad asthmatic on top of it all,) I have permanent throat damage and can't eat a lot of foods. (he offered to "fix" me if I came back to his office... yeah, right! )
The result of this drug being given to me resulted in:
Bipolar disorder
Severe anxiety attacks
Chronic depression
PTSD
Paranoia

I doubt at this late date I have any recourse to sue, I just live one day at a time and see a good psychiatrist and therapist, take my medication like a good little girl and try to live life to the fullest that I'm able to... which isn't a very good quality of life I hate to say. I feel like it's my life's crusade now to warn people NOT to let their doctors or dentists give them this evil, mind altering drug. There are quite a few websites on the evils of versed... and these people are NOT lying about it's effects. I've complained several times to the FDA to pull it off the market.

I looked it up and here is what I could find

Is Versed being used for torture? | Brad Ideas

You need to start a petition to get it off the market and get info from people who have taken it and the unwanted lasting side affects

I thought some of the people on there could help even if just moral support because they have had the same problem.
