    I'm seeing Dr.Abraham this Saturday and want to collect as much info as I can prior. Has anyone found that benzos do nothing for their visuals? They reduce my anxiety obviously but don't reduce my visuals, no matter the dosage it seems. If anyone has any experience with this their input would be appreciated. Especially if they found something else that worked for them. Thinking or trying sinimet.

    For those of you who have tried SSRI's have they increased your visual symptoms or decreased them? Or had no apparent effect? I'm considering changing my medication since it seems like a lot of people are saying SSRI's make HPPD worse. Also if it is making my symptoms worse should they return to a baseline when I go off them? I went on the ssri around the same time my HPPd symtoms began so it's my hope that they might die down a bit if I discontinue the drugs. Currently on 20mg lexapro

    Are you still recovering though or did this put you back to square one?

    Boozbome did you continue to use psychedelics or just pot and stuff? My HPPD is pretty mild and if this is temporary Id like to be able to smoke pot again but I'll obviously never touch shrooms lsd mdma etc

    So Im pretty sure the drug I took was some kind of Nbome, not real LSD, the thing is, I've heard some anecdotal stories that it very commonly causes a kind of "temporary HPPD" that usually goes away in a few months, this would help explain why both my friend and I are having the same symptoms. I also have definitely already noticed an improvement in my symptoms, after a couple months, this along with the mild nature of my case gives me hope that my condition may be temporary, anyone heard of this happening commonly with this RC? And any thoughts on that matter would be great, thanks guys

    I'll ask about that but the ssri does seem to have at least made me less of an emotional wreck about the circumstances, plus Ive always struggled with anxiety and depression, that's probably why I've obsessed so much over a case of HPPD mild enough that the majority of you would be grateful to have. The ssri doesn't seem to have increased the visuals either but who knows

    Gone drinking a couple times, seems to worsen symptoms next day so no more of that. other than that yeah, stopped smoking weed altogether, even drastically reduced caffeine, my friend still drinks and smokes weed however. I was put on an ssri at the beginning of all this if that makes any difference

    It's been 47 days since we took it and were both still experiencing the same symptoms, perhaps minutely milder than they were but perhaps I've just become desensitized, does that chance your opinion at all?

    Also I feel bad for posting twice, thought my first didnt post. any clue on how in I can delete the other one?
  10. Chiggs17
    Well actually it's probably pretty likely it was some bullshit, would that still be HPPD then, or does that crap just have a tendency to do that?

    I have been diagnosed with HPPD after a couple of experiences with fairly low doses of lsd, the onset came about a week after the second. This was roughly a month and a half ago. Strangely, my best friend, who also did the same stuff, and the same amount has also had persisting visual symptoms that are exactly like mine. I understand my case is considered pretty mild but I'm prone to anxiety and really dwell on it, making it worse. He shrugs it off with "it doesn't affect my ability to do anything so whatever" It seems really statistically improbably that we would both have HPPD, any thoughts on what's up?

    A little background, I've done acid twice mdma a handful of times and mushrooms a handful. I've only done one and then a half tab of acid and never really tripped that hard. The thing is, I've had persistent visual disturbances for about a month and a half now and was diagnosed with HPPD. In my case it's pretty mild, in many environments I don't even notice anything, certain patterns/lightning however can really trip me out. Here's what's really strange though, my best friend is having the exact same issues I have, it just doesn't really bother him. I'm prone to anxiety and can't help but dwell on it which makes it worse. It seems really statistically improbable that we would both have HPPD, does anyone have any thoughts on this? Is that evident of it being more of a transient thing? I'm really confused at this point. My psych has been a big help but I haven't mentioned this to him yet

    Thanks, I should also mention that many of my symptoms, such as the shifting of colors and warping of objects only occur if I focus on them, im not sure what that means exactly but due to my obsessive nature I can't help but focus on them. Also I haven't really found a forum where anybody discusses the actual recovery rate. Any info about that would be super helpful

    Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and this is my first time posting in any kind of forum so I'm doing it wrong feel free to let me know. I have done mdma a few times, mushrooms a few times and lsd twice. After my last experience with LSD I started to have panic attacks and experience odd visual anomalies. My Psychiatrist listened to my symptoms and seemed to think they fit the description for HPPD. I don't experience anything when I close my eyes and no fractal patterns, I do occasionally see objects shifting slightly if I really concentrate them, as well as a small shifting shifting of colors, more just the shade or shadows changing than the actual colors changing. I constantly think I see movement out of my periphery although that could simply be anxiety. I was seeing lots of little dots of light in my but that has oddly subsided today. Oddly my problems with objects moving and color shifting went away during a time when I was concerned about afterimages. (Turns out they're normal I just became hyper aware of them). Took Xanax every once in awhile when I would develop panic attacks, that didn't seem to change the visual symptoms. Klonopin did seem to help but my visuals have subsided slightly without it today. I have a couple questions, is the concurrent with most of the symptoms others describe and does it seem mild compared to others experience? I am also curious if the severity of the symptoms has any correlation to chance of recovery. Sorry for being long winded and I appreciate your replies
