  1. I think you're just fine, I went through the same thing at 17-18 years old and thought I'd blown my head mate. I even stopped smoking weed to see if anything would get better. Truth be told, I may have been experiencing mild HPPD effects, but I guarantee they were exacerbated tenfold by my focusing on them and being anxious about them. I guarantee you are going to be okay, just take some time to let your brain rest and recuperate after psychedelic experiences and you should be okay. Much peace and love!
  2. I used to post alot on this site, i havent been on in years but my email keeps notifying me of this post for some reason so i'm here. I have noticed in the past 2 years absolutely no difference in the symptoms I experience, however I have noticed changes in my dealing with it. I literally have not thought about HPPD for about a year or so now. I used to trip myself out every single day about it. I was scared, and I had no support but this group. I honestly think you need to shift your focus to the things in your life that you can deal with. accept the fact that you have the symptoms you do, and do what you can to work through them. it takes time but you will function again, I promise. If you ever need me, PM me and i'll send you my email
  3. so then what explains the mild changes in my visual field? also, i was at a point where i was scared to smoke weed and drink coffee but that has passed
  4. Bump because relevant Update to my situation, I have resumed smoking pot every day with almost no effects to my supposed HPPD Lemon tekked 2 grams of mushrooms about a week ago, noticed nothing abnormal in my visual field. Not sure what to think about it at this point, either I don't have HPPD, or I do and I'm just so used to it i don't even notice the changes? IDK MAN any takers?
  5. I am aware that benzos only reduce anxiety and then the visuals taper off at that point, but seeing as i got an eye doctor checkup and my vision is fine, i am going to ask my doctor to put me on benzos for ashort month. any idea what ones would be best for m? anxiety is nt that bad anymore but visuals get to me often
  6. No cog/mem impairment, dp/dr is a no, brain fog maybe? definition of such? had a few months of rather intense anxiety after some rather bad mushroom trips however that has levelled out. i'm rather depressed lately. I've stopped smoking pot (was a daily smoker for 4 years until october 27th) but thinking of starting again due to depression
  7. A few months ago I was so worried about my HPPD symptoms that I thought I would go schizophrenic. I did alot of acid and mushrooms in the past year, about 50 tabs of acid and a good 3oz of mushrooms. I have mild visual snow, mild afterimages, halos and starbursting on lights at night time, ifI stare at a wall for over 2 seconds it starts to gently move I see mild, broken patterns on textured surfaces If I move my perspective to the left while staring at a focal point on a textured surface, to the right of the centre of my visual field, I see all the edges of the textures swirl in a counter-clockwise motion, If i move right, it's to the left of the centre of my vision and the swirl is clockwise. The reason I don't think I have HPPD now is because my friend who has had absolutely no psychedelic experience and has smoked cannabis under 7 times says (and this is after more than a year or two of no cannabis use) that he has all of the exact same things happen to him *WHEN HE LOOKS FOR IT I think I may just be looking for these visual anomalies everyone experiences, so much so that I expect them there. I think i have created enough synapses in my brain in the past 4 months of constant observation for visual anomalies that these synapses are firing and I am noticing these issues without even thinking about it sometimes. Can anyone give me a definitive way for me to know for certain I have HPPD?
  8. Can someone send me a link to a study or forum post telling me exactly how hppd works on the dopamine system?
  9. When I close one eye and focus on an object like a small black dot on the wall, I can see the same dot about a millimetre beside it. Is this a normal symptom?
  10. I was an avid cannabis user for the past 4 years, had my psychedelic experiences starting about a year and a half ago and ending 3 months ago. I have had many high dose mushroom trips, and many acid trips that add up to about 50 tabs over the 1.5 year period. I noticed HPPD symptoms about 3-4 months ago, with textures swirling around the what i would assume are blind spots in my vision (check my other thread for more info) patterns in trees, mild palinopsia, patterns on any textured surface, mild visual snow. I stopped smoking cannabis in the last weekend of october, after smoking daily up until september and only smoking on weekends in october. A week and a half ago, I started taking Valerian root to help with my anxiety. It has been working very nicely. I didn't take my valerian root saturday morning because I had to go to my zen buddhist temple and I did not want to be drowsy during meditation. I took my valerian root a few hours later. In the days after that saturday, i have noticed starbursting and halos around lights which were previously either not there or mild enough for me to not notice. Does anyone know why this is happening? again, have been sober off weed for a few weeks, stopped drinking caffienated beverages and have had a few alcoholic beverages over the past two weeks but nothing too intense (except for halloween night) Any ideas why this may be happening?
  11. pretty weird coincidence seeing as my mother suffers from migraines since before I was born.. woah
  12. I have been taking it for almost a week now, 3 times a day, 500mg capsule. I find it does take away my anxiety although it makes me rather drowsy, it's something I can live with if it means visuals will cease or calm down
  13. I see patterns in walls and textured surfaces, the only thing is they are not full blown patterns like I see when I am on psychedelics. It is more like a broken half formed visual anomaly. Does anyone experience this or are your patterns full blown? If my wording is wrong, please ask questions i'll try to explain myself but i think this makes sense
  14. and i have not tried anything else, this is my first time trying to use supplements
  15. I am going to be taking Valerian Root very soon to deal with anxiety. Do you guys have any recommendation as to what dose I should take to do so?
  16. i see mild floaters although they do not bother me. i see visual snow and other hppd symptoms like trails behind moving objects
  17. Okay so imagine image one being the normal textured surface, image two is what happens as i shift my perspective
  18. so you're saying me worrying about schizophrenia is just an intrusive thought? mmkay, taking this in. keep going if you can
