Hmm, does one also not feel pain during such event? Also what happens in your head during it? Are you conscious or it also just shuts down your brain as whole?

It depends on the dose, but yes you can be conscious with respiratory failure due to TTX. If you get a large enough dose you'll lose vascular tone and go into shock. At that point even CPR may fail to save you because what you really need is vasopressor drugs.
