paranoia
-
Hello, I need help when I'm in public, I'm often paranoid, especially around women. can maxxing coffee be a disturbing factor? since I started pregnenolone, this paranoia has lessened but persists.
-
@ofo if your liver function is bad and you are consuming the coffee without sugar and milk it may make you anxious. I believe @haidut has mentioned that caffeine tolerance was once used way back when as a good measure of if you were hypothyroid and had poor liver function, mainly because the two are very interconnected.
-
@Dakota Is hypothyroidism linked to cold weather?
-
@ofo I think it's harder to stay warm.
-
@ofo might also be just anxiety, pregnenolone can have a positive impact on mood, anxiety and even memory
-
When I say paranoia, I mean the feeling that everyone's eyes are on me when I know they're not, it's really weird.
-
@of For me it was awhile until I was responding positively to caffeine so you might need to wait and focus on thyroid/liver function.

Report:
It's been more than a year and nothing peaty really helped apart from topical "high" dose progesterone. I think I have a dystonia so I had to rob a few alcoholics and pharmacies to get access to clonazepam and diazepam (valium) which are the only things really working, l-theanine doesn't work and neither does taurine. A large dose of lsd (150mcg) may have alleviated the effects temporarily, but otherwise antihistamines (DPH and cyproheptadine) are equally ineffective, the even makes my dystonia worse.
Magnesium biglycinate and magnesium oxide also had insignificant effects.
Lisuride (250mcg) was able to help me find a euphoric effect without really alleviating the problem.
I took thyroid during the month of May, September-October and January.
With all the information you have at your disposal, is there anyone who can help me? -
The title you use for the post is "paranoia" which is a false reality. This is good because it shows that you are aware of the situation.
It's important that you hold in your mind this awareness that you are operating within a false reality as you consider solutions to address the issue.
You could have an underlying disease which causes you to exist outside reality but this is probably not the case because the chemicals didn't have to effect of resolving the issue even though strong sedatives tone things down. (of course health issues can compound the problem)
Things can get better because even though you may feel as though you have tried everything, you have not.
Good luck

@of Hello, based on your original post, the origins of this paranoia may be more psychological than biological. Try exposure therapy by going out and cold approaching women or at least try to talk to women in your life, since they seem to be the main concern of your paranoia. Good luck!
-
@caudillofranco Talking to women is not a concern the concern is that I have a dystonia.
-
@herenow I'm not paranoid anymore the main issue is my fucking dystonia.

@herenow I'm not paranoid anymore the main issue is my fucking dystonia.
"Acute dystonia induced by drug treatment can be caused by antipsychotic, antiemetic, and antidepressant drugs"
-
@herenow So the only substance that I took from these types are cyproheptadine and diphenhydramine.
Cyproheptadine is know to be dirty pharmacology-wise, but the pathway leading to dystonia is large. This drug has anticholinergic and antidopaminergic properties, which can disrupt the balance of neurotransmitters involved in motor control and aggravate dystonic symptoms. My goal is to offset the use of benzodiazepines and muscle relaxants (baclofen) to treat my dystonia, in a peaty way.
So I need to balance my neurotransmitters without screwing them in the long run. -

@of You've increased the number of variables in your life massively by using so many chemicals.
There could be an interaction between the drugs where they wouldn't cause this on their own.
Drug withdrawal can also cause dystonia.
I doubt it's permanent.
-
@herenow By the way if you really interested in helping me, during summer I literally took nothing and was on vacation so changed my environment and dystonia didn't disappeared but faded. But last October I was also on vacation but dystonia persisted.
-
@of Nobody here can give you accurate answers. Your body is managing billions of variables and there's no way to know if your going in the right or wrong direction but lifestyle changes are not likely to make a dent.
If you panic and throw a bunch of new drugs at the problem you'll end up with new issues. Most likely the problem will just go away but you have to stop taking something or lower the dose.

For anyone who's sees this:
No pill or lifestyle change will fix destructive thought pasterns. I've seen this myth destroy many lives.
People with the most to gain will avoid therapy the hardest.

@herenow "No pill or lifestyle change will fix destructive thought pasterns."
depends
