    I know a woman with epilepsy who takes this, among other AEDs (anti-epilepsy drugs - it just occured to me that it could just as well stand for anti erectile dysfunction ). Will ask her about it when I get the chance. I'm always a bit wary of GABAergics, though. Any downregulation of GABA receptors is pretty detrimental. Oh, and I believe that 1998 took (or takes?) depakote at one point. However, he hasn't been around since shortly after his doctor sent him on that completely irresponsible clonazepam cold turkey. I'm quite worried for him, actually

    Glad to hear it was of some kind of use! And welcome to the forum, good to have you aboard

    What were you thinking of specifically? β-blockers? Clonidine, guanfacine, or...?
  4. StateOfRegret
    Haha, ingenious The water solubility is seemingly quite poor, ~2mg/mL.

    It is clearly an aqueous suspension. I've used tyndallization before on mycelium growth substrates. Pretty clever technique, old or not. You let endospores germinate, leaving them vulnerable to heat, and then you boil them Do you happen to know the pore size of the filters you have been using? GLYX-13 is a very short peptide.

    So, benzodiazepines 2-3 days a week, GHB 1-2 days, some alcohol?

    That was horrible! But funny

    I tried in my days of milder HPPD. I didn't find it all that interesting, but I wouldn't say that it is inferior to alcohol. I know a lot of people who definitely prefer it over alcohol, and have more fun on it. However, using it for anxiety is out of the question! The risk of dependency is simply much too great. GHB is short-acting, meaning that withdrawal symptoms kick in approximately 1-2 hours after last administration. The withdrawal symptoms are marked by uncontrollable delirium, seizures etc. and is deemed impossibly to manage without benzodiazepines and medical supervision. I have a friend with bad anxiety who had a GHB addiction. I really wasn't pretty. I'd choose an opioid addiction any day. http://hppdonline.com/index.php?/files/file/75-%7B?%7D/

    File Name: Emerging trends in GHB withdrawl syndrome, detoxification File Submitter: StateOfRegret File Submitted: 07 Mar 2014 File Category: Publications This article details the experience of two physicians in different metropolitan areas who have treated a number of patients who have gone through what appears to be withdrawal after the repeated use of GHB. They describe a syndrome that has similarities to both alcohol withdrawal and benzodiazepine (or other sedative hypnotic) withdrawal. Click here to download this file

    May I suggest that you live by the rule, that if you have nothing useful or respectful to say, then keep quiet. That would take care of the vast majority of your posts. We are all struggling here. We all have our own set of symptoms. If the only contribution you can think of is belittling the struggles of others or spewing nonsense, then do us all a favor and keep quiet.
  11. StateOfRegret
    Yes, my thoughts exactly upon finishing it Thanks for sharing the link!

    I thought it would be interesting to collect all interesting HPPD stories from outside of HPPDOnline, as I'd like to read more. There are a few on Erowid which are more or less HPPD-related: No Life Without It A Life Cycle There is Jacob Scheier's book My Never-Ending Acid Trip. There's the New Yorker Article Please feel free to add more!

    Hope it works out well for you :-)

    Of course it matters! That is simply false. As Wikipedia says: (emphasis added by me). It also stands to reason, that in time your receptors will upregulate once again as a response to the diminished amount of 5HT, hence the slow taper.
  15. StateOfRegret
    I was suggesting a slower taper!
  16. StateOfRegret
    Bring him some documentation (for instance the COMT Inhibition article) and some selected forum posts, if you haven't already. Seemed to work for me . I still don't understand why you don't taper off the SSRI, though. It's gotta suck less than enduring those discontinuation symptoms?
  17. StateOfRegret
    The obvious choice would be a more gradual taper from the SSRI, but I assume you have compelling reasons not to do this(?) Clonazepam would probably do the trick as well.
  18. StateOfRegret
    I usually think of it in terms of being a useful evolutionary trait. If you're subjected to environmental toxins, it makes sense to down-regulate the receptors they agonize (and oppositely for antagonists, of course)
  19. StateOfRegret
    That definitely sounds like classic SSRI discontinuation symptoms. However, I've never been on SSRIs. My best bet is that it is simply anxiety/panic related in my case
  20. StateOfRegret
    It was a short read. Not exactly a fantastic read, it was a bit 'all over the place'. But still, it's nice to see a book about HPPD.
  21. StateOfRegret
    Thanks for mentioning it, I had never heard about the book. Now I've bought it, and read a couple of pages. It reads much like an introduction post here on the board, it's written in very plain language. Looking forward to reading more
  22. StateOfRegret
    That is really strange. And I'm very sorry to hear it, feel free to ''vent'' here, if you feel like it. I honestly didn't think that could happen, or at least I've never heard about it! Mine has been completely stable in the 4 years I've hat it, except when I've taken drugs, which made it worse. I really didn't think that emotional trauma could bring it back, though it is well known that anxiety seemingly amplifies it temporarily.
