Hi Kate!
I think that it is important to remember that a lot of people do sleepwalk, and usually it has nothing to do with meds or even a condition. It's kind of normal. (Although I would hide your pots and pans!) But, a lot of the times it can be exacerbated by stress. So I wonder if something was really stressing you out around the time that you started doing this?

My boyfriend sleep walks and talks in his sleep when he's stressed out a lot. He does this thing where he literally jumps straight up so that he's standing on the bed. All of the sudden he goes from laying down to standing up on the bed. I have problems sleeping, so I'll be up reading, and all of the sudden he's standing there. I'll just talk him down, so to speak and he goes right back to sleep. One of my cousins, who shall not be named, used to go downstairs when she was little, pee in the closet and then go back to bed.

So try to think about the stress angle- it doesn't sound like much, but stress can do crazy things to a person! Hope this helps a bit. Or at least makes you laugh!
