  1. I think there's more possibility of it being linked to the prozac, or it is a combination of both. The timing is almost exactly the timing when an SSRI starts to "work". Also, the initial three weeks where you felt ok, the prozac would have been doing nothing, which makes me think you were naturally recovering. 

    I would strongly suggest going med free and seeing where your baseline is (Speak to your doctor, of course). I am absolutely baffled as to why they put you on such a medication after one week of anxiety, unless you were already suffering from that before the trip?

  2. I've tried various CBD products, post HPPD, including smoking CBD weed... Nothing has an effect on me, negative or positive. I'd say it is safe enough to try, as long as there is zero or trace amounts of THC content.

    As with anything new, just take it slowly and up the dose as needed.

  3. Same generation... there were pretty much 2 strengths to any drug you bought... mellow or strong. 

    With acid, the designs on the tabs tended to get a reputation.. Strawberries were mellow, raving testtubes were strong, etc etc

  4. You can start chatting to a doctor at any point, especially if this is causing you severe worry/anxiety. 

    My personal view is to not go on any medications for at least a month though, ideally three months... UNLESS you are in a very, very bad place and thinking of doing something. 

    Most people I chat to get better naturally after around 1-3 months... But a lot of people jump straight on meds and think the meds healed them, they often then stay on said meds scared that HPPD will come back.

  5. Way too soon to tell.. Just try not to give it any more thought right now and do all the suggested stuff (zero drugs, alcohol, caffeine... minimise stress.. try and get good sleep etc).

    I know it is hard, but try not to read anything more about HPPD and try not to anylise your vision to the nth degree.

  6. None of us are ok... I've had severe, life crippling HPPD since 1995. But there is a way of speaking to each other that just encourages conversation. Jumping onto a small, well intention post about not giving up to shout your agenda is just not the way the world works. As you can see, i haven't banned you and you are welcome to post whatever you want on here as long as it's not spam or causing extreme problems for others. I think creating your own post is the better approach.

    BTW - I have sent every bulk email request i've ever received via PM here... If it was emailed or sent to reddit, then it is more likely it went through the cracks, so always PM me here. Also note that people are actively doing things... lots of things... Damn, this forum costs me $45 a month and that's come out of my pocket for maybe the last 10 years now... That's $5k+ right there, just because I feel we need a "home" that is not as frenzied as social media. There are people here doing various things for various societies and research groups... I struggle to keep track of which is which, but people are actively trying to do things.

    Well then that’s 30-50 people that can help find a professional fundraiser or something constructive that can help. I don’t have all the answers but I at least tried to do something!

    You haven't tried to do anything here... You came on, bad mouthed people for not doing one very specific thing, yet did nothing yourself... Posted no articles, no links to fundraisers, no mention of what you are doing that might inspire people. 

    Rethink your approach and channel your energy in the right way and things might happen.

  8. You seem to be someone who can't listen/read.

    Only hope is not a solution, sure... people on here do way more than that though.. and you know this... You are just pissed because your own "hope", the australian research, didn't hit it's targets.  

    Chill the fuck out, learn to communicate properly and you will go so much further getting support.

    There’s nothing good about this shit if you’re on the severe side of things. 

     

    You shouldn't speak for everyone.

    I have had a few positives from severe HPPD, namely it stopped me taking drugs when other friends moved on to heroin, they are dead, went to prison or living miserable lives now. Not many got out to a place of contentment.

    I also feel like I am more empathetic and in touch with nature and my surroundings. Probably more creative too, as I use creativity as a way to escape.

    HPPD is fucking shit, no doubt... but you can still have a positive mindset that benefits you. Don't let HPPD drown you.

  10. I guess we are gonna have to keep buying lottery tickets!

    As sad and horrible as this sounds... We are probably now reliant on the inevitable law suits when HPPD explodes with the rise of legalised MDMA/Mushroom/LSD treatment, sooner or later someone rich and powerful will get fucked over by the treatment and some shit might actually start to happen.
