Thank you! But as for benzos i have tried them and they are too short term and not as effective as keppra, too sedative and addicting. I use those for emergencies. I have looked at the topics on here but i can't find any good salvia caused hppd topics which i believe would help me best, but i'm open for any ideas. I just need to get over this extreme anxiety especially so i can live up to my life's ambitions as a 20 year old college student and musician/composer.

It's been almost two years ago since i was last on here on hppd online. i went offline for a long time because of keppra but now i've ran out and am searching for a new doctor because my previous one retired. Keppra isn't something i want to go back on though because of the sporadic side effects, i want to try something that doesnt have the chance of making me more depressed but i want to relieve my constant anxiety. Any help please? on medication and/or doctors in my area of Tacoma, WA, USA? Also please include any studies i may have to show any professionals concerning medication and especially HPPD, Thank you.

Hello can someone help me with my horrible constant anxiety and depression from salvia caused hppd? I used to take keppra 500 mg twice a day and then 1 gram Keppra XR (extended release) once a day, and as greatly as it helped me, it would have off and on/sporadic negative side effects like depression and suicidal thoughts but i still thought it was worth it because it tamed my anxiety which was horrible for me and still is now that i am of it. I live near Seattle WA area and am looking for a new doctor or nurse practitioner to help me with my hppd by prescribing me with the best possible med combo and therapy. Any suggestions and help? I need it desperately, i hate living like this and can't go back to keppra, i need to try something new, im hoping for a cure but treatment would be enough for me.

I would try keppra to see if that dissappates the social anxiety. I'm started on it last night of which I take 1 500 MG keppra tablet every night. I also have terrible social anxiety and I hope both of us can overcome and emancipate ourselves from it through Keppra. Hope Everything Goes Well.

Thank you so much for the insight on keppra. I will try keppra again and see if after a month I see beneficial effects which I'm hopeful for. I'm just so glad you posted that insight on here, it brings me back the hope I lost.

I would definitely try Keppra. It has essentially "cured" many HPPD sufferers of their symptoms. I tried it for about 10 days but it eventually made my depression much worse, but that's just how my body reacted to it, others have had much better success. I currently take a benzo called Lorazepam or Ativan, and i know you said you didnt want to start benzos but if the keppra fails, you should ask your doc about ativan or even klonopin. I am also on a liquid form of lexapro in which i take 1 mL (1 mg) per day and will start to increase by 2 mL everyweek starting this next week. My doc has told me it should help with my social anxiety and depression. The ativan really helps me at school and i am waiting for the Lexapro positive affects to eventually kick in. I hope everything goes well for you, stay hopeful, no matter how hard is to do, and a silver lining will come.

need help asap please! i nearly committed suicide the other day and would really appreciate if anyone could help me in finding a doctor that understands hppd in my area. I live in Tacoma, WA, USA, which is about 30 miles south of Seattle, WA. I just want to be better so i can finally have the confidence to meet a girl and to love as well as my lifelong dream to pursue a career as a piano composer. I am 18 years old now and have had it since i was 16 (September 2, 2012)- yes i remember the exact date because since then it has been a living nightmare. Ever since I developed HPPD I have had Constant Depression and Consistent Anxiety of the extreme along with the disturbing visual snow and hallucinations.

Hello I live in Seattle, WA. I have had little help from hospitals, doctors, and psychiatrists so far in the last two years i have had hppd and really would appreciate any info on any doctors/psychiatrists that understand hppd or that will at least prescribe me keppra for I have heard that works well. I am willing to travel far, even to the east coast if I really have to. My main objective is to get better and would appreciate any info please. Thank you.
Salvia caused HPPD. Please help with medication for extreme anxiety and bipolar depression.

There were side effects that were horrible, but were not always a daily or even weekly frequency. but when they occurred which could happen anytime, they were horrible and made me emotionally numb, depressed.
