Had Seizure While Driving. Normal Test Results. Does Overdosing Of Xanax, Hydrocone Cause Any Side Effects?

On July 20, I had a seizure while driving (no one was hurt, thank God) I was taken by ambulance to the hospital where I had several Tests: cat scan, eeg, ekg, urinanology, blood drawn. All tests came back normal. I believe I had the seizure due to overdosing on Xanax and hydrocone. Now I find myself calling friends and telling them about my Father's Death (8/4/13), and they're all telling me I already called them. Is this a side effect of the seizure, and if so, how long does it last. Or am I getting Alzheimers? It's pretty scary--my brain seems to be "out of wack".

Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
The cause of seizure and forgetfulness needs to be identified. On this front, MRI scan of more valuable than that of CT scan.
Overdosing of xanax is unlikely to be the cause.
Please consult a neurologist for evaluation and treatment.

Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
