> I am sorry for not telling my whole story. I think an acid trip led to my paranoia. It was a stupid decision I made but I was on Paxil at the time which made me extremely BOLD ( was taking it for social anxiety-it's weird because when I try ssri's now they increase my anxiety/paranoia). It's been a long time since I took the acid (6 months). I never touched that or any weed in a long time and I'm never touching them again in my life. I think this is the cause of my paranoia because the only other drugs I touched was Paxil and some dope.
> I see my psych tomorrow.

Hmmm... I've experienced mild drug paranoia, smoking too much weed. I thought cars driving past me from behind were going to run me over. If I didn't watch them, my fear would rise with the engine noise to an almost unbearable level. But it didn't really occur to me that it was paranoia until it had gone, after I gave up weed for a few weeks. I just thought I was feeling a little anxious. IMO if you think you're paranoid, you probably aren't. If you know your thoughts are paranoid, then you can challenge them, like normal anxiety.

BTW, I smoke the dope again now with no paranoid ideas at all...that I've noticed...
