Non-Treatable Paranoia?

[REL0AD]

From a young age I showed signs of paranoia but it was more like a mild shyness but now I'm older I suffer severe paranoia. I've been put on anti-psychotics recently and still I see no improvement.

I have been a registered alcoholic since the age of 15 and since then have had dry spells of 6months, 10 months and currently i've been sober for 2 and half weeks. In the tenth month dry spell I dabbled in meth, E, whizz etc.

My question is, could my abuse of alcohol cause my paranoia to worsen and is it possible that it won't be treatable and can it only get worse.

When I'm under the influence of amphetamine I often zone off into what I call a paralell world where everything and everyone around me, I find something to 'double' think about, could this be signs of what I have to look foward to or say I stay clear of alcohol and drugs for good, should my condition lessen and gradually get better?

I can only blame the alcohol for my paranoia because I haven't been hardcore into drugs in my opinion. But fuck me, I love drink and in the day I could drink the hardest of drinkers under the table, not something to brag about but you get my point I hope.

Any feedback would be appreciated, if you don't understand the above I'll fix it when I'm not speedin' ma tits off (had three bombs).

Again, many thanks...

I was fairly paranoid when I was younger. I grew out of it though. It also had something to do with giving up the weed (and maybe changing a few friends).

Paranoia is a (slightly rare) symptom of drug use though, and possibly drug interaction (anti-psychotics + most things, really). If you need the anti-psychotics, it's probably better to give up everything else.

Alchohol and drugs probably counteract the effectiveness of the anti-psychotics. If you quit both, you'd probably see better signs of improvement. It sounds as though you have an addictive behavior personality, which should be looked as well.

Thanks lads.

Yeah, my doctor said this. Cheers mate.

We all have problems, eh? I know I do. Cheers!

Not being able to drink (antabuse tablets) drives me to drugs but I've decided to stay clear of uppers as of today. Had for blueys (10mg valium) on Sunday and they sorted my comedown out and oh how I love the valium running in my veins.

That's the ones... :joint:

Those lil jail bait pills hah hah!

I don't have the supply I need so I tend to keep mine for when I need them (comedowns), but a few of the buddies who take them frequently don't rate the D-10s much at all. Compared to Xanax or Ativan anyway. Or those Clonazipam that knocked the shit out of me right after I first signed up. I don't remember any of the posts I made in the first few days here. I'm a lightweight and I took 4 in the space of three hours, which was much too much.
