Default versed

Thank you all for responding. I am always reluctant to have a drug used that impacts the Central Nervous System such as anesthetics do. I know versed is a GABA -A receptor inhibitor, and as such reduces the effects of GABA-A-- an inhibitory neurotransmitter. without GABA, neurons fire too often and easily. (theorized to be a deficit of GABA in PD patients) Since it is short acting, whatever effects should be gone quickly, though it helps to know others have had the drug administered without problems.
As my husband often reminds me, if I am not overcerebrating, I am perseverating. Should be my signature....madelyn
