So yesterday, I was at the IBMA convention in Raleigh, NC. Our company had a booth there. So around 1:30 I took my pain meds... or so I thought. What I actually took were two Ambian! They look incredibly alike. About an hour later the last thing I remember was checking out a bass, standing up and feeling woozy.
Two hours later I "woke up" in the ER with my friend and the doctors thinking I had a TIA stroke! Apparently I was conscious and talking during the two+ hours but I have zero recollection. ER personnel came and I was transferred to an ambulance checked out etc. I have no recollection of any of it and in fact I was insisting I was fine and needed to get back to work. They did a CT which proved normal. They wanted to keep me but I signed myself out, went back to the hotel room and slept a couple more hours. I was totally fine. The most confusing part was the not being aware of myself or my behavior. People thought there was something seriously wrong with me. I was just Ambianed out!
Lesson learned, Read the bottle carefully!
Positive and well rested thoughts
