cocaine causing paranoia?

Ok serious if I don't find out the truth about being paranoid or is it really going on I'll die and that's for real. If its paranoia I want to confirm it and if it's real I also want to confirm it. This trip I'm on is seamingly real that it's now driving me to an early grave. I dont want to hear that it's just me being paranoid with out real facts. I understand the drug gets you paranoid but now what sucks is that I can't define the difference of what's fact and what's fiction. I need some real intell on this fast before I go crazy or worse.

I can relate to what your going through as I get thesame paranoia. Feel like giving up work, hardly go anyway, most of the time I dont even want coke as I know I feel better without it but I cant stop! Went to rehab a year ago and was clean over 3 months but fell back into it slowly but surely, convincing myself I can handle it. Like you I would rather die than have this life and I know if I just stop and get away from the so called friends I have that are all hooked then life would be great, it was once! I cant stop and it will kill me and it hurts as I know I am better than this. No I doubt your girlfriend is cheating so yes its paranoia but the coke is cunning and makes you start to doubt its down to drugs!! It is beleive me so get help while you can as its too late for me now!

slow down on the cocaine, i do it often, but have no experienced paranoia to level that scare me, maybe a touch paranoid when i do it, soi lock my doors and close my blinds so noone sees, and dont talk to neighnours etc because i seem obvious, my cousin died 2 days ago, he has a small heart condition and i think sometimes used steroids in the past, he did coke 2 days ago, cam home paranoid like crazy, thought someone was follwing him, ran around like crazy, then fell, went blue, and he died. he was 25! it is not a joke.

If cocaine was legal, would you or I still have the paranoia ... I wonder?

Glad I'm not the only who gets really paranoid when using blow. Most people that use it on get little paranoid while others like myself and some members here get really paranoid. I remember times when I could hear the police outside my apartment, two floors down climbing a ladder to my window to get me, or once I thought my ex gf who still hand keys to my place had hired someone to kill me. But mostly when I get paranoid it's almost always that the neighbors can smell it have called the police or stuck into my condo to catch me doing. I found myself motionless in the bathroom once because i could actually hear people outside the bathroom door just waiting for me to come out or do another hit so they can catch me. But I recently got over a large chunk of my paranoia, I just used common sense and it went away. I realizd that people don't and will never break into peoples homes to spy on them and the police cant enter your home, basically it dawned on me that's it's all in head. I was feeling paranoid again tonight until I read this forum. Once you can beat the paranoia it makes everything 10 times more enjoyable

Having just randomnly searched for parannoia associated with coke abuse this was the first page I hit. I had heard it would lead to paranoia but I am amazed at the people who have posted the exact same problems

My friends use has gradually increased over 3 years. But for the last 2 months without fail he has had the issue whilst high with assuming people breaking in the house, the police outside etc etc. Last night he had 1.5g, he spent 8 hours moving from looking out the front window to running and checking the back door. Then is someone upstairs?  repeated the cycle.

I know this sounds madness and indeed is but as I've said other posts are similar. he don't enjoy it anymore and strangely I feel this will make him stop taking coke (hopefully). I'd like to thank the other posters for their honesty and openess, I feel better knowing its happened to others, I know that sounds strange and of course would not wish it on anyone.

So hopefully this is it for coke, the end. For all those reading take note and believe me I'm no killjoy moralist who hasn't lived. But it will get out of hand, cliche though it is and I always thought it was BS from the recovery bores

Anyone any thoughts on why it is people breaking in and then police breaking in. by the way it now happens the instant ingest begins

 

because they feel guilty and afraid

I too, searched cocaine paranoya, and this was the first threat i came to. I decided to search, as recently over the past few months, ive found myself not enjoying it like i used to, i used to be able to talk alot, and not be paranoid as to who was looking at me or listening to me.

I find myself looking out of the windows, thinking the police are watching me and are going to knock on my door and arrest me. When living in a shared house i would do a couple of grams, and get to the point where i thought that people were walking up the stairs and standing outside my door, with their ear against the door listining to me, or i would think there was someone in the room next to me, with a glass with their ear up against it, trying to listen to everything! Sounds crazy i know, but thats how i would feel and i would try to convince myself that it wasn't real, but i couldn't, and therefor i couldnt enjoy myself. At times i would make a line and just be sat there for about an hour, ready to do it, but i couldnt sniff it because i thought that they would hear me do it!

I would also be on the laptop, with built in webcam thinking someone is watching me though it!

I personaly think that it may be cut with something now, that gives the paranoid effects? Either that or its the fact we've cained the hell out of thestuff!

Soooo glad I don't take it anymore. Deleted all my numbers and fb friends, and 'friends' who I used to get high with. I'm 33 years of age, was healthy before my heavy 10 month binge (sometimes 5 grams in 1 night) and spent ove £10,000 on the sh*t. It had left me with a damaged nose and angina where I have to take antenolol

the paranoia is bad enough without the zombie c**p.

