Jesus Christ so I'm on a trip down to Atlanta and am freaking out big Time. I'm supposed to drive my car back 8 houtabut if I'm like this there's no way. seems Time is going by real slow.and I'm biting my lip to make sure I'm hre if that makes sense. think my dp/dr is going haywire along with the anxiety. its been a week since I cut my dosage in half and seems the worse decided to happen now. is it a good idea to just take my nighttime.dosage for a few days see the doc and try to get him to prescribe sinemet as instead of the klonopin? Or just a smaller dissolving klonopin dosage to go slower? I realize five years on it is a lot but seems I'm easily affected by drugs. more than others cause it was an only .25 cut. and I feel like in gonna throw up as well

shit almost the same situation im in lol. 21 tried living alone in Atlanta, worked a little bit, but ultimately my DP/DR won over. which brought money issues. (double knee surgery didnt help). im now currently back home in a small town in souther indiana and it is lonely. i have firends about an hour away though in Indy so its not as bad for me i guess. id choose rest the brain and see what happens. honestly could be nothing or actually improve or it could be a shit storm, and other stuff could happen. like i said i know how depressing it can be in a small town by yourself, friends moving on, living with parents, etc. i got accepted to IU twice. went to IUPUI and dropped out living with a few friends who are noe gonna be seniors in college and i havent completed a year lol. depressing thinking about it actually. anyways no one really knows what will happen, some will say press on dont let HPPD or the DR bother you that much. which is actually good advice for the most part but on some occasions especially yours i believee having access to doctors you need is essential. anyways good luck either way man.

lol it was the only thing that was working and when i tried to get off of it went way to quickly and scared the shit out of me, so went back on. albeit at a lower dose which is what ime coming ooff now .25 twice a day. for six days been doing .25 in the morning. is that to much of a cut.. we both figured it was such a small dose it would be ok to do that and go off completely this thursday i believe. thoughts? seems you have more knowledge than me so appreciate the help. and yea i figured id have some symptoms which is why im holding out hope that maybe after a few rough coupple of months id actually feel better without the klono.

I once tried Paxil and I think that made things worse actually. I was sorta hoping that the klonopin was actually making me feel worse and once I got off it things would be better lol. I might get back on something if it stays like this tbh. Tryptophan actually made me feel a little better I think but if a serotonin increase is all I need why was I on benzos for five years lol?

Hey so I think I'd get a quicker and maybe more responses here. Anyways I coming off of klonopin or at least trying to and this is the 6th day. I guess my main question is I've been seeing "differently". I don't know how else to explain it. Just everything is different sometime maybe looks smaller or just perceiving it as smaller. Back to the question though. Is this withdrawal symptoms or what my hppd is like without the klono? Don't know how I'd do it if it was. I don't remember what it wAs like really I've been on klonopin for five years. Any help would be nice

I've taken 1000mg of tryptophan and 3mg of melatonin one night and still took forever to fall asleep. The tryptophan I think calms me down but I think I might be sleeping worse on it. Is that possible lol? I might just try the melatonin tonight without the tryptophan. Any ideas?

Might try that anyone who has taken tryptophan what amount did you take? I've only taken 500mg and my sleeping has gotten worse. I think that's because I stopped my klono at night. Melatonin messed with my closed eye visuals for some reason

i took one 500mg about a half hour ago so guess i just have to wait a little longer

Well now I actually noticed the dreamy feeling is getting a lot worse. Maybe should've heeded advice about antipsychotics lol? Idk maybe ill go pick up some tryptophan but hate to give up on a med after one night but it seemed most was worse. And those images at night scare the shit out of me

Well the first night of taking it was ok I guess. I did see more of the weird images though when I tried to go to sleep. Maybe my trails were a little better but the feeling of looking at something then looking away and then looking quickly back and the original thing looks new. Like the first time seeing it. Hard to explain. But it's 25mg of hydroxyzine so pretty low dose and this morning I feel lightheaded. At least that's the best way to describe it I guess. I'm gonna keep taking it though because I don't know if it was the new medicine causing it or lack of klono at night. Anyone who took hydroxyzine have similar effects though?

generally a bad idea but some people like me dont have issues with those besides their normal side effects of drowsiness sorta intensify. the thing ive noticed is that the general consensus is stay away from drugs afterwards. which is great and righ advice but unfortunately i didnt read in time so i took a risk of continuing my hydrocodone use. turns out didnt effect my visuals or dp/dr so i got lucky. for you it seems you did not. im thinking the worsening effects will go away for you though. just give it time.

