I don't think you need to be too worried at this point. You weren't totally out of touch with reality. You realized that what you were seeing wasn't right and you corrected it.
Medications can cause all sorts of weird experiences. And if you aren't sleeping well, that could add to it. *Definitely* call your doctor and tell him about it. He might want to change your meds around.
I haven't had that experience, but I've had pretty weird experiences at times. Some meds related. Some sleep related. Some both. When I was on neurontin I had my first and only episode of sleep paralysis. Scared me silly. The doctor took me off it, and that was that. Not one instance since.
Meds would be a logical "culprit". Or sleep deprivation. Or some combination of those and stress. I think it's a time for prudence, but not for panic, if that makes sense.
Not that I'm a doctor or have any special knowledge. I don't. But your pdoc should be able to give you a better idea of what's going on.
