The medications you were/are on are the most likely culprit.

As someone else point out, diazapam does 'odd things' to folk.

Even after you stop dosing (a week or so) diazapam and other meds can still influence your brain - or if you prefer 'fuck you up' LOL.

As for this stressful life of yours. Stop it.

Stress is not good for the body, the mind, the heart and the soul. Nothing is worth working at a job that causes harm (Seriously money isn't worth the stress).

Do speak to your tending physician soonest about this odd occurrence.

Rare things like Blood clots may be present - while very rare in simple procedures such as having the tonsils removed, they have been known to cause all sort of odd things before they kill a person.

A clot in the neck (artery/vein) can lead to blackouts (your still moving about, but unaware of it), dizziness, loss of short term memories, minor headaches, mood changes, changes in behavior (mood - how you feel, behavior how you act).  Usually there is more than one symptom.

Stress then sudden real relaxation after being under lots of stress can have physical manifestations - negative ones, such as vomiting, memory loss, and mood changes (depression).

Anesthesia, that which they used to put you under, can have long term and short term effects. Post op most people don't recall being in the recovery room. Sure they can recall clearly everything up to the point that the initial drug was given via the IV before the operation, but the hours after the operation, even the whole day they 'forget'.  Some people end up with 'lapses' further down the road - missing time, lost memories of recent and sometimes eve long term events.

Your memory loss so close to after a procedure along with being on meds should been known by your physician.

While medically speaking this is most likely 'nothing' - emotionally and mentally speaking this can be devastating to you and cause a lot of 'odd stuff', worry, concern, etc that can cause more harm than the temporary brain fart you had.

Original Message Im 22, healthy, work fulltime and have a very relatively busy/stressful lifestyle.... On saturday night a friend accompanied my girlfriend and myself to the casino for a few hours just for a few drinks/watch a game at the sportsbar. Upon arriving back at our place I had no recollection of where I had been or what I had done previous of that moment for atleast 6hrs, it totally freaked me out, both my girlfriend and friend thought I was joking, not to seem crazy I laughed and said of course I know. Then the questioned me, the truth was it took me a few minutes to remember where I was for hours previously. I was a total blank... I had no drinks as I was driving. I'm just wondering what I should do as it is only the first time, but seems scary as it was as if I had forgotten my name almost. I had my tonsils removed two weeks ago and was on 150mg tramadol and 5mg diazapam for a week and maybe that has a role in my fuctioning at the moment. I think the thought of not being able to process thought at that moment just made me feel very worried, I don't want anymore medication and wondering if this is normal to happen. I would ask my family/friends but I'd get the 'go see a doctor'... Then they would send me for a brain scan... Etc. Does this ever happen to anyone or is this a bad sign? I hope it's just my current sleeping patterns/medication/pain.