Will do. Hopefully better than the last time I tried cause when I did that I was on a lot more so it felt worse. Trying to be positive on this one lol

Well gonna stop taking the clonazepam at night and start hydroxyzine instead. See how it goes and maybe end up stopping my 5 year benzo use in 2 weeks

im on some asthma thing and allergy medications. and right now have a sinus infection so not feeling all that well lol. clonazepam is the only thing for the HPPD and DP/DR

I'm trying to get a list of things to bring into my doc on Thursday see if he knows anything. But should I be worried about the little increase in visual problems when I decrease the clonazepam? I'd like to take some cod liver oil pills as has been recommended but I'm already on a bunch of medicine.

What's holding me back though is my trails and after images seem to be increasing and if I drop off the klono prob. Get worse

Got me interested. I might look for a supplement though at a health store

I tried that once before and right before I went to sleep the..... Odd images were ridiculously bad. That was with klono use though. Thanks for the reminder of it though, def. will keep that in mind. I'm gonna say this wrong but what about a 5htp increase supplement? Or decrease? Just for at night right now I think.

Hey guys I have been reading a lot more recently of certain types of sleep and/or lack of deep sleep can cause some dp/dr. Bentos don't help either which is why I'm thinking of weening myself off. Try again anyways. I was up to 2 mg a day I'm not down to .5. Is there a substitute for it at night? To help sleep. My short term memory is also shot and that cloudy feeling is just getting overwhelming. I believe my 5 year benzo use has caused it. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

hey all havent been here in awhile just had double knee surgery and unable to do anything really so busy trying not to get to depressed lol. but ive been struggling with something for awhile now. ive told a couple close friends about HPPD and the DP/DR that comes with it. not sure if they believ or not but idc i chose to confide in only them and my family. sometimes i get sick of feeling awkward in some social situations. i moved to atlanta and thats helped socially but im still characterized as the thoughtful quiet guy thinking over things. which is true and for some reason with this i find my ability to think about many things at once and different outcomes of situations extrordinary but anywho.... should i just post something on facebook to finally end it and what would i post? dont want them coming here but i feel like i gotta get it off my back soon. anyone have a similar situation? or anything remotely close lol? thanks for any responses

My advice would be to do just that as long as you don't go overboard. Some people react negatively to weed and some dont. Also judging from this thread I think you need to chill the fuck out a bit lol. I don't mean any offense by that at all, it's actually legit advice. I know how you feel along with a lot of others on here. I felt a lot better after just relaxing and figuring out what I can and can't do. I'm prob. one of the few people who will tell you to keep doing drugs, as long as you know your limit and also you know what can possibly happen.

i see a lot of people from europe on here and not sure if you guys do the whole cough syrup thing but i do. especially living in atlanta now. i was wondering what anyones experience was with tuss? myself i took 4 tsp. tonight at like 7 30 it is now 12 15 and thanks to the extended release it feels fantastic. it might best to quit drugs all together but myself and others on here feel a little different. this is a great high alternative if you keep it under control and just looking for other opinions to help with that.

ive had hppd for 5 years, i am now 20 and have never really changed my drinking habits. it feels like i might get drunk quicker for some reason but nothing really long term damagin. i quit weed for 3 years but started again a couple months ago. not much at all but that also didnt make me feel bad at all, but i would not reccommend it just because of what COULD happen. im going to stop my experiment because i dont wanna risk it.

seems im the only one in the States going to any lol? i know for sure im heading to lollapalooza in august, already bought the tickets. hopefully a couple more if i get the money.

i am in jda's group i think
