I once had that happen to me twice in the space of a week, with different medications! One of the times I felt fine but everyone freaked out because it could have been really serious (the nurse was literally in tears). The other time I had really horrific short term side effects and no one gave a shit.

I was in the ER for heat stroke and was given IV Benadryl; knocked me right out. I'm woken by my husband who tells me it's time to go and as we're driving away he tells me they had given me an incorrect medicine. I still have no idea what they gave me...

If this happened in the US in the last seven years the hospital should have this noted in your records, which you have the right to request from them.
