Ive recently been experiencing crazy, random thoughts and weird visions only whenI lay ddown to go to sleep. They sre bad and scary. I have to get out of bed. Im only finding on Internet that it's caused from anxiety, depression or ocd. I do have a history of mild to moderate depression and anxiety bad in my 30s but I dont anymore and im now 49.

did you recently change any medications?
Baclofen a muscle relaxer can have those sort of effects due to withdrawals which many doctors do not realize.

Yikes! Did you change meds? Call the doctor and telling them about this. Good Luck!

Hi
Have been battling with terrible nightmares for months, finally bit the bullet and tried medical MJ, I have not had need for sleeping tablets since and the nightmares are basically gone.
Good Luck

Ask your pharmacist to check if your symptoms might be a side effect of any of your meds - or combination of meds.
(That is the pharmacists's job -- my husband is a pharmacist)
Be sure to include any over-the-counter meds and nutritional supplements.
If nothing 'pops up', check with your neuro, or primary care doc for an antidepressant or anti-anxiety med.
I'd stay away from sleeping meds - they all have a long list of negative side effects.
Good Luck.

Its a shame that your state doesn't accept medical marijuana or decriminalised it. I have found when I can take some on the rare occasion, I sleep like a baby! An anti-depressant I take also helps.
