Just curious is there any energy supplement that you guys use to give yourself a little boost, 90% of the time I just feel tired and need a little boost without having to consume a lot of caffeine as it makes some symptoms temporarily worse, let me know

Glad to hear you beat hppd, I’m just about to hit 6 months, and I’ll say it’s gotten easier but my symptoms have remained the same for the most part other than my dp which has reduced drastically compared to what is was at the start

hey @Jagermeister, how long did it take for your symptoms to go away?

Hey man, just try pushing through it, if you read one of my posts about exercise I was really into it before hppd but then after my symptoms all came it was the worst feeling whenever I tried working out and running but after a good consistent two weeks of doing it everyday for a few hours the effects it had on my hppd kinda just went away for the most part, and I’ll have to say it definitely makes me feel better now after working out, just like livin with it everyday you gotta keep pushing forward

well just in case anyone else runs into the same problem as me ill do a little bit of an update. after about 3 or 4 days in a row i have noticed quite a change in the difficulties in running, i can do a solid 2 miles maybe 3 on a good day with little head pressure now, but it still makes my after images a bitch and a half but manageable, and as for the heart rate, its still a fairly high but now it sits about 15 bpm lower than it was at a bit faster speeds. so all in all, im happy that its improving as running and lifting use to be my way of clearing my head.

Im not quite sure if it's related but figured id ask, for those of you who were big into exercise as i was before hppd, how has it effected your stamina, the distance you can run and at what speed. i only ask because before hppd i was running around 4 miles a day at 8-9 minute miles, as well as lifting for about two hours after. but after all the symptoms of hppd hit me i barely am able to run 1 mile at like 10 minutes, not to mention my heart rate sky rockets as soon as i begin running, probably sits at 175 bpm, when it use to stay at 110-120 running at faster speeds and for a longer duration. i'd say my biggest conflict is the heart rate, i get incredibly winded faster than usual and my head pressure comes on worse as well as after images and other shitty symptoms, just curious if this happens to anyone else, and if after time and continuous exercise it goes away and begins to calm down and revert back to normal.

yeah see my last trip on acid was like mid november last year, and i never noticed any, and i mean any symptoms of hppd until about 2 months ago and the only drug other than caffine i had in that year span was an ambien maybe 1 week before it started kicking in, so i was just trying to figure out what kinda jump started it. side note: i will say i was an avid gym goer and would take pre workout with loads of caffine and while on it i noticed visual snow and i just thought it was due to the caffine (no other symptoms came with the vs on pre workout) so looking abck now yeah i may have had very very very and i mean very mild case of hppd cause i felt and saw perfectly normal until the ambien.

i was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with ambien and the effect it has on your hppd symptoms, both visual and mental aspect of this whole shit show

damn, i was fairly sure you were jokin but i had to ask. ive seen a few videos of people saying that so curiosity got the better of my judgement

@jbalsa2 hey can you give more insight yet on how posture has cured you, and in what way? more of the mental aspect or has it also helped with the visual snow and other visual disturbances that comes with hppd

I can tell (at night mostly) that right now the static is very mild and and sometimes it can be worse and other times not so bad, but even at its worst it doesn’t really unpair my vision, although along with the stupid ass tracers my eye sight had gotten quite blurry but my glasses prescription has stayed the same so I assume it’s just an effect of the hppd. Considering most of my day I’m tired and it’s very difficult to stay focused I hope it does go away, I know it’ll take time, it’s just the not being able to focus and always feeling like I’m like way deep into my Brain and thoughts making it hard to function. I appreciate all of the replies!

Thank you for the reply, sounds bad but know there are others going to similar things kinda help mellow me out at time knowing that you can still live a good life. I’d say the only thing that gets in the way for me is I feel like I zone out a lot and staying focused is impossible sometimes, also over the past few days my tracers have gotten worse and sometimes I start thinking like what if they keep getting so bad that it’ll leave me blind, idk if there’s been cases like that but that’s probably the one thing that I hope stops progressing. Before it was choppy sorta like a short after image but now is a smooth, blurred dragged/trace motion like when I move my arm up and down or set a glass down. I’m just hope I’m not passed the point of improvement seeing how it’s been a year since my last lsd trip and they only just recently started about a mo th ago. Any thoughts?

i also want to know if anyone else kinda has gon through the same as me and tips and tricks, certain things to do to help with the condition

I guess first things first, My names Jason and im pretty damn positive i have hppd. a little background on me, i am 23. I still go out and do things sometimes, just not as much. i work at a lumber mill and usually keeps me distracted, and i am currently not on any medications and dont plan on being on any. ill try to keep it short and sweet but i want to get involved in the community considering ive been reading posts on here for the past month and you all have helped me greatly with coming to terms with living with this condition. probably about a year ago i was on a acid binge dropping two times a weak as well as taking ecstasy once in a while, i would say my highest dosage would have been about 10g of shrooms and two tabs of acid at once and lemme tell you that was an experience. granted its something that ive never wanted to do again, my binge lasted approximately 3 months and ended december of 2017. life was great for me after that i never noticed any symptoms that i can recall until about two months ago where i got this terrible brain fog and horrible fatigue and that lasted about three weeks straight and somewhere in the middle of that i started getting trails in my vision, light became a lot more bright you could say, i dont see auras around people like others but when i look at like a light bulb it seems just a lot brighter with a fiery shaped halo around it, but i kinda see the beauty in it. i do see after images once in a while, usually when looking at a lit sceen for too long or a picture on a wall, not very distracting but at times it can just pull all my focus when i notice it. lately ive been feeling just an odd kinda, light headed/ disoriented feeling in my head (especially when standing up), and not to mention it can be a bitch and a half to focus on one thing for to long (like reading text on my phone or a computer; sorry for the long introduction ?) the one thing that still trips me out a bit is when i make a fist of my hand i see just a 1 sec after image of my fingers that are somewhat translucent but i know thats just apart of the the trails in my vision that i see. visual snow is almost non existent, it pitch black theirs like a 5% visibly noticeable snow but definitely not something that grabs my attention. at first i thought i was going crazy, but i kinda had an idea what was behind it cause ive always been worried my reckless use of acid and such would come back to haunt me, and man it hit me like a brick wall covered in spikes. i had thoughts of suicide and sometimes what i see doesnt always click in my head cause it doesnt really seem like its real, but that has sorta gone away after a month of realizing i had it along with the immense fatigue and brain fog that was accompanied by mental confusion. all in all im struggling but im also coping at the same time, ive always been fairly good with being able to calm myself through breathing and meditation due to anger issues in the past (ironically i dont get angry anymore since the symptoms really kicked in), i only really had one panic attack and i was able to pull myself out of it within minutes so id say im fairly lucky cause that was an awful experience. so probably the worst things are my heart rate always seems to spike and when it does i can usually calm down but it stays a bit higher than usual, and the disoriented sensation thats a constant but ive stopped drinking all together as soon as i figured it was hppd, i havent smoked weed 9 months (its weird i smoked after i quit acid, and my high never felt any different than it did before i did acid and shrooms). the hardest thing for me to wrap my head around was this is how my life is forever but i try not to focus on that and just accept it, and also why is it that my symptoms just started a month ago when i havent any drugs other than alcohol in over a year (i did take 1 ambien 5mg, about 2 months ago) maybe ive always just had it ever so mild and never realized it, but thats my story and im glad to have found this page with members who are just here to help others and to talk to, no one knows ive been dealing with this and i dont plan on telling anyone so for me being able to talk with you guys when i really need help with it or to help others would definitely help me get through some rough times ahead.
