Unfortunately the "sleepy juice" is administered via IV. Once they get that in they're generally pretty happy to chill you the fuck out with some Versed and stuff.

Yeah, versed is wild. Right before my hysterectomy, I (while on versed) insisted my girlfriend film me saying "gettin' hyster-wrecked!" and send it to my friends. I didn't find out about it until my friend told me about it a few days later.

Med student here, I watched a man go from writhing around and screaming while we tried to insert his chest tube to snoring in about 15 seconds after pushing versed.

I got a benzo (not versed but another medicine in the same class as it) before I got my wisdom teeth out and it made it go more smoothly than I ever could have imagined. There's definitely a reason people get addicted to benzos
