They make me relax and they get rid of the visuals as long as keep under my lip. I try not to do it that often though, considering it's not very lady like and gum/mouth cancer sounds like a bitch.

Oh dang, do you know what he takes? I knew this guy who use to deal acid and for some reason he was running from the cops so he decided to stick the whole blotter paper in his sock, what a smart move right? He ended up absorbing all 100+ hits at once through his sweaty open pores in his foot. I haven't spoken to him since, but I see him every now and then wearing neon while dancing with huge head phones in that are plugged into an A track. Personally, I still think he is tripping balls.

Keep us informed!

Do any of you guys ride the bus or see ex psycho naughts ? Well, if you do/have, do you think the crazies who sit in the back of the talking to themselves, making noises, faces or whatever have severe HPPD or have typical psychosis? Or maybe one or the other?

Yea, it has. I feel emotions again and my brain feels almost as if it's refreshed. I'm also dreaming like my old self again, my speech issues are gone and my memory is becoming stronger day by day. It's nice to be able to read a chapter in a text book and remember it clearly, instead of re reading it ten times and only retaining the general concept.

Dang I'll keep that in mind, thanks! What symptoms do you have now?

Np, I actually answered it a couple of weeks ago when you asked it on my other thread, you must not have seen my reply. As of right now the DP is gone but the DR is still kind of there, but I think I might have DR for the rest of my life from having quite a few strong trips.

In one weeks increase your dose to 500mgs and 250 at night, wait another week then go up to 500mg and 500mg at night and If you're feeling up to it take 1000mg in the am and 500mg in the PM the following week. That's the dosage the study suggest and that's what I'm on.

The rage went away a couple of days ago for me, but before that the tiniest thing take me off. You should try waiting it out.

As of right now, I'm taking 1000mgs right as I wake up then 500mgs right before bed. Good luck, hope the meds work out for ya.

This thread really got blown up, wasn't expecting this at all when I made it. God, Keppra is doing it's job wonderfully, but it's making me want to return back to my old "ways." Every night I have dreams about smoking weed with my old buddies and mannn it's really making me miss hitting the pipe. I was a hardcore stonner before HPPD.

Yeah same here! I was talking to a friend about HPPD yesterday and she was like "wait, what? So it's not normal to see static in pitch black rooms? Am I going to go nuts?" Haha she got so concerned for a bit.

Happy Friday to you too! btw

Yeah, I'm bi poloar too, it got past down to me by my father. The keppra actually helps with that though, as it is also used as a mood stabilizer, as well. Do the other meds you're taking besides the k'pins make your hppd worse, or can you not tell because the K'pins block out their side effects?

Oh god, I felt the same way. It got so bad that I actually moved away from my old neighborhood.

I know what you mean, my family is so happy to have the old me back. Have you thought about trying Keppra, at all?

Yep, indeed I did. That's main thing keppra has gotten rid of, actually. At first it was helping with the visuals, a lot, but then in seemed to get rid of my dp/dr, completely. Now I'm dp/dr free, but the only residual part of my HPPD is the VS, but I can get that to clear up by taking some benzos. It doesn't really bother me that much though, at least I have most of my old brain back. It's really nice not to have brain fog anymore, but damn, since the fog has been lifted it's kinda hard not to get overwhelmed at times.

I think it may be a mix of both, when I exercise my HPPD is almost non-existent for at least of couple of hours, but then it comes back, as fucking always.

That is just crazy, when my hppd was really bad I'd eat anything in plain sight. At least I'm not a picky eater anymore.

oh my gosh, that iss the best thing I've seen in awhile.

Let's say one day you feel like you have over come your HPPD, what type of symbolic tattoo or quotes would you get?
