I was reading about the gamma knife surgery for OCD. I was wondering if this may help with DP/DR/HPPD because I can't help but think there's some relation to OCD with all of this..... Thoughts?
-
Stuff seems to have some potential, but I'm taking a break because it's making me too drowsy....
-
This stuff is very hard to get off of if you've been on it for awhile. I've tapered down to 0.125mgs this year from 0.5 last year. And yeah, the withdrawals can be terrible, but I think it's worth it because I feel more like myself again. I was just really numbed out on this stuff for awhile and I didn't realize how much I was until I started coming off it. I was kind of an insensitive asshole at times on it.....
-
Yeah, it does seem to cut through the dissociation the most right now, on 200mgs/day, you know the whole 2-d cartoonish vision. Things like afterimages, trails, and snow seem less effected so far. I don't notice too many side effects so far, except drowsiness, muscle aches. I think it's worth it to keep going with it for me. I'll post again eventually......

In certain lighting conditions, hppd has given me x-ray vision. None of you guys knew this?....
-
A lot of things can make hppd 'act up'. But that doesn't mean you should avoid those things.. Only avoid things that could make it worse, like more trips. If I avoided all the things which aggravate my hppd, I'd probably never get out of bed.... Oh well, we don't have a choice but to push through it at times...
-
You'll probably get more used to it and naturally ignore it more as the years pass. You'd probably want to avoid taking anymore acid, forever, since it can make it worse. You may think 'duh yeah', but I feel it needs to be stated anyway since I had mild hppd for some years, didn't bother me much, didn't think it could get worse, then I took more lsd, whoops....
-
In my many years of this , there's been a lot of things which temporarily aggravate my hppd. Most people have ups and downs. But, nothing has made it any worse overall, except taking more psychedelic drugs.
-
In my experience things can get worse from taking more and more psychedelics. What started as a few trails and whatever eventually turned into heavy hppd with dp/dr. You're best to avoid them. But, if you really can't bring yourself to completely giving them up, I'd at least avoid the LSD. It seems to have given me the most trouble from all of em.....
-
I'm still experimenting around with the dose. Doesn't seem like less than 100mgs would do much. But, I'll update more when I've had more experience.....

There is no drug capable of curing HPPD.

I wouldn't say it's totally impossible..... -

Interesting read, two 40 year old case studies using phenytoin to reduce LSD induced "daily flashbacks"...
-
Phenytoin, for me, seems to have a positive effect for my perception, yet little side effects. It seems helpful for dissociation. Only took a few days to see good results. Figured I'd mention it for anyone who's okay with trying meds for this.....
-
Try to stay busy.
-
Nah. However, I do think it can diminish over time, and be lived with.
-
keppra made things worse overall for me in the long run.

Your current relationship with psycehdelics
gill replied to dukkha's topic in MAIN AND GENERAL FORUM
no desire at all. still messed up from the last ones I took over 5 years ago. -
I tried aniracetam and piracetam, no help with hppd. Very different from the effects of keppra too.
-
Well good luck to you. I try not to mess with the benzos until last resort these days, you know all the side effects, but I don't see why a diazepam wouldn't help.
-
You ever try N-acetyl cysteine? Brendan mentioned on the old board. I take it here and there and it seems to help with anxiety and clears out my head.
-
Good to have that added antidepressant, because, the one side effect to watch out for, which I had a lot on this stuff is strong irritability....
-
In my 5 years of experience, lots of different things, like a drug, can temporarily aggravate my hppd. But, I have never seen them get worse overall since it first started. Course, I haven't taken any more psychedelics you know......
