I made my appt with the pain clinic for facet joint dx and asked to go with the sedation.
Wondering how long it takes to wear off?
I am supposed to be somewhere later the same day ( pain clinic at 9 am, pcp at 1:30) - or should I reschedule the other appt?

I'd reschedule the other appointment.
Not only does Versed make you dopey, it's also got (wonderful) amnesiatic properties. I dont remember having my wisdom teeth removed, and I barely remember my carpal tunnel surgery.
My dad had a heart catheterization a couple of weeks ago. He was drunk the entire day, even with the antidote drug they give to reverse the effects. He told me that's a normal reaction to the med (my dad is a nurse anesthetist and gives people Versed all the time) My dad doesnt really remember most of that day. He remembers sleeping a lot, waking up to use the potty, and then sleeping a lot more.
My dad does not remember the nurse telling him not to make any important decisions and to not sign any legal documents that day just before they released him to go home.
Reschedule your other appointment. You probably wouldnt remember what happens at the other appointment anyways.
