Hi, I've been using ecstasy regularly for almost two years now and this month I've experienced two cases of drug-induced paranoia which I've never encountered before.
In both cases I was at a familiar club or venue, had nothing other than pills and had not been up for days.
In my paranoid mode I constantly thought people in the club were staring and talking about me. I would tell myself that it was all in the mind but every time I looked around there would be people staring and talking, like they were talking about me. I also get an uneasy feeling of tension in the air, like groups of people were plotting something and something big like a brawl was about to break out.
Like I said before this only started happening recently after two years of use so I'm a bit worried about these paranoia symptoms and my mental state. I know paranoia with speed and ice is pretty common but I don't think I've heard of people suffering paranoia from pills before.
* If I took longer breaks between pills will it reduce or eliminate the paranoia symptoms (ie. reducing the amount and frequency of use)?
* I used to take 5-HTP regularly (post-loading) to assist in the replenishment of serotonin but stopped taking them 4-5 months ago. Could this be one of the main contributing factors for the paranoia?
* I also started dabbling with ice and marijuana a few months ago, I wasn't under the influence of these drugs when I felt paranoid (only pills) but was wondering if they somehow could be responsible for the onset when I take pills?
Thanks in advance.
