Sound like low blood sugar to me. Did you get shakey and feel like you wanted to vomit?

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest maybe you had a mild epileptic attack. Does anyone in your family have epilepsy or bipolar depressions (the two diseases are related, they just affect different portions of the brain). Anyway, here are some of the symptoms of epilepsy:

A convulsion with or without a fever
Short periods of blackout or confused memory
Occasional "fainting spells" in which bladder or bowel control is lost, followed by extreme fatigue
Episodes of blank staring
Brief periods of no response to questions or instructions
Sudden stiffening or falls for no apparent reason
Episodes of blinking or chewing at inappropriate times
Dazed behavior; being unable to talk or communicate for a short time
Repeated movements that look out of place or unnatural
Sudden fear, anger or panic for no reason
Odd changes in the way things look, sound, smell or feel
Muscle jerks of arms, legs or body
Clusters of swift jerking movements in babies

Is it that obvious?

Mrs Tub, I don't think it was low blood sugar, like you say I didn't get shaky or nausious.

Thucydides: I have type 2 bipolar disorder but this has never happened before. I've recently reduced my dose of meds without permission but it's carbamazepine, an anti-convulsant, so if I'd have blacked out I would expect it to be that... but you can't exactly flirt and black out at the same time.

You were having flashbacks from an earlier drunken episode.

Interesting, but just for your information you don't have to black out when you have a seizure, but rather have amnesia, and one thing that causes such an attack is low blood sugar. Still, it would make more sense if it related directly to your bipolar depression, but I'm not really sure bipolar depression itself can cause amnesia, although as I said earlier they are related. Here's a list of causes of amnesia anyway at http://www.healthscout.com/ency/1/003257.html

The Transient Global Amnesia also sounds interesting, but if I understand it correctly you would eventually recover your memory, and it mainly effects old people.

Thanks Thucy, much appreciated . I'll give it a proper look over in the morning, figure sleep can't exactly hurt. And remembering what happened would be nice, otherwise I've wasted what must have been a rather potent chat up line .

You dont always have to get shakey or sick to your stomache to have low blood sugar. You didnt eat anything solid you said and you felt drunk and I get that way too but i Know I am hypoglycemic. Usually I feel like a hang over hit me and need to vomit. It hurts to stand up and function. i dont know ur body. Thats the best thing I could offer.
