Ok not sure where my question starts ... but i'm wondering how many of you have blacked out/fallen unconscious on medications.

This happened to me last night, last thing I remember is going to the toilet then going to the kitchen.. then I woke up on the floor after falling down and smacking my head into the floor... Painful but thankfully no damage I can see minus bruises and lumps.

Was also covered in a bad cold sweat afterwards then passed out for 10 hours.

I had only taken 2 Neulactil (Pericyazine) which is a mild anti psychotic thats sposed to help with sleep. This is only 5mg dosage so I can't see how it can cause such a severe reaction (happened an hour after I took them)

I'm also still on a low dose of Moclobemide (Aurorix) but intend to change it as it seems to interact with alot of things.

Seeing the doctor Monday so hopefully she can help!

Very scary experience though Unconsciousness

I hope that you're doctor has some answers for you. I'm on Seroquel now and very happy with the results, but I cannot do anything after I've taken the meds. Well I have about a half hour or productivity, I have to go to the bathroom etc during that time.

I do not recall conversations if someone calls after I've fallen asleep (or by some reports, just before).

The Pericyazine isn't supposed to be taken with any other drugs that cause drowsiness and I think the Aurorix can too? They certainly don't sound like they're working well together. Glad you're going to the doctor's tomorrow. Could have just been a faint from sudden blood pressure drop or something like that.
