No, Crystal, I haven't.

I've had moments of perhaps one or two seconds when I've forgotten where I was going as I was driving somewhere, on a drive that I make daily that could have ended up at any of perhaps a half dozen places. But I think that's med fog.

I've had similar times when I've been deeply involved in something like a computer project and been snapped back into my immediate surroundings (e.g., phone rings) & been surprised momentarily to find that I'm, e.g., at home, that's it's 4 a.m., etc. I've been so involved that it just takes me several seconds (maybe even ten) to fully orient in time & space. Med fog again? IDK.

This is a long way from what you experienced. I don't think it's all that common. I haven't heard folks here mention it in the time I've been on PC--doesn't mean it doesn't happen all the time, of course.

I would sure check with my professional resources ASAP. If it is any sort of med thing, I'm pretty sure you need to get off of that med pronto.

Just a thought ...

Before your shower, had you taken any OTC drugs? Some of them can have dangerous interactions with other drugs. Cough meds, e.g., often very scary.
