No. No medication, no other substances.
That paranoia was pretty much delusional. Luckily it was very transient, though. All my delusions were transient. What is non-delusional paranoia?

Broad psychotic symptoms are generally associated with BPD. Hallucinations are quite common even in the general population. Being tired and stressed can definitely cause them. Hearing one's name being called, seeing dead people, ghosts and things in the corner of one's eye are some examples of these types of hallucinations. If these happen from time to time and are not interfering with your life they aren't really worth reporting to a psychiatrist. A lot of psychiatrists will not take them seriously unless other symptoms are present that suggest schizophrenia.

I was not actually hallucinating much. I had more issues with my way of thinking and that distorting reality and also with the transient delusions. I was fully non-functional due to my loss of connection with reality.

Olfactory hallucinations suggest epilepsy.

Not really as I never had epilepsy. I just sometimes hallucinated strong smells that surely didn't exist is all. It was pretty sporadic though.
