Why Does Cocaine Make People So Paranoid?

[curling]

Man, this friend of mine has this girl friend that either smoke or snorts it. Alot. And when she does it she hides in the closet won't talk or anything. When she comes down she says was looking for the shadow police(she thinks cops are going to bust in.)

What causes that anyone know? Doesn't look like that much fun kinda like being in a scary movie or something.

who's paranoid, I'm not paranoid, should I be paranoid, is someone watching me, how did you know I was on coke, have you been watching me, I know your there, you can't fool me, I know what you up to, I know your watching me, I know your trying to get me, but it won't work cause I know your there.

Close the blinds so I can make a rail. Did you hear that? What? It sounded like something out side. There goes a car passing. Did it stop?

I read an article in JAMA that proposed:

Scientist believe the paranoia and hallucinations while on cocaine comes from the destruction of a place in the brain called the habenula. Longer the use of it=====Extensive damage to the habenula. The article said the habenula helps regulate dopamine and helps serotonin (involved in hallucinations) get to cells.

So, low levels of dopamine and serotonin are the villians that cause the paranoia..........the longer the use of cocaine====more damage to what regulates and releases these two (which is the habenula).....so people have more of the hallucinations and paranoid thoughts the longer they are on it.........................this is their theory.

It didn't say if the damage was reversible.

well, in a way, u are kinda hypersensitive when u are on it, so sights and sounds, especially sounds, will make u paranoid - I havent heard of anyone get as bad as u described though

most people just tend to turn their music down because they think it's too loud, may look outside windows, little things like that, but i have never seen anyone truly skitz out

Coke does make you paranoid. . . dun know why.

One time I was "partying" on strictly jayho. . . and when I was coming off and had no more I just started thinking and I looked at my palms and the veins looked more purple-blue than usual so I got all paranoid that I had a bloodclot happening and that they would have to amputate my hand. . . . needless to say I was paranoid.

Coke is gay shit. It gives no fun. I tried that stuff and it sucks, so ye dude I jsut dont understand why it makes people so paranoid.

No man, this is Dave!!


Coke never made me paranoid especially after I shoot up on heroin and huffed on some silver spray paint. LOL

Seriously, if she's like that on coke well maybe she should quit doing coke then.

It's quite simple. It makes you paranoid. The more you do it the more paranoid you get. Add to that the fact that you get busted with it and your ass is in trouble. It's not like getting popped with a J.
