I have been diagnosed with depression and panci disorder. I am currently on effexor and xanax. Lately, I been getting these paranoid feelings like I can't trust anyone. It freaks me out even more. I always feel like I'm on the verge of losing my sanity. I didn't think that paranoid feelings are part of the package. Am I worng? I'm afraid. Is this normal?

I don't know if it is normal or not, but I get paranoid a lot too. But I think that maybe paranoia and anxiety go hand in hand...

I believe that depression makes many of us feel like we can't trust no one. I've had similar sensations as you describe.
Effexor has been working great on me. I use different meds for different levels of anxiety. Miracle happy pills aren't available yet, so I hope you're seeing a therapist too. Good Luck - :-) |

I have had paranoid feelings in stressful work situations and found myself even eavesdropping on people. It was then that my doctor put me on Risperdal. He told that was "a little strange" in his cute accent.

I suffer from anxiety and depression as well. I'm also on Effexor. I don't know if paranoia is normal, worry is though.. that's for sure.
Can you go and talk to someone about this? |

When I am severely depressed, I am as paranoid as possible without imagining voices etc. That is one of my signs I watch for. Hope this helps. Meds should help it get better as well as checking out your paranoid feelings, for example, Nancy were you upset that I just disturbed you to ask that question? And Nancy's answer has always been oh no hun it's my kids they are making me crazy or I have too much to do or... It is not always about me.

I think it is actually pretty common. I have anxiety and agoraphobic tendancies. I know I get paranoid about things. But you probably should talk to someone who knows more than me... because just cause I feel that way sure don't mean it is normal. lol (Sorry, just a joke at myself.)
Do check with your Doc or T. They should know. Take care of yourself. place
