You most: Definitely we're not given that much versed. Maybe you meant 5 mg? Either way, versed should have no long term impact on sleep.

Other Meds?: It is highly unlikely you were given 50mg of versed during your surgery. Some patients who have impacted wisdom teeth removed also receive Decadron (dexamethasone) a steroid to help minimize the postoperative swelling. You were likely also prescribed some type of pain medication to take post op. Some patients report feeling hyper with the Decadron as well with some pain meds.
