Why you wanna blow your head off for? You experiencing w/ds or you just can't get a right combination of meds or what? You doing any drugs atm?

I don't think it is your tolerance it is just how you are reacting to it. I was on zoloft once and the first time I took it I was having crazy nightmares waking up every 30 minutes sweating and the next day I just looked at the wall all day. You just need to find a medication that agrees with you. You are just experiencing side effects

Should threw in some diazepam when cutting back, much weaker benzo but helps a lot when lowering dosage. A lot of doctors will start to put in a weaker benzo that is less addictive when coming off

I haven't had time to see my doctor to try gabapentin so I just had him send over my script for sinemet and it works quiet nice with the tramadol. I am waiting on my valiums now and I think I will be good to go! tramadol 100mg morning 50mg late afternoon, sinemet 100/25 1 morning late evening, diazepam 10mg 3x morning, afternoon, late afternoon, 30mg temazepam night. Quiet a bit of stuff lol supplements superior b complex multivitamin 4g moringa leaf powder

Is it a headache or a migraine? My head hurts as well in the same 2 spots(migraine) and then the right side of my neck stiffens.

I do not want to try it so I leave it to someone else, I have made it to 7 days then quit. It's called the lemonade diet or the master cleanse. Google it. Basically you don't eat or take any supplements, this includes medication and smoking. Basically you drink this lemonade drink you make for 10 days while drinking sea salt throughout the day to poo. Just throwing out a good detox for anyone who wants to get their self clean. There are people who do this for months it is crazy I started craving Mexican food so I quit on day 7 lol. If anyone wants to detox themselves to the point where you are basically fully cleansed and report back if it has helped their HPPD that would be awesome. As we all know a healthy body is a healthy mind. Good Luck if anyone decides to try this! P.S. The first 3 days are freakin hard but you do lose the craving for food shortly after so keep that in mind if you decide to try this, make it past 3 days and it gets better.

Has anyone heard of moringa oleifera? has small levels of lithium in it only thing but as far as amino acids and vitamins or just about anything else, this herb is superior to anything else as far as organic and natural.

Also Sam93, subs are 40 to 70x stronger than morphine if that gives you a good idea of dosage. For a first time user who has had no opiate experience half a mg can get you real high your first time for 12 hours. Also I forgot to mention a lot of people throw up on subs and it is a 24 hour throwing up session. So to any first time sub user I would recommend starting at half a mg to 1mg and don't swallow after you let it sit under your tongue for 10 minutes spit what you got in your mouth out. I don't advise this but I would snort my subutex just because it was easier to do and it has a higher BA through your nose.

I took just subutex(buprenorphine) and it helped but I hit rebound at 6 months. You can just tell your sub doc "hey I am broke I would like to be on subutex vs suboxone" and most likely get subutex. Trust me subs are far more addictive than any other opiate and do have a opiate like effect, the first time you take it you will be so fucking high lol. And it is very easy to get here in Dallas I have a doctor who prescribed me subutex instead of suboxone its $250 for the first visit and $150 after that and if you got insurance a script of 45 8mg cost me like 25 bucks. Just find the cheapest doctor and tell them you are coming off of opiates you have been self medicating, suboxone/subutex is such a gimmeck they will give it to anybody who just says they are w/d from opiates so they can make their money. I would get 45 8mg pills and only take 2mg a day so it lasted me a very long time, I went to the doctors twice and told him I was taking the 12mgs but just stockpiled instead and saved me 1000s of dollars. 2mg is a good dosage to avoid the ceiling effect and get the most out of it but either way after being on it for awhile don't expect just some 7 to 10 day w/d prepare for a whole 90 hangover and up to 2 years to even stop thinking about it, usually people who take suboxone stay on suboxone and claim to be clean, imo just a swap for one drug to another. The drug itself is far more harmful than a lot of opiates even more harmful and addictive then hydrocodones or oxys imo. I had a easier time coming off of hydros and I loved hydros, subutex was far more harder to come off of and I started to hate it because I hit rebound, lost 35 pounds in 2 months, couldn't eat, constipation - no kidding close your eyes here if you don't want to hear this, my shit alone would clog toilets, at least once a week I was that backed up and I hated going to take a shit it seriously hurt lol. Right now I am on tramadol and I experience zero opiate effect, I believe it is from the snri effect of tramadol, wellbutrin use to weaken my hydrocodones to where I couldn't feel them so I am thinking that is what tramadol is doing to itself. I feel speedy as hell off of it and cant sleep at night, I take 90mg of temazepam a day 30mg 3x a day and doesn't even come close to knocking me out anytime of the day lol. Somebody stole my valiums so been abusing my temazepam. I am blabbering now Good Luck! If you just want to read my summary: avoid subs, they are very very very addictive and can ruin your life. Most people believe you can do a substance for a long time and go through some kind of 1 week w/d and it is over with, its not. after long term use you become dependant and anyone dependant on a drug knows you deal with w/ds for 90 days and takes up to 2 years to get fully recovered. IMO not worth the risk unless you plan on being subs for the rest of your life. O and I mean grapefruit juice, I love me some gfj with my opiates and benzos

