It was an hour later, I have no memory of that hour and how I got to this building which is 20 city blocks from my place. I am being treated for bronchitis, z-pak, I also took a zanax at 2PM. This is the first time its happened and it scares me. What can cause this

Hey, I have reviewed your query, and I would like to tell you that Xanax can cause blackouts like this.

You should stop using xanax and consult doctor who have advised you that or take it at bedtime.

If it happens again, you need complete workup including mri brain.

Get well soon.
