Sleeping aid causes paranoia
Side effects of sleeping medication led to a call to the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office from a Fonner Road resident in Whitefish. A man called deputies to tell them he believed his neighbor was on drugs because the neighbor was acting paranoid, telling others in the area he and his family were being watched and photographed. The neighbor also expressed a desire to enter random sheds.
When deputies spoke with the neighbor’s wife, they discovered he had been taking medication for sleeping problems and was having a reaction to it, causing him to be paranoid about people watching him. She said they were working with their doctor to resolve the problem.
