Hi Friend,
I'm sorry to hear how much you are struggling. Unfortunately I do not have much experience with meds other than Zoloft which I have been on for about 3 years and has helped my anxiety and OCD. I don't think it's impacted my visual symptoms and they have progressively gotten better. I know it's hard to bear day in and day out but try to stay positive; you will recover. Everyone's path through recovery is different, this disorder is very strange and sometimes doesn't seem to make sense. I tell everyone the same thing which is what worked for me:
- Stop all drugs (even alcohol for a bit if you can)
- Get as much sleep as you can
- Exercise regularly even if it makes your symptoms worse
- Eat well
- Stay busy with work/ school/ hobby etc
- Try not to worry
- Learn to meditate if you can (this was really helpful for me)
- If you're open to it, start praying to God (it doesn't have to be any particular religion just ask for help on your knees everyday. I really believe it will come if we reach out)
There's an old saying and it goes like this: "When you're in hell the only thing to do is keep moving". You'll get past this, stay strong and know that we're here for you. If we can recover then so can you.
Take Care,
Nick

Hi guys,
I'm at this point where my hppd is getting so bad that my life quality is getting low and its affecting everything. I cannot enjoy being outside by day, i go crazy over white walls, need to wear sunglasses everywhere.. I'd like some help, thoughts and advice. Thanks in advance
I'm 27 years old, i live in Belgium and i think i have hppd symtoms for over 4 years now. I have very very bad visual snow.
I gave up on all drugs because of my hppd. The last year it got a lot worse. The only stuff i still use is alcohol and sleeps meds.
I took zolpidem (ambien) to sleep, because it made my hppd alot worse my doc gave me lormetazapam and trazodone (ssri) to sleep. The trazodone fucked me real good. After 3 weeks my hppd doubled. I gave up on trazodone 3 months ago. Now i am building of my lormetazepam i'm on 0.3 every night. Still my hppd is getting worse. While this 0.3 and 1 evening of alcohol every week are the only substances i am using.
I read alot that benzos might help for hppd, would there be a differance among benzos for hppd? That lormetazepam makes it worse and clonazepam would help? Or is that not possible?
How could my hppd be getting so much worse while using no other substances then 0.3 benzo and sometimes alcohol..?
Any advice is welcome, i am desperate
Thanks in advance
Hppd and benzo's need some advice

Thank you very much Nick, i appreciate the effort you put in for me. I will definitely try meditation because i also need more rest in my mind. I was a person living from high to high always feeling this emptiness, i try really hard not using any substances, i gave up on smoking for over a month now and i started running. I feel these benefits so i am open to meditation and i truly believe i can benefit from this.
I assume that meditation can lower stress and in this way it can benefit for hppd.
Thanks alot
