So I've recently started taking prescribed meds (Zoloft) and they've done wonders to my mood. However, last night I pretty much had the equivalent of an LSD trip: I was falling asleep but then it started w me being able to hear and be conscious about my heartbeat. Eyes still closed, I began to see images and colors that swirled inwards (like those hypnotic black and white circles that spin) mostly red and black. I couldn't really see what they were since when I tried focusing on them, they just swirled away to be quickly replaced w new images. I opened my eyes and they were still there. My hands looked like they were "leaking" since they didn't really have a defined shape.. then they started glowing red like ET. I turned the lights on and it went away,, but once they were off they came back. I was kinda freaked out at first,, but by the end I just went w the flow because I didn't know what else to do.

So I just took them a few hours ago (1 per day) and fast forward to now, I felt weird like I did last night. So I went to the bathroom, closed the door, shut the lights off and 'lo and behold, I'm seeing patterns. 

So yeah.. I didn't know where to post this so hopefully you guys can help me. I'll tell my psychiatrist and psychologist about it, naturally, but for now I just need to understand what's happening and why. Thanks for your help!

Started taking Zoloft, had an LSD-like trip a few hours ago, and now I'm seeing patterns in my hand and floor.
