I call them "gaps". It feels like sinking, everything becomes quiet even noise, like it belongs elsewhere. Can't understand when someone talks to me and can't speak. Lose sense of direction and have fallen over so I hold onto something or sit and wait it out. I can't control it nor stop it. Sometimes I get a warning just before, I see blobs of shapes or my face starts tingeling.
First time this happened while I was driving, several city blocks later I wondered who was driving the car, freaked out when I realized there was only me. I was not taking any medications at this time. I avoided driving for a long time.
I believe these gaps are complex partial seizures. Some of them are very visually intense, I no longer try to fight it, I can't stop them. I get several every day, more since taking stimulants.
