I have problems with drifting away from time to time. I miss hours sometimes practicalt days of my life. I "run away" from everything, everyone, and every experience. If someone says somethind atleast three times if freaks me out. I'm scary paranoid. Worst of all, I don't know whats real or fake anymore.

Yes, but follow up with psychotherapy, because we also have to work out the surrounding issues. The meds definitely help though. Being paranoid is painful dude! Been there! Good luck to you.

First you need to talk to a professional therapist to see what would be a best fit for you. It is possible that you may just need talk therapy but meds are always an option and there are so many available without the side effects of the old class of meds. Believe me, life is so much better when you feel you are not "faking it" anymore.

If you have come to the point where you recognize your problems, then now is the time to seek help. Medications can help significantly. My husband is Bipolar and when he is in the middle of a manic episode is frighteningly paranoid and delusional. (This is when he has been unmedicated). Don't be afraid to keep trying if one medication does not help. There are hundreds of them and each person's chemistry will react in it's own way. Took my husband 10 different meds before he found one that works. Please don't wait till you are in the denial stage. You can best help yourself when you can be honest with your doctor.
Take care.
