LethargicAcid

ADD adhd (i have the disorder)meds cured my dr/dp but I stayed up for 3 days (only 20mg adderal).  I thought it would be ok to smoke weed but i ended up getting hallucinations etc so i had a panick attack and called 911 and it was all in my head... fast heartbeat but not life threatening... its crazy how the mind plays tricks. but thank god my hppd isn't noticeably worse cuz i was out of reality .. but yeah add adhd meds cured my dr/dp idk about hppd until i hit psychosis

dude I have the same issue. except I quit smokinig pot yesterday so it was unbearable; I raged earlier in high school(nor keppra) and just left because I was so impatient. yeah stuff collects in our subconscious minds. like he said some people are violent some people cry . I like to listen to music, do art, cry, and sometimes punch things. but Yoga and Meditation helped me the most. its training the mind to be stronger by use of sustained focus. it Is so beneficial in so many ways including reduced anxiety/depression(thus dr/dp), increased focus, thoughts collected, knowing yourself, deeper general breathing. yoga stretches out muscles and spine, releasing tension like acupuncture.

try valerian root for anxiety its cheaper than Xanax lol and doesn't kill u. takes awhile to work

I just quit weed. a sativa strain helped me "find myself" and I recollected my thoughts and priorities. also, it got rid of my DR and Hppd by a noticablew amount which was weird. everyones different. I quit smoking yesterday. I wouldn't recommend it , it dissociated me sometimes and indica made my floaters crazy. yeah its just annoying living in a 2-d world. but clearing your mind aka meditation will help relieve anxiety if you learn it. good luck . umm just do physical exersize that's my fave.

I am like 3 months into HPPD.

Started smoking last month and have been smoking everyday since.

My visuals, I think, are a worse.

I live in Cali so it's good. It helped me get back into reality kinda ironically. Self-exploration.

Yesterday I dabbed and I felt like I was on acid, like I was seeing the world for the first time. Lots of anxiety.

I am crying right now because I'm out of reality and so many people depend on me:( I feel schizophrenic

Thanks for the insight! I guess quitting weed is most important though it sucks. I want to try those supplements

Plus meditation increases concentration which is what dr/dpers need

Meditation and yoga healed most of my derealization and my anxiety is pretty much gone after 2 months hppd an 1 month meditation/yoga. Since dr/dp is from anxiety (I think), that's why meditation works. And it doesn't really help hppd because hppd is physical I think. But yeah living in the moment, you gotta get used to, with all te visual static it's kinda annoying

wow well it is in green tea as well. but ill try it and ill give u a report. it seems like the best medication for adhd

but the best thing to do to relieve anxiety is to meditate: its basically the same state of mind as being on a psychadelic trip; it takes away preconcieved notions and relieves anxiety so that you're living "in the moment" objectively . i havent really achieved this state of mind yet because it takes a lot of practice and determination

im talking about mindfullness.

its weird how u got a panick attack. coincidence?

meee

well ive have hppd for 1.5 months and in like another year or so if hppd doesnt seem like its gonna cure(ive been straight-edge), then im gonna start smoking weed and doing shrooms and shit again. and adderall for my adhd. im already a very spiritual person and i feel psychadelics are just for me. jay what you said makes me depressed becuase if i never do psychs again it will make me depressed

interesting, i was gonna try l theanine for adhd/hppd. seems like the only treatment. ill try to get some and hit u up about it

I used to smoke weed for add/adhd and it gave me lust for life.

I have my day off today and I'm completely bored because I have no motivation.

I wouldn't mind sleeping all day but its real life.

Since hppd, can't smoke weed or do stimulants. Have anxiety and depression and low motivation.

Can't even read a book because I just get drowsy cuz I just daydream.

Does anyone know any add/adhd helping drugs/herbs/supplements that can help me? The only way I can have fun seemingly is excersize to stimulate my brain and that gets old.

I hear sinemet somehow increases dopamine without exacerbating symptoms so that's my only candidate so far ..

Please help love, lethargic

is taurine safe for visuals?? its GABAergic. valerian root seems to help but taurine does too. Idk if it affects my visuals or not.

it treats anxiety well.

not much has been tested about it .

i heard ashwaghanda root is good for anxiety im probly gonna get some.

Any remarks?

hey everybody my names Lethargic and i aquired this disorder about 40 days ago. ive been sooo anxious and depressed therefore stressed and have DR. Im just a dissociative person in general becuase im sensitive to emotions so sometimes i dissociate myself as a defence system.

My mom is angry at me right now because im so stupid with brainfog... i have add/adhd as it is and i have such a short temper now so i yell at her. she asks why im on the internet all day and i cant tell her i have hppd..... This shit is ruining my life

I always oversleep and my dreams are always lucid as fuck. its funner than reality but its not real =\

WIth add/adhd my brain is already bombarded with stimuli that i can hardly process so this added stress makes me hardly able to pay attention in class. Im too busy worrying and shit to do my homework so Im wasting my time making this shit when my grade's at stake.

excersize is the main thing that makes me feel ok but i have to do homework... too stressed

If i take adderrall or caffiene or weed etc. for add adhd then ill basically go insane forever...

So im stuck with this absentminded brain plus hppd so I cant remember ANYTHING. everyone thinks im stupid and stoned all the time cuz i talk with no motivation but that was all the time even pre hppd

I am 18 and my life was seemingly perfect before hppd...

For some reason ranting makes me feel better. Im working on not being a martyr.

Now ill list the things that I do to cope with HPPd after all this research on hppdonline.com:

fish oil

magnesium

valerian root

vitamin b

eating healthy

Now ill list what actually ive noticed helps:

Yoga and Meditation actually are like the best along with deep breathing. Like ill literally be in class anxious, deep breathing the whole time and trying to meditate in class. Ive been super anxious/depressed and i look like a total teenage loser.

Now what I can contribute to u guys: I use taurine to alleviate anxiety.             Some on the forum say that it increases visuals, but I have not noticed an increase. Im planning on cutting off the taurine to see if i can cope and if the visuals decrease.

I still have a chance for recovery ... Taurine is a GABA agonist and it helps alot with anxiety.

                                                                             I was thinking about trying Keppra/Sinemet but i was informed by the user's post, Jay, that that may interfere with my recovery and i should just live with this bullshit until =\.

            I was particularly keen about trying sinemet not only becuase HPPD recovery but becuse its a Dopamine increaser and add adhd is catgorized as low set of dopamine so it would theoritcally alleviate ADD/ADHD symtoms and HPPD. but i cant becuase it may interfere with my recovery i guess.

            One option may be to use L-theanine in green tea to alleviate add/adhd as i heard it has alleged benefits. So thats pretty much the only thing going for me other than meditation. =\

       So depressed and I am neglecting my priorities just to write this as i feel it alleviates my anxiety.

                       The user, 50's, tried ashwaghanda root and he said that it is better than valarian root for anxiety so any reports on that. any other tested anxiety treatments?

   Anyways hit me up guys about Taurine and any depression treatment. or whatever that can help. or about sinemet or keppra if they will interfere with recovery. or Add/adhd medications that wont interfere with hppd/dr/dp. I just wanna not be DR'ed all the time .......

Love u all and i hope we can find a cure for this shit somehow for the masses with hppd.... yeah wishful thinking anyways time to hopefully not neglect my oh-so-important priorities.

         Love, Lethargic
