Did anything trigger the attack or was it random? It's surprising that it can hit you 7 months after your trip. I thoughtI was going to be in the clear after a few months. How strong was your HPPD and did go down eventually?

I think I am going to take your advice. I am going to check back later to see if there are any new posts because I'd feel like a jackass if someone else responded I never bothered to read it. But then I am just going to predent HPPD doesn't exist.

I can't believe more people aren't aware of this. Every source told me that psychedelics were the safests drugs out there and that everyone should try..... Bastards. I either have very mild HPPD or I don't have it at all. Maybe I am just noticing perceptual anomolies more but I think I see a very small amount of static in the dark, although it could just be a placebo. What makes me thing that it's all in my head is that I started to feel mild symptom AFTER I read about HPPD. Anyways, I stopped taking everything two weeks ago and don't ever plan on even drinking a beer. There's no point in worrying if it's going to develop. I am just goind take my mind off it and focus on school. I guess if I don't see any symptoms in the next few months then I am in the clear. I really feel for you guys. I barely see anything even if I focus and I am already paranoid. I've seen pictures of how people with sever HPPD see the world and I can't imagine how they get by. It's a shame there isn't much information about it out there. If I had known about HPPD, I know I would have never gone near mushrooms. It seems that all of you are young and got HPPD pretty recently so there is a good chance it will go down or disappear altogether. Good luck to all of you.

I tried magic mushrooms 3 months ago for the first time and tripped on them almost every week until about 12 days ago. I basically had a really bad trip, and then threw away all of my mushrooms (~ 1.5 ounces) and promised myself to never go near any drugs again. I haven't had any experience with any drug or alcohol before I tried mushrooms and you couldn't pay me to try them anymore after my unpleasant experience. Now I am paranoid about developing HDDP. I don't have any obvious symptoms like static vision or any color shifts. If I really focus I think I see very weak patterns on the carpet and the walls but I am pretty sure that's just a placebo. For those who have HDDP, my question is: when did you first notice it? Did you notice it right after your last trip or did it take some time for it to kick in? I am asking this because I need to know if I am still at a risk of developing HDDP eventhough I stopped taking psychedelics.
