Did it make you calmer? Sleepy?

Versed will knock your a$$ out.  Valium will calm you.  These are two different meds.

With Versed, it depends on the dose.  It is frequently used during cardiac caths.  It can be adjusted, as needed, during a procedure.

Yes, I've had it given before surgery.....made me feel a little giggly but much calmer.  Then once in the OR they gave me the really good stuff - lights out!

You should do a search for Versed.  This question was just asked yesterday, and you might get more answers from that thread.
