IMO, it won't help with paranoia. More for seretonin, norepinephrine up taking. Talk with your Dr about paranoia.
This is true... I think with the parnoia, you would be better on a low dose benzo(like someone said about the xanax... though xanax would probably not be the best for that..) 2mg diazepam would probably be best for that, it is the least likely of the benzos to lead to any type of 'depression', and also the least likely to aggravate any other issues... it's a low enough dose you will get past any sleepiness issues within a week(if they cause it at all)... stay away from lorazepam(this seems to be the one they like to prescribe most often in the way of benzos), it can cause psychotic episodes in many users.... the diazepam(valium) tends to relax your mind to the point that you shouldn't have any issues with paranoia(many times it is the mind constantly in overdrive, that leads to these type of thoughts and 'feelings')... clonipin, as hypo stated, will also work for paranoia issues, but I just think valium is a much better med with next to no side effects(as long as it is not abused), and the low dose(2mg) will help keep from building too much tolerance, and/ or withdrawals if you miss a dose or anything like that... it also acts as a mild, long acting muscle relaxer, so if you time the dosing post workout, or at bedtime, it can actually help with muscle recovery and also from any spasms(that is the reason I am prescribed it... I have massive spasms while sleeping, and it has a long enough active live it will get me through a 24 hour period with very little in the way of spasms... yet it doesn't lead to muscle weakness or anything like that, while training)..
I think the combo of the wellbutrin for the majority of issues, and the added valium(at a low dose) will really help take care of everything and the side effect profile of them is much better than nearly anything else they could prescribe.... dr's try to stay away from benzos(due to their high level of abuse by MANY people..) but valium, at that dose, doesn't really have too much abuse potential.. and it will really help you with the anxiety and paranoia(which in many cases, go hand in hand)... talk to your dr, and see what you can do.. then let us know how it works... if you have any concerns at that point, some of us could probably help lead you in the right direction... The wellbutrin does take a week or so to really start seeing it's full effect, but I think it is one of the few meds that REALLY work for bipolar and many other related issues, without having shittons of horrible sides.. it's not an ssri, and it doesn't really have ANY of the sides linked to ssri's(which, for the most part, are REALLY fucked up sides!!!) you definitely will not experience the fat gain off of wellbutrin(it is a modified amphetamine.. that sounds bad, but it is modified as such that you don't get any of the amphetamine sides, other than the lack of fat gain.... it truly is a novel medication that has helped MANY people, where ssri's have really fucked them up!!! ) It has made my mom a tolerable person to be around! she was so fucked up, mentally, for most of her life that you couldn't stand to be around her(AT ALL!!!), and now she is really pleasant to be around, and doesn't have the bipolar moodswings, or the fucked up mental issues that plagued her her whole life(and made her go through 6 husbands in a matter of 10-12 years... most of which were poor choices, due to her fucked up mental state!!!)
anyway, hope this helps bro! I am a true believer in those two meds(both of which I have taken(though for different reasons.. they have still helped me for the reasons you need them also... I have some major anxiety issues..and have had some of the same type paranoia issues in the past, though not to the same degree...).. and the wellbutrin really makes you feel better(all around)... and I think after a week or two taking it, you will really begin to notice a major change!
