NikkiB's new thread, new life

I actually ended up putting a paper bag on the night stand next to my bed. Of course, now that I did that, I have not had one of these episodes since. I have also been on Lexipro so that might be playing some part in not having this happen. The very strange thing for me is that I was asleep when it happened and did not wake up remembering any dreams.

As for the medication, I would be willing to bet they either gave you Xanx or Ativan (or their generics) Both are in the family of benzodiazapines. Typically in lower doses they do not create amnisia but it certainly can happen. You might want to try taking half of a tablet instead of the whole thing and see if that is better. If you let me know the dose (and the medication), I can tell you how high it is. Typically they will start you pretty low though.
