Drug Psychosis Horror Stories: What are some real - life examples?

Often, the first step is to stop using the drug. Then, medical treatment may be required. Antipsychotic medications can be prescribed to help manage symptoms like hallucinations and paranoia. For example, drugs like risperidone can be effective.

Well, there are cases where people taking certain psychiatric drugs had hallucinations as side effects. For instance, a patient was given a new type of mood - stabilizer. Instead of getting better, they started seeing shadowy figures in the corners of their rooms at night. It was terrifying for them. Also, some drugs can cause extreme mood swings. A person on a particular drug for anxiety went from being relatively calm to having sudden outbursts of anger that they couldn't control, scaring their family and friends.

I knew someone who tried LSD. His experience was a nightmare. He started having a 'bad trip' where he felt like he was falling into an endless void. He couldn't distinguish between what was real and what was the drug - induced hallucination. His heart was racing uncontrollably, and he was sweating profusely. He thought he was going to die. It took him a long time to recover both physically and mentally from that one LSD use.

One well - known case is the Pablo Escobar story. He was a major drug lord in Colombia. His Medellín Cartel smuggled huge amounts of cocaine into the United States. He built his own private army and used various methods like hiding drugs in false compartments of vehicles, boats, and even small airplanes. His actions led to a great deal of violence and corruption in Colombia and had a major impact on the international drug trade situation at that time.

One common theme is paranoia. Many people with psychosis often feel that they are being watched, followed or plotted against. For instance, they might think that the government is spying on them through their phones.

One story could be about a high school student who started dealing drugs to fit in with a 'cool' crowd. He got involved with an older dealer who supplied him with small amounts of marijuana at first. Eventually, he was caught when a classmate tipped off the school authorities after seeing him exchange drugs for money in the school bathroom.

Yes, there are. For example, in some big cities, there have been reports of drug - addicted men being lured into prostitution by criminal gangs. These gangs use their drug addictions against them, making them do whatever they ask. The men often end up with serious health problems and no way out of this horrible situation.

One postpartum psychosis horror story is about a woman who started seeing hallucinations of demons trying to harm her baby. She became extremely paranoid and locked herself and the baby in a room. It was a terrifying situation as her family had to break in to save them.

One horror story is about a person on meth who started seeing shadowy figures that weren't there. He was constantly paranoid, thinking these 'creatures' were out to get him. He barricaded himself in his room, but the hallucinations got worse. Eventually, he ended up hurting himself trying to fight off the non - existent threats.

One sad drug abuse story is about a young man who started using cocaine. He was a promising student but as his addiction grew, he lost his focus on studies. He dropped out of college and stole money from his family to buy drugs. Eventually, he got into trouble with the law and ended up in jail. His whole future was ruined just because of that drug.
