When I stopped taking cocaine my mental state was a mess with paranoia – I was also suffering from panic attacks.  A combination of paranoia and panic attacks lead me to believe that I was going to have a heart attack or I was in the early stages of cancer.

My opinion (I am not a doctor so seek a professional for clarification) is that the cocaine has affected your mental health and you
need to seek professional help.
My advice would be:
1) Stop using the internet to source medical conditions as this makes your paranoia worse- I did the same and it really does not help
2) Go back to your doctor and ask to see a shrink as they can help you deal with your mental issues. I saw a shrink and it’s a massive help to speak to someone that can help you understand what is happening to your mind.
3) Get checked out my a doctor for physical health
4) Try CA or NA  

I know from experience how horrible it is to constantly feel like you are seriously ill and it was probably the worst experience in my life – I was unable to sleep and worried 24/7.
I have been clean just over 8 months and believe me when I say that your physical and mental health does slowly improve.

Hi,

I don't understand the poll or how you want us to vote so I skipped that part.

Trying to diagnose something such as this on the internet will prove fruitless and I think it is dangerous. All you will get is people's opinions. You need to see a doctor and find out what is going on for certain.

I wish you the best and hope you find the answers.
