  1. I am talking about abusing alcohol. I find that I am all or nothing - for me I need to cut out drinking entirely to avoid any effects to my condition. It is good if you can control your drink / doesn't have any long term effects. How often do you consume alcohol?

    Ah gotcha the way I read it, it sounded like no one should drink at all. I don't consume as much right now because past few days have been rough and I don't know whether it's hppd or another serious medical thing. If I'm all "normal" probably drink a few times a week.

  2. I'm a very anxious person. Let's get that out of the way. I was on klonopin for 6 years and now about 4 months off of it but considering going back in issue if this is what life is like without I can do it to out it bluntly. I'm wondering what peoples experiences with prednisone are. A few days ago I got some sharp chest pains and tightening so thought heart attack thought I was dying EKG said no. Still hard to breathe lung test and oxygen came back normal though. Have a sinus infection as well I belive that I'm on antibiotics for. Doc put me on prednisone he thinks will help inflamed chest muscles. Last couple days I've been real foggy,headaches, feeling small, depersonalization stuff in general. Also a hypochondriac so feeling this way, sorta confused I get worried about multiple sclerosis. Had a scan for that about a year ago and came up fine.

    If you skipped over that it's understandable so to simplify has prednisone caused any increase in depersonalization for anyone?

  3. So does this do anything if I take it as needed or do I have to keep taking it regularly. Doctor prescribed it to me and after taking klonopin for 6 years and still doing withdrawals not a fan of a taking a drug every day regularly again. Or if I had to stop it would there be no withdrawals? Thanks in advance

  4. So long story short last night I stayed up all night thinking I was having a heart attack and dying so got tests in the morning and lungs and hard are fine but I still have chest tightness. And some tingling in my head and arms sometimes. Especially after I take a deep breath. Most of the time tingly feeling increases and lightheaded.

    I'm obviously a hypochondriac and I look up everything but I know I always have the head pressure and lightheaded feeling from my hppd and dp. So my question is, is this anxiety even 24 hours later? I'm new to this as I used to take klonopin to calm me down I cases like this but I've been off of that for over 3 months.

    I came down to anxiety with the tingling in arms and my feet or lymphoma because...hypochondriac

  5. I know a year old bump but sorta relieving to hear someone else with HPPD have the heart attack fear. It's now 8 in the morning here and still yet to sleep. Went to the doctors lungs were fine and EKG was normal. Anxiety sucks especially since I've been off my 6 year friend klonopin for about 3 months

  6. Going on my 6th year and unfortunately visuals and DP seem to be getting progressively worse. They were at least stabilized before I had a spinal fluid leak. Not sure exactly on how that would effect this,maybe someone else has an idea.

    Just after five years I thought I'd be well past the getting worse stage

  7. As the title said those three things seem to be getting worse but I'm pretty sure I need to withdrawal off the klonopin I've taken for five years.ive tried twice before and am down a very low dose so I hope symptoms are at a minimum but who knows.

    I'm gonna start the withdrawal after spring break so basically at the start of April. My concern is that the things that are worsening will just get crazy after. Any advice on this?

  8. I'm only going onto year 6 but sort of same situation. Someone to talk too helps a lot man.someone to relate to on any level.i found someone who has this and have texted them and every time there's a response, for some reason makes everything instantly better. My number is 812-216-0946 if you ever wanna give it a try. I know it helps me out a lot maybe them to, I have no idea sometimes responses are slim which is understandable.

    There is potential to live a normal life.i know it's there,just a matter of finding it. Above poster is a perfect example.

    Seriously hit me up if you need anything

  9. Well just started it today. Probably just me worrying to much but I feel real edgy today sort of like twitching maybe? Not sure how to explain it. Doubt it does anything in one day though

    For anyone who has taken it have you noticed an increase in anything? I haven't seen anything so I'm not to worried but don't want an uptick in snow/after images etc. why I stopped the lamictal

  10. I think all that he's saying is it doesn't mention hppd directly in the article. Maybe that's causing the confusion. There will probably never be a cure that was directly made for hppd. It will have to be something else by coincidence or modified a little. Just like the links that you have posted. Will be interesting to follow for sure

  11. I take that 500 mg pill^^ in the morning every and It has reduced my visuals by about 25%. It definitely makes my stomache hurt though.

    Good to hear. Visuals would be nice biggest is the depersonalization factors. Still waiting on the pneumonia to clear up and my stomach always seems to hurt anyways lol
