Mudd,
The Mayo clinic site had the following :

"Midazolam is used to produce sleepiness or drowsiness and to relieve anxiety before surgery or certain procedures. Midazolam is also given to produce amnesia (loss of memory) so that the patient will not remember any discomfort or undesirable effects that may occur after a surgery or procedure.

Midazolam is a benzodiazepine. Benzodiazepines belong to the group of medicines called central nervous system (CNS) depressants, which are medicines that slow down the nervous system.

This medicine is given only by or under the immediate supervision of a doctor trained to use this medicine."

It said it is also known as versed. I can see the loss of memory part if your headed into surgery. Why would they prescribe that for you? Maybe so you won't remember the night terrors? Sounds like strong stuff.

Mudd they use midazolam to sedate people in medical ICU so they are comfortable and don't remember all the medical procedures and discomfort they go through. ICU is pretty intense and I don't know if I'd want to remember.

Also it is used to settle patients who are in a highly emotional state, one that could result in the patient or staff being injured. It is a cardio vascular depressant therefore great care should be taken with its use.
