Versed is actually what we call the "happy drug" because it makes most people loopy, silly, giggly, and has the added bonus of essentially making you forget the procedure you just went through. Most of the children's hospitals I worked in used it for procedures like spinal taps, bone marrow biopsies, etc. on our kids with great success. Made the procedures easier for everyone. It's really a very effective drug.

That being said, you will need someone to drive you home following the procedure because you'll be a little (or possibly a lot!) goofy and unstable.

As far as PD meds, I would think you'd want to be "on" for a procedure like this, especially considering that the versed can make you very unstable, so that your symptoms will be under better control. Just give the staff a call and they should be able to tell you.

Personally, I think the worst part is swallowing the pre-procedure liquid that cleans you out. I have a sensitive stomach and that stuff just tastes nasty! Good luck!
