Check with : Prescribing physician. Did you miss a dose? Missing can lead to seizures, do you feel it may have been a seizure? Any witnesses to it who could describe it to you more? The other possibility is if you are having kidney issues, dose may be too high or blood pressure is being affected. Either way, i would recommend seeing the prescribing doc for vitals and possible blood work to check kidneys.
