Forgot name of medication I was given while living in France

I was hospitalized for schizoaffective disorder and given a high dose of liquid medication every night to knock me out. I can’t remember the name of it but I think it originated in Spain. Google isn’t helping me and probably now thinks I am trying to smuggle drugs into the US. Lol.

Don't know about the Spain part, but midazolam is the most commonly used sedative in French ICUs per https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3751696/ .

Midazolam might have been called by the brand names Versed or Dormicum.

no way that hospital would dispense benzo every day like this, more typical medication would be hydroxyzine or something similar - sedative antihistamine with some antipsychotic effect, or the other way around
