A member asked:
Months ago i had a procedure while sedated and the sirgeon used fentanyl and versed. im wondering why upon injection i went blind. all i could see was white, i could hear and talk but not see. a bit later i lost memories?

Those 2 parenteral drugs are frequently used in the hospital for procedure or for patient on ventilator. What you experienced is the versed's side effect which causes retrograde amnesia and both drugs may cause visual disturbance. These effects are transient without long term complication(s). Take care.
