I have also noticed a similar sensation (SSRI (Lexapro in my case) and LSD). It's most noticable when increasing the dosage.
This summer, I tapered off of Lexapro and then restarted it. During the ramp-up, I would get a verrry trippy feeling in the mornings after taking the Lex. I would compare that feeling to that first hour after taking LSD (I've probably done LSD 60-70 times). Just a very hightened sense of awareness, saturated colors, mildly hypomanic.
I loved LSD back in the day (college in the mid-80s). I was very depressed when I was in college and drank heavily and smoked a ton of pot. LSD was the only thing that would give me some temporary relief from the depression - not during the trip, but the three or four days afterward when I would feel so mentally "clean". I used to call LSD "mental floss".