Also my motor skills were improved on hydrocodone but I would still have the occasional hand shakings which can be embarrassing because I don't even know my hands are doing it and they shake so bad people notice and ask if I am nervous, I was like hell no I feel great lol. My hands and sometimes my body tremor but my hands can get really bad, wish I knew a way to stop this >.<

I was taking 100/25 2x a day for rls which worked very well but I didn't notice improvement in vision, I've read that my valiums could have been interfering quite a bit. Good luck!

I believe my symptoms are relieved with opiates because I have adhd, anxiety and depression and hydrocodone itself knocks all 3 of those out and gives me a ton of energy. Adderall seriously put me to sleep if I took it right away when I woke up I had to wait for a hour to get my body going and all adderall did was make me a zombie and increase my anxiety, benzos can make me sleepy, ssris/snris or whatever just made me feel weird, even this tramadol makes me feel stimulated but in a speedy way not a energetic way. So my guess is I was getting so much relief from my adhd, anxiety and depression all from 1 chemical it just made me feel normal and feeling normal really helps my HPPD, the less normal I feel the worse my HPPD the more normal I feel the better best way to put it for me.

I would get some kpins or valiums. a lot of people on here like kpins I haven't tried them because I am satisfied with my valiums but the kpins work differently then other benzos or something in that department of helping dp/dr and anxiety of course. Not to sure haven't looked into kpins but it is worth a shot. Also I just recently found out about HPPD like a few weeks ago. When it first happened I searched on yahoo "weed changed my vision" lol and you will find out a lot of people get HPPD from weed by itself or mixing weed with other drugs. Im sure HPPD is a form of ptsd and a ton of other crap because not only do I still experience the weird visuals when I had bad weed trips I also see "shadow people" and my mind can get real imaginative at night and will form shadows into objects/beings from my old meth days. Had a ton of creepy trips on meth and they stuck around a bit too >.<

Yeah weed basically caused mine, it's weird because I experienced what I didn't know at the time HPPD from smoking weed a few times and it only lasted during the duration of the high or until I went to sleep and it would be gone the next day. These few times it happened before I got HPPD for what I feel like is good now I got really bad headaches and my vision just got way to bright and everything looks too detailed and so real that it looks fake<? But yea one day I was rolling and smoked weed and it all happened again and this time never went away, I am to freaking aware of everything now I notice every damn detail and got laggy ass vision and it really messes with my head mentally. As far as medicine, nope, only thing that worked for me was hydrocodones and you don't wan't to start that even though it worked like a charm dependency and w/ds blew and no doctor in the world would prescribe them to me even though they have a off-label use of anxiety, depression and adhd which all 3 effect me and my HPPD and opiates are really the only thing I can use for my adhd that helps it without making my HPPD get worse. Also when I would have these weed episodes I would get extreme anxiety, severe headaches, confusion, sometimes I couldn't make words for shit, couldn't remember a single thing and was thinking I was dieing........lol idk weed really jacked with my head after about a year to a year and a half of using idk why

Also I feel that I am just to aware of it and since I am to aware of it, it will never go away. I can't imagine waking up one day going "Hey everything looks, well different again"(back to normal) because that might even be just as frightening since I can't remember what "normal" is anymore. Hell it's been over 2 years you would think someone would become use to it but it's the first thing I notice when I open my eyes! Also recently I have been experiencing migraines and at night it can get really trippy to the point where I see "shadow people." Reminds me of my meth days BLAH >.< but my tramadol came in today so let us see where this takes me, wish I had the money to see my doc right now I really would like to try gabapentin with it.

Being a alcoholic is not being drug free. A lot of people say alcohol makes it worse or prolongs it. Try giving up drinking, it really takes a toll on you and does effect your brain and body. I would pick up another habit, I use to be a very heavy drinker and just decided to give it a rest, I hardly touch alcohol now, after constantly of no drinking for like 2 months I have really lost the lust for it. I will have a few with my brother or friends once a month twice at most and sometimes wont even drink for a month. Good luck

That is my problem, believe it my HPPD started over weed but other chemicals worsened it. Things are just very sharp or animated looking?? Day dreaming feeling, tons of floaters but really only happens when I am driving, seems like my eyes are just taking in to much info, I see shadow people sometimes but not like how I use to when I did meth, it's more just shadows on the wall at night and they form shapes and sometimes resemble people and a lot of times they are waving at me?(Bastards) Visuals when I close my eyes such as light and patterns. Headaches blah blah you get it. The thing is, I don't remember what my vision was like before I got HPPD so sometimes I wonder if it is just all in my head or if my vision has actually changed. It's like I am just to aware of my surroundings and everything gets intensified and not remembering what my vision use to be like pre HPPD makes me wonder if it will ever go away. Do I just have shitty memory or is this a problem with other people as well?

