I believe it is true that caffeine will slow the HPPD reduction visuals. There was a time I went to a coffee shop and had espresso shot mixes, and it changed my outlook completely that day. My hearing felt louder. My visuals got stronger. It was very unpleasant.

Watch this, it's a motivational speaker. He has great things to say that I forget to do sometimes. 

All those symptoms is revolved around the term Visual Snow. Doctors believe that migraines cause 40-50% of visual snow problems. 

Hello man haha,

mine faded and disappeared. Surely I tried using again. That was a mistake that I shouldn't have not done ever. Relapse is the best word for coming back to visuals. Mine came with more, assorted ones. I do not know what is reality or not anymore from all these movement illusions. It throws me off course, especially at home. I always have to tell myself, that these images are my eyes playing tricks on me. 

When smoking weed causes confusion big time for me. It gives the same high, but less anxiety as the usual effects it should. With confusion, do not smoke and do anything productive, because it will not work out the best. We are better off sober trying to get less anxious than getting more confused than we really are haha. Trust me on that.

I had the same problems with the sun too, and tingling in hands in feet. I have pain problems right now. All over random pain points. I have shaky hands and muscle twitches, I just feel awkward in front of others. Pressure of the chest could be from having a panic attack. I get those, and easily I get told I'm having it. Right now I'm sick, I have a runny nose. I do not know what it is from, and what to do anymore. I understand with the sex and the dehydration though, the more a sufferer exceeds their body to higher levels I bet the HPPD symptoms get worse. 

What I'm doing now is watching what I eat and taking vitamins every day. Right now my body does not like meat. I am forced to become a vegetarian, and I feel better because my stomach does too. I suggest you pay attention to what you eat and take vitamins too. Keeping your body in check, is always good. Stretching before sleeping makes sleeping better, study suggests. I have problems sleeping. Stretching eases stress during the day as well. So much tension relief, you will notice it. Help yourself as many ways possible. 

Live well,

Amy

i have this terrible feeling that the moment u take that mdma it will trigger a flash a wave of "I never wanted this" realizations. After that some of your hard work will crumble, just from your bad habits returning. but that is my opinion, it is only fiction. 

They prescribe medication. Why? Because it is more expensive and it pays them. Professional therapists are profoundly are paid less. Those who suffer with anxiety, with the help of sessions in therapy get just as much improvement as with medication. With both they make more.

Why is the prescribed medication rising? We can not force people to go to an office to explain their feelings and accept help. Not all can do that, but some have not tried. There is no problem in getting help. These counselors have studied all the workings in the mind, just to help others and I bet themselves. With that, they will try their best to get as close to pushing us to accomplishing every goal we have in our lives. No one wants to fall. No one wants to see us fall. Overcome your problem, do not let it win.

I wanted to conclude this on the site, because not once did I come across recommendation to see a counselor. I was distraught for those who are licensed to see this and not be introduced for those who need help. Well here I am. 

It takes a perhaps a few weeks for your body to adjust to the medication, and soon you will start seeing the real effects. 

Stress aggravates visuals. So can sleep deprivation and caffeine. The better the feel, the less your head has to work to make you feel better. 

I suggest seeing a counselor. Atleast every two weeks. They try to get to the root of triggers of your anxiety. Because everyone is different with their triggers. 

I got migraines every day that It got in the way of doing what needs to be done. I began taking topamax twice a day. Ever since, the visuals are still there. Less of an ache. Haha.

Coping skills and talking it out should clear it up.

This illness is commonly thought as hallucinations, but individuals will not see imaginary people. My symptoms include:

-Trailing of moving images

-Geometric hallucinations

-Flashes of color

-Halos around objects

-Walls seem to breathe, swirl, move

-Intense lighting

-Illusions of movement

-Intensified colors

-Color confusion

-Burned in after images.

-Awareness of floaters. Mostly in blue sky.

-Static vision. Which is a closed eye visual.

I have learned staying awake, caffeine or a sugar, illicit drugs makes it worse. Ever since I was little I had static vision, and I noticed it before I would fall asleep. That and "visual snow", but now if I do the three things listed above, it will make it worse. I have done those type of drugs before, and I have not been the same. Colors and my perception throughout the day is not solid. I get dry eyes, I have eyedrops. I take migraine medicine because my migraines got bad, probably because lights got too bright for me. I always turn all my electronics lights down. I used to have migraines everyday now I don't, but my head still feels dull.

I suggest keeping the body clean from any harmful substances. From alcohol especially. I had flashbacks back to back that I could not pay attention to what I was doing unless someone helped me. Please, if they say it is bad for you, and the statistics are right. Then just don't do it.
