I have been sedated twice before, and every time I hallucinate. Both times it was with Versed (Midazolam). Will this be a good indication of how benzos will effect me? I was prescribed Xanax as needed but I am too scared to take it for that reason and withdrawal. I read online you can go into withdrawal after one dose? I was also reading online that sometimes people take more than they meant to because they black out and end up taking a bunch? Does anyone have any experience with this?

My mother was prescribed Xanax at one time, but she threw them out because it just made her sleep. She was on 1mg, which I think is A LOT. I only have .5mg pills I might split into 2? My doctor said it was ok if I did, so I don't know.

Oh. And the hallucinations are hearing voices. It doesn't sound like people talking around me, it sounds like they are talking into my ear. It's always people I just saw before I am sedated, but they are saying horrible things about me.