I'm getting my Tramadol Monday and I plan on dosing low at 50mg 3x daily and I do expect some great results(hopefully). My question is would Gabapentin be something to consider adding in with the Tramadol, also a low dosage of Gabapentin somewhere in the range of 600mg daily? Any thoughts are welcomed. Thank you

blah, tramadol is coming monday hoping it will help, any1 think adding gabapentin to it wouldnt hurt? i was going to try 50mg tramadol 3x daily and somewhere along the line of 600mg gabapentin just to start out small

If you're not gonna use it send it to me

I was wondering if anyone has tried human growth hormones? Sounds crazy but crazy is what we are dealing with! My buddy has some I believe I might give it a try. I am in no way familiar with the human body and hppd but I do know hormones play a effect so I wonder if chemicals such as nolvedex, clomid, aremdix or hgh could help out in anyway. Just a curious idea and a cheap test if there is any logic behind it. thx

i was on suboxone which has naloxone and it made me rage really hard, I use to do steroids and I never raged on them but Nalaxone had me wanting to kill somebody, got switched to subutex which is far cheaper and superior imo, didnt have noloxone and it worked fairly well until I hit the 6 month spot and i was one of the few people who hit rebound and even though it got me through the day(i quitted my job the first day I quitted) it really made me a asshole. naloxone for me is a nono but that is just for me........imo avoid the shit....im fixing to try a trail of 50mg tramadol 3x daily with white gf with extra pulp(works wonders believe me) and I hope this fixes all the issues, the ssri effects I am afraid of because I am a firm believer that hppd and SS have some kind of relation and I had messing with my serotonin. dopamine= pleasure serotonin=trippy but only a true trial will work.........hydrocodone worked wonders for me but took about 5 to 7 days of 60mg, 20mg 3x daily to notice effects and get the high feeling away

i get no side effects from hydrocodones or any opiates for that matter, infact i get a burst of energy and motivation i was dosing 20mg 3x daily, i just ordered tramadol which i only plan on doing 50mg 3x daily but I am a strong believer in white gfj with extra pulp. it works. im hoping the tramadol works like hydros. really on hydros I only had slight visual problems mine are prob different from others but everything just looks animated either that or i feel i am fake and everything else is real. I also feel like i am seeing with my frontal lobes or forehead as i like to see it.....idk strange? also shit gets cartoonish or 2d or plastic or w/e it is cant even explain that.......I am a firm believer that weed is the culprit in this because the only time strange shit has happened to me is when i smoked weed. infact ive been sent to the er just over weed i had really bad hppd and dp/dr.....i seriously looked my mom in the eyes and asked her if i was dead, idk what it is about weed i could use to smoke it no problem and one day shit went 2d i had a panic attack a few months later it happened again and i got hppd for what i believe is a lifetime because i am to aware of my surroundings(adhd doesnt help) so i cant imagine waking up one day and going "wow shit looks like how it use to" instead I have to live by a "who gives a crap im on opiates I can do anything" kind of mood which phases out the hppd. imo i believe hppd has to do with SS which i was on ssris when this happened, hey they say u cant roll on ssris but then again i was taking 12 pills at once and proved that wrong. thats why I believe SS is a factor in hppd, btw im drunk somebody took my fucking valiums and is going to die

thats how mine got, is tramadol fairly easy to get? I get a feeling I am seeing with my forehead not my eyes cant explain it any further really. something I need to talk to my doctor about but its difficult finding a doctor who believes you instead of thinking you are just trying to get your fix

Cures me 75% the other 25% I dont even care about as hydrocodone takes away my anxiety, depression and boost the crap out of my energy levels and motivation. So the 25% I dont really notice, Sad thing is I had to quit after 14 months being on 60mg daily and I can't find a single doctor that will prescribe them even though hell they will prescribe me just about anything else, just not what I want. Anyone else have good effects with opiates? hydros work best for me but a 60mg oxy gets me by just fine too but I prefer the hydrocodones anyday. Stuff stops looking like a dream or spaced out or whatever I am see, depth perception is better and I can walk outside without the sun hurting the crap out of my eyes and can go back in a dark room just fine(usually I go outside and come back in and takes a minute or 2 until I can see again). Just colors and people/objects look like how they are suppose to and they also help with my migraines which come from the base of the skull, what feels like a pin right smack in the middle of my brain and the right side of my neck stops hurting and getting stiff.
