Ok so very brief run threw since I've already said it many times. Have been on klonopin for 4 years and was at 3 or 4 mg a day(cant remember). Got down to .25 a day and have been there for a few months to a year.i was hoping for better memory etc. never happened memory was still shit and cloudy so a couple days ago I added a quarter of a .25 pill at night. So not much total for a day but upped to like .28 or something Absolutely fuckin hate my brain being fogged up and memory is awful. I'd love to be able to not have to read or listen to things like 5 times to remember. Can't see a psychiatrist until December and thinking maybe continue at this dose and wait for the side effects of upping the dosage to go away and see where I'm at. I was doing fine with my taper until I had basically a spinal tap and got a spinal headache where my spinal fluid was leaking. They did 3 blood patches so I'm thinking I'm sealed up cause no major headaches but ever since then I've been feeling more detached and visuals were a little worse so going with the idea coincidence or me leaking fluid effected HPPD somehow a little So much for brief, fuck. My bad. Wondering what your guys' thoughts were on continuing at the dosage or have any other ideas. Thanks

Is this a common thing?l i can't comprehend many things at once sometimes and just feel confused.like I had a mini stroke or something lol. Or is this just a different description of brain fog

Thanks guys. Hope-on my dose honestly wasn't as bad as some.there were a few nights that were insane like you seemed to be worried about. I had the worse panic attack I've personally ever had and almost went to ER cause thought I was having a heart attack. Everything just kept building up and couldn't stop it I didn't add anything to help the taper at help. Seemed counterproductive but I'm sure it would help. Yea idk, I mean I know upping the dose would probably be bad long term but those closed eye visuals scare me and fuck my head up really bad. Have a hard enough time sleeping before.you guys know how it is. Can't see psychiatrist in this town until December so stuck right now not sure what the consequences would be if I just upped it like half a .25 a day or what. Yea the thoughts are great sometimes(unique to people who has this) and then others they're freaky/scary. At least that's how I think lol

Yea basically that except mine stop when I open my eyes and my memory is shit. Messed up. Not sure if upping my dose is a good idea or not. Was on 3 mg a day for like 4 years and am now down to .25 a day so I'm guessing this is what life is like on low dose of klonopin and I'm not liking it lol

Don't know how exactly to describe it. Anyone else get closed eye visual?not colors and everything but actual things mostly scary shit and people.also after I get that sinking feeling I memory is terrible.its the feels like it's been awhile memory issue. Just worse. Thinking about upping the dose of klonopin a little. I got down to .25 a day but visual are worse now and this stuff is more extreme

Didn't want it.seemed counter productive to me. I don't care if its less addictive still addictive and would have to deal with that lol

Been on klonopin for five years. It's good just will make you feel like shut when you first start taking it. It has a long half-life so just do minimum dose.shuts addictive. Was 3mg a day and going down to .25 a day was hell

Time heals for some others it doesn't. Not everyone's HPPD is the same.A few people have had this for 20+ years med's are the only way to cope. Actually really awesome to hear stories like yours though.

I volunteer myself after five years lol. The main issue is always going to be getting the "guinea pig" medicine from the docs. I believe a lot of people have tried just solely these? Maybe on the old board but those records are gone unfortunately. Stem cell is an interesting idea for sure but a little extreme at the moment...maybe.

Idk my opinion on them seems to be unpopular on here. I've been on klonopin 5 years and yea going down from 3 mg a day to .25 sorta sucked but it helped me overrall. If something does that I say take it.

I've withdrawn from both and putting a point in the hydros corner for me. Whenever I get prescribed tramadol I just sell it. I do get some relief from vicodin but strangely I also get more headaches from it

Hm going to see a neurologist tomorrow maybe ill ask or wait until I see the psychiatrist.i really don't wanna do keep par again my memory is awful but i seem to recall some bad side effects.probably wasn't on it long enough idk. This sounds interesting especially at such a low dose.

You'd think they'd advertise something other than an antibiotic or a fuckin tramadol though lol. Seems weird to me

Lol good.just making sure it doesn't include the dex without stating anything on the bottle

Hey guys a doctor suggested promethazine for sleep but I needed to ask if all promethazine contains Dextromethorphan cause that's a dissociative hallucinogen right?and that can't be good.all the prescription says is promethazine and he also gave me cough medicine that says promethazine with codeine.if dex was in it it would have to say n the bottle right?

Who spams a forum with an antibiotic that I have taken like 50 times for bronchitis?

Well everything has stayed the same so I just took a full .25 pill and see if anything happens.

Neurologist didn't think much of it now but for other reasons I'm starting to doubt everything about this guy. Also how long have you been on the klonopin?i was taking it for five years and am now on such a low dose so it would make a little sense but seems to coincidental for me

Thought of that actually but my stomach also got upset so idk

Hey guys I bight 200mg suntheanine cause I've been confused can't think clearly feeling type stuff but about a half hour after taking it I started to get worse in that respct and my memory was shit if I looked at something forgot it immediately so it seemed like it was brand new. Anyone else experience worsening with theanine?all I've seen it either does nothing or it makes things better

I was thinking for foggy feeling but melatonin I had some messed up visual every time I took it

Agreed it doesn't work but it actually tastes quite good. Very interested in a theanine trial as my sleep sucks and maybe it will help with the fog.just don't know the regular amount

Whenever i tried nac it didn't really help me much but everyone's different. I'm more interested in theanine.theres a drink called Neuro Bliss that has some in it but I'm sure it's not enought to see any major effect.how much of it are you taking?

Has anyone felt depression coming? I feel like that's how I am now. All my medical issues can't golf doctors doing nothing.any advice how to hold this off?i usually golf when I get this way but my head is really messed up as detailed in my other thread and becoming lost

For some reason that leads to other issues
