I might try vestibular rehabilitation therapy soon. I'll report back if it helps.

Over 1 month ago I had 3 or 4 strong drinks at a party and while I was going to sleep I felt like my brain shook. The next day I had a panic attack and ever since my anxiety and tinnitus has gotten worse (I hear it everyday now a couple of times throughout the day) and my head pressure and sensations have gotten worse as well. I also had trouble with dizziness when standing up or exercising (it has gotten better over time) so I decided to finally go to the doctor. I got an MRI of the brain done today with special attention to the internal auditory canal (the first part was done without the dye and the second part was done with it). I'm going to get the results in a few days and I'm going to a neurologist and going to the ENT to do an ENG test. This sucks because I was doing really good before the party. I don't think the alcohol played a role since I drank before a bunch of times without any serious problems but maybe it did. I want to know if anyone has done the ENG test before and how they felt after (HPPD wise). People report feeling a "roller-coaster" sensation after and I can imagine that being worse with HPPD.

Summer makes me feel better overall HPPD or not. Its the winter that will give me the blues.

Try Maca

And now this just came out http://www.the-scientist.com//?articles.view/articleNo/42393/title/Studies--Psychedelics-Not-Bad-for-Mental-Health

They mention HPPD on the bottom and say they will take precautions. They also state that "the phenomenon has been widely exaggerated" -__-

How many sessions did you do?

I'll try it one day.

Someone should maybe mention HPPD and visual snow syndrome to them? http://muhc.ca/research/dashboard Although you might only be able to reach administration

How much does it cost for a short session?

I also recommend this. Good for improving mood, energy, and libido without increasing visuals. It was shown in some studies to act as a neuroprotective as well.

Do yoga instead if you can`t get into deep meditations

Besides guided meditations that were strictly just meant to make you relax, most meditations used to make it worse for me as well. I would feel more trippy. Now they don`t anymore.

The CBD oil from Dixie Botanicals worked for me. However they were bought out by Medical Marijuana Inc and I haven`t tried their new products out yet and don`t even know if they are for sale yet.

Don't know about HPPDer's but it has helped this guy: http://www.neuroscientistnews.com/clinical-updates/patient-awakes-post-traumatic-minimally-conscious-state-after-administration

Wow. Why is everyone`s HPPD so different? I see, I used to be the chain smoker type.

Jay I challenge you to quit cold turkey for a month and report back on your symptoms haha. I also switched to e-cigs before quitting but that didn't do much so I quit. But I agree one cigarette shouldn't do irreversible harm.

Within a week or two of not smoking my visuals began to decrease as they continue to today.

Quitting smoking has helped me a lot!

So I tried the astragalus tincture from terra firma botanicals (http://www.terrafirmabotanicals.com/astragalus-tincture). I took 8 drops and after about an hour or two it increased my visual snow, tinnitus (which I rarely get), intrusive thoughts, intrusive images, and depression. I felt really cold and just generally bad until I took a nap. When I woke up from the nap my shirt was soaked in my sweat. I felt an increase in vitality and blood flow. Throughout the next couple of days I would either feel vitalized or weak and more depressed than usual. After 4 days I took 6 drops of a gingko, gotu kola, and rosemary tincture from the same site (http://www.terrafirmabotanicals.com/page_20_12/organic-brain-tonic). It made me feel sedated but the next day I felt great. Ever since that day I feel good and my vision has never been better (since onset of HPPD) - still not cured though. I'm not sure if that's the astragalus or the gotu kola or both or just time doing it's thing. I'm not sure if I'm going to take astragalus anymore though because I didn't like how it made me feel. It might be one of those suffer now to gain more later type of things though.

Please let me know how this goes and good luck! I did two 48 hour water fasts before and felt better after them. Although I am not completely recovered (would consider myself around 60% recovered) I'm sure the fasts had something to do with that.
