So I've been suffering with HPPD for a couple months now after taking some bad LSD (who knows what it really was I guess). After a couple weeks of nervous breakdowns my mom and I decided to get me help. We went to a psychiatric place that suggested I stay with them for a week for help and therapy, but come to find out the psychiatrist there had never heard of HPPD and just tried to get me to take antipsychotics which I refused (shouts out to this site). After that week in hell, my anxiety continued but my visual problems were getting better with occasional flare up and always worrying about it.
Until recently I got in a car crash and got a concussion now my visuals are full blown again. My new doctor gave me a month of klonopin and now wants me to start with an SSRI. I guess my main question is, what is the consensus of this site, do antidepressants help HPPD or make it worse? I've been getting awful sleep, horrible stress at the fact I think I'm going insane, and been depressed before this whole ordeal.
Thanks for being here
