It's even possible that he himself is no longer a person who would have done those things, after taking the amnesia potion. He doesn't have the predilections of his memories, only his force of personality carrying him on. When he re-discovers everything that reduced him to paralysis, it can no longer stop him. He's a new person now.

It's quite easy to hear the common "I'm sorry, I wasn't myself" argument when things go awry, and while in its own way it might be 'true', it begs the question how one can be sure what is to be oneself? You - or someone else - thinks that "oh I know him\her so well it can't be" when they have trouble even knowing what they themselves are capable of doing, regardless is it rational or irrational 'reasoning' when you explain what might have motivated a person to do X or Y.
