Not often, but I’ve collapsed a few times and I stay coherent but lose my motor functions. Anyone else?

WTF? There’s no way you should have been on these in the first place, you were a normal weight for your height. What you describe is scary. I’m sorry for you that you think you needed to lose thirty pounds and still go on with this while having seizures. Please stop and see a real doctor, not a med spa.