Yes indeed , paranoia is one of the high outcomes you will experience with cocaine use . The more you use this highly addictive substance the worse everything will become around you ,its certainly not the way you should deal with stress .join the gym or form a hobby of interest to you thats not as destructive as the outcomes of using cocaine.You stated you had a panic for no apparent reason you didnt state what the panic was focused on ! A close family member of mine is addicted to cocaine and he always reflected as though it was no big deal taking it ,he also said he started to help him deal with his stress. Cocaine in time only made it worse,his parnoia was he thuogh some one was trying to break into his marital home ,he wouldnt sleep all night due to the fact that he was up passing the floors,looking out the windows holding a knife in his hands and the family pitbull next to him ,he had stashed knifes everywhere in the house in preparing for an intruder eventually he claimed to hear noises outside and see figures.You can come to understand that at this point he clearly was not relaxed and free from stress.My sister his Wife and 2 kids have now moved out as all this got just to much to deal with.The outcomes are never good for anyone who uses this kind of substance money eventually is a magor issue as it is expensive does not matter how much you make it will affect everthing in your life work family loved ones and your job with negative out comes . Nial be smart stay clear of the c**p once paranoia startes to hit this is saying you are forming an addiction to it or have one already ,just stop taking it or get professional help to do so dont go down that path in your life its all in your hands and you are in control not the cocaine ,I really hope this can help you with what you do in your future as life is short enough as it is .people who start taking this kind of stuff risk so much its certainly not worth the money and not worth the massive stress it will give you for a short feel good moment !

I hate that this has happened me to. Ive been clean over a year,but there was a time when my BF and I did a bunch of coke, everything was awesome, sex especially... But one night, a paranoia switch went off in my head... it was atrocious!!!! I began digging holess in the wall thinking he was hiding more coke, I acused my husband of having a man lover, ....i called my step dad at 3am accused him of wanting to f**k my bf!!!! Almost two years have passed... We dont do coke anymore at all, and now my paranoia lingers,... Now my BF is dealing with a broken girl.. I used to trust, now im so scared all the time... I used to be fun, I used to be able to do any drug and be the heart of the party,.. Not anymore. Now im a paranoid mess, now my bf and I fight everyday because I am so paranoid that he will leave me because of my paranoia.. We live a block away from his job, but so do my old srug dealers, so I am now thinking he is doing coke behind my back!!! I feel ao sorry for my BF... He thinks im suffering from post pardum psychosis because I did give birth to his son 5 months ago....but he loves me even tho I have a bad episode atleast once a day. I refuse to make him take a polygraph or drug test because im afraid!!! Ignorance is bliss right??? What if all my paranois thoughts were not paeanoid thoughts? What if I was really onto him? It IS possible that im right ans he has bwen lying this whole time, right???... OMG WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!!! See what im talking about? , ...but I know im dead wrong. Save yourself, stay far away from coke. People cut it up w. Bath salts, meth and other junk. ... Its not pure clean these days. Not unless your in south america... IT WILL ADVENTUALLY MAKE U SICK AND PARANOID. I LOVE MY BOYFRIEND FOR UNDERSTANDING ANd PUTTING UP WITH MY BROKEN MIND. THANK U BABY.... I DONT KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS, IM SO SORRY... I WISH WE NEVER DID COKE, I WISH I WAS THE SAME GIRL YOU MET ALOMG TIME AGO....

I have quick coke. Had been doing it for 7 years, progressively using more and more more frequently. Lost money, friends, and health.
The paranoia is something that CANNOT be reversed. It's causes by a chemical imbalance in the brain caused by excessive cocaine use.
My paranoia became so bad I would spend 8 hours in the bathroom takes taking it because I did not want to be next my ground floor window, convinced that someone was outside and about to bang on it! I would also believe I could hear my neighbors talking, as well as other auditory hallucinations. I would sit it the same position for hours on end afraid to move in case I missed a noise.
No matter what quality of coke I bought or amount I did the symptoms were the same every single time! Yet like a fool I went back for more and convinced myself it would be ok the next time
Please please stay away from this evil substance! It will take everything away from you. It will mess with your head and take all of your money.

Its not!!!!!! its the fact 95% of coke you buy now adays is mixed with ephedrine and caffein with causes this paranoia!!! honestly, go to south america and get their sh*t, before its cut 20 times through different idiots who dont know what theyre doing, it should be cut with a neutral, not ephedrin which causes increased heart rate etc, i learnt the hard way, the past couple of years i thought it was me, the fact ive done too much over the years but its really not, i tested stuff from 8 different dealers and all came back 0% coke, just ephedrin caffein and benzocaine!!!!! just save your money until you go to a country where u know its near pure. trust me, its the sh*t thats in it causing adverse effects!!!!

No judgment here, just concern. Cocaine use in any form will age you more quickly, cause brain damage, and change your personality into something you don't want. You've been using for a long time. Please get some help before something really bad happens. Peace.
