"Night terrors are rare in adults, yet Papolos and Papolos cited a 1999 study by Dr. Maurice Ohayon which found that bipolar disorders and depression with anxiety were the most common factors associated with adults who reported night terrors."

If you don't think it was a night terror, has anyone else seen you have one of these "spells"? Maybe someone else could describe it from the "outside" so it makes sense to a doctor or something? The symptoms you describe though, the "non-sense" and difficulties sound like night terrors to me.

"In both adults and children, night terrors may be caused by unresolved psychological conflicts, traumatic events or fatigue. In children, traumas such as the loss of a favorite toy, overhearing a loud argument between parents, watching scenes of violence on television or listening to frightening stories could trigger a night terror.

"Particularly among adults, prescription drugs such as antihistamines, decongestants, levodopa, reserpine, beta blockers, and antidepressants, as well as withdrawal from addictive drugs, all can provoke sleep disturbance."

Any changes in your meds or anything right before the events happened?
