Versed is the "dirty little secret" of anesthesiologists who usually intentionally do not explain it to poor unsuspecting patients. (Makes their job easier, and who wants to take time to actually explain it's effects - the patient might refuse it !) Most people are fine with it anyway, but there are more than a "few" of us who have had "genuinely adverse effects" from it. I had a nightmare experience and no one cared.
