As for dosage, I took two of the pills I mentioned a day for around a month I'd say. But honestly. my HPPD is very mild in comparison to other users. So I may not be the best person to be asking about this.

I take gabapentin infrequently. My pupils were very big all the time. It reduced them. Now they are normal and as a result my ghosting has been slightly reduced. Gabapen is a wonderful drug. Makes me feel a lot better on those not so good days.

Most EEG's for HPPD patients come up spotless. I hear of one or two guys every now and then having abnormalities.

A while back a few people, myself included, tried some via pills. They didnt seem to do much. I tried these . . . https://www.google.com/shopping/product/11590056801136858890?q=Lions+Mane+supplement&client=safari&rls=en&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.50500085,d.b2I,pv.xjs.s.en_US.ciY8R2R6XC8.O&biw=1111&bih=695&tch=1&ech=1ψ=B0IFUvrUJIem2gWmhIHwDw.1376076297114.3&sa=X&ei=C0IFUvbVAYHY2wXKuYGQBw&ved=0CGIQ8wIwAg

At least this entertaining. Thanks for the distraction. I forgot I had HPPD for the 12 minutes it took to read this.

Oops. Sorry. I was going by what I was told by someone else.

I am very interested in this. While in France I was going to begin yoga and meditation with an aunt of mine. Unfortunately I ran out of time. How long do your benefits last?

Yeah, as I said. I plan on stopping. Or I am, now. I was just out of town with friends and thats the only thing they do. My hope is that one day Ill be able to get high CBD strains of cannabis. I think that would reduce any ill effects on my hppd greatly.

Sounds good, man. I look forward to hearing your experience.

Anyone have their HPPD go into some sort of remission? I still have all the visuals, which worsen and better depending on whats going on with me. But my very situational DP and anxiety has completely faded. Used to be if I drank the next day I would have horrible DP. Also if I ever smoked cannabis I would full on trip. Anyways I dont know what I did, or if it was just the time I took off in life. But all of those problems have completely faded. Seemingly, anyways. I'm still really, really paranoid its all gonna smack me in the face one morning. Anyone have something similar happen? Am I playing with fire? My drinking and cannabis intake is definitely at a high right now. No pun intended. . . Hopefully I didn't just jinx myself by divulging information I am not entirely sure of. I'm about to stop doing all of this, though. I just gotta little out of control for a few weeks.

I thought you got rid of your HPPD? Or was that someone else?

Considering the whole TOR network just collapsed on account of the US government arresting the man at the head of it all, I can't imagine its terribly safe at this point. For a while Silk Road was extremely safe. But Bitcoins are about to be practically worthless because of the US intervention. I'm not too understanding of the technical specifics, I just remember reading that the Silk Road, bitcoins and all TOR affiliated anythings were about to take a big hit.

Yes my HPPD is about 90% visual at this point.

I had mine go away. My initial onset was mostly static and DP/DR. I had DP/DR for a few weeks, and I was drinking a lot I was graduating high school at the time. Over time it slowly went away. It never bothered me too much, I just kinda shrugged it off and it went away after a month or two. Since then for around a year if I drank too much or too frequently I would get insane DP. I just kept telling myself it was temporary. As it usually is. I haven't had it at all for around a month. I had one day where it was really bad. The next day I woke up and felt great. Hasn't made a comeback since then. I think a lot of DP/DR is fairly mental. I've had it a few times when I was tripping too hard as well. I would just work through it. I did a lot of deep breathing exercises which helped a lot when it was really bad. How long have you been experiencing symptoms?

I would recommend against it. I personally have mild HPPD. Dp was never a real big issue for me. Only occasionally. My HPPD set in after I smoked some questionable stuff and kinda went crazy for an hour. Anyways I still got ridiculously high. I just managed it well and didnt let it trigger anything. I felt pretty close though. Just take it slow. If I take like one or two hits its usually pretty enjoyable. It when I sit in the circle and pass with people that I end up ridiculously high.

I used gabapentin for a while. It seems to have helped a good bit in some ways. First off it makes you feel great. Secondly it completely erased what little DP I would get from drinking. I dont get any at all now. So I can drink a little bit with friends. It kinda makes my visuals swim a little. The good thing about it is that since I stopped taking it the results I got have stayed. I still take some every now and again because its kinda fun lol.

Stop everything. Even if it's not HPPD you sound like you need a long break. Cannabis included.

I liked it. "Soul-cracking" pure poetry.

Im kinda in the same boat. I still have symptoms of HPPD. But most other than visuals have dissipated due to a combination of time and supplements. However, I think it would be unwise to gamble at this point. Cannabis is certainly a gamble. Shrooms even more so. Drinking for me seems fine now. Before I would wake up DP'd the next day. Now not at all. Cannabis seems a bit strong even now. But if I take one or two hits I am able to enjoy it. Thought I try my best to abstain. I have read somewhere, I believe it was bluelight of someone curing HPPD with shrooms, only to succumb to it again with further psychedelic experimentation. I wouldn't rule out Psychedelics as some form of a plausible cure. However, I think any risk far out weighs any chance of relief from symptoms. I think 9/10 it is gonna make it worse.

This is pretty much how I feel. I held so much promise as a writer. I was getting published online frequently, getting emails from literary zine owners, constant admiration and applause from peers and English teachers. And like any idiot started looking for some way to enhance what I already new through the use of psychedelics. Needless to say that spawned a horrendous drug phase in my life. And now I feel like I gave it all up for a few brief glimpses into something else. My HPPD isnt as bad as most here, but it certainly effects me on a cognitive level. I forget how to spell words, and where I placed things daily. Ive spent so much effort and time on trying to rid myself of this that I am completely lost in life. Had to drop out of college because I was too tired and out of sync with everything to get anything done. Now people are looking at me expecting something great to justify my educational and work absences and all I can do is play it off like its just the way i am. When in reality I have so many goals that seem impossible to achieve in my current state. I'm gonna try for Keppra in a few weeks. On a positive note I can now drink without becoming totally useless due to DP then next day. But the drinking is also leading to things like smoking marijuana and the combination of both is making my visuals worse and leaving me depressed. Then again, if I stay inside I get ridiculously depressed and want to off myself. So to deal with that I have picked up a horrendous fiendish cigarette addiction. And the stupid voice in my head keeps finding some small hope that one day Ill wake and everything will be back to the way it was. It's one vicious cycle with no end in sight.

Nice. I smoked a few times this past weekend and managed to keep it under control. It was still way, way, too intense to be generally up lifting. But it was a nice break from the normal every day. I smoked three times in total this weekend. And this week I've had slight head pressure. Other that things remain normal. Weird thing is, if I drink and smoke its way more relaxing. Go figure.

Had the opportunity to take shrooms this past weekend. Seriously, seriously considered it. Kinda went through the fight fire with fire thing in my head. I ended up smoking a bowl and deciding that was enough excitement for me. I was just tired of sitting in and not doing anything. Glad I made the better of two bad decisions though. Who knows what shrooms would have done to my HPPD. Marijuana doesn't seem to worsen it much. I have a few days of weird symptoms like head pressure. But other than that things usually go back to normal.

Thanks for the input. I can't believe I missed that appointment today! Could have gotten it prescribed. Might have to wait until late July now.

I had an appointment with a Physician but missed it due to miscommunication and general forgetfulness on my part. Anyways, I'd like to take the time I now have to ask you guys what would be the best way to attempt getting Keppra. Is it really as hard as everyone says? I planned on acting a bit to get a little sympathy. Can a Physician ever prescribe this? Thoughts, advice?
