    Hence why I mentioned medical issues in my second post that seems to have gained no traction. Certain brain injuries can also lead to feelings of paranoia leading to a belief you've been targeted like @snowwy seems to believe.

    Failing any signs of being drugged...I'd go with what the two above me said.

    Visit the doc, run tests, go from there.

    Sirscrapntruckalot - Webmd doesn't count as a doc visit. ;)

    Sounds like a blackout, could be from a seizure or convulsion, no telling, lots of causes for blackouts. Chances are you drove home, but don’t remember. See a Neurologist for sure.

    Exactly right. I'm not a doctor but I was married to one for over fifty years. One thing she always said was that when mysterious symptoms appear and when they present themselves suddenly there's an excellent chance that they're going to happen again. When they do there's almost always an escalation in severity.
    Why screw around with something you don't understand and can't fix anyway? Get it checked out.

    I can understand the whole brain thing.

    But that don't answer the question.
    How did I get home?

    My first instinct tells me it's going to be medical. Undiagnosed seizure disorder maybe. Symptoms could also describe carbon monoxide poisoning.

    If it was drugging, GHB would be the common culprit. If it was scopolamine you wouldn't remember anything.

    You could have been driving just fine and then experienced sudden memory loss.

    In 2000 My wifes grand mother was 92 and still driving. She would go somewhere like to our place or her sisters place or my father in laws place. She would leave totally fine and get home. But then She started to call my father in law everyday and tell him she didn’t remember how she got home. She only remembered being where she was before she got home but nothing in between. Never even remembered being in the car. My wife rode with her one day to see what was up. She was basically on auto pilot like sleep walking while driving. It was scary! The doctors diagnosed that she many mini strokes that she did not feel that triggered dementia. She never drove again and passed at 98 not knowing a soul around her. That was sad.
    @snowwy get checked man. Don’t ignore it. If you got home with no memory of it and nobody has stepped forward to say they brought you home you may be having nuerological issues.
    I hope not but don’t dismiss it.
