weird thoughts from bladder infection?

Ok, I have a weird question. I got a bladder infection about 4 weeks ago. It got bad real quick, I was peeing blood in a matter of a day. By the next day, I was having sharp back pains, I am assuming it went into my kidneys at that point. The doctor ran a urine test and said it was really bad, some levels of something were really high. I was put on Septra for 7 days. I felt much much better. Well, a week after I stopped the antibiotic, I started feeling just weird. Sorta flu like symptoms, hot/cold, muscle and joint pain, exhaustion, insomnia, etc. But nothing worth mentioning, I just thought I was recovering from being so sick or maybe just feeling a bit run down, I have a 4 month old, so life gets tiring sometimes. Plus I am not having any bladder problems, it feels fine "down there" So anyway, the other weird thing is that I am having just really weird thoughts. I can't describe them any other way but weird thoughts. I can say that at it's worst, I feel like I smoked some marijuana and I am having a bad trip. I just feel out of touch with myself and my surroundings. I then start getting anxious and paranoid...like, um, what is going on with me! It's like my eyes are start to get out of focus or things just look weird. So I will call the doctor for sure, I just don't want her to think I am insane and call the white jackets on me, so I wanted some feedback here first. Can it be the bacteria still in my system causing me to have weird thoughts and feelings? Can it be a leftover side effect from the antibiotics? What the hell? I remember somehting sorta like this happening a few years ago to me, but it was while I was on the antibiotic and so they just switched antibiotics for me.
