My son developed paranoia about his intrusive thoughts. The Zoloft helped decrease the intrusive thoughts tremendously, but the paranoia remained out of habit. He started a low dose antipsychotic a few day ago. The intrusive thoughts are gone. The paranoia is subsiding.
Stick with it. Keep talking to your doctor about options. From seeing my son suffer, I know it's hell to go through, but I do know there is hope. Good luck to you.
