Sorry this is so late. Thank you for all the replies. And this is sooo embarrassing... BUT I was not only paranoid but was also experiencing episodes of delusional dream states. Long story short, am on opiate meds for chronic pain and last summer my dr added a new one to the mix so I began cutting the old one back way too soon. What a ride that turned out to be. Not only the physical symptoms of withdrawal, but the mental instability was the hardest thing I have ever gone through. Thanks again for all the replies and thanks for being here.
