That's the same sensation I get, too - like I'm not fully in touch with reality or my own body. However, I can get it from much more mild stimuli: a couple of weeks ago I was in a room with really narrow blinds; when I stood up from my chair, the sunlight streaming between the blinds created a kind of natural strobe effect. Wasn't fun, but was mercifully short-lived.
It's strange that the episode made it through animation and post-production without anyone realising the effect it'd have on people. Sure it only gave seizures to 800 out of umpteen million viewers, but even if none of the production crew got seizures, surely one or two would've been made giddy or unsettled by it.
