Hi, I'lm new in the forum.
I'm a french medical student. I'm stucked since my New Year Trip with, i think, a HPPD...
I took a 1/2 LSD with a bit of coke, alcohol and weed that night.
Actually, I'm a bit lost because contrary to most of what people experience, I don't have any visual, but only mental symptoms.
These symtoms are:
- headaches migrating over my brain, my face. Duration and intensity variate a lot depending on the day. In general, it increases during daytime, to be maximal afer noon. Also, when I drive my car, this headache increase other my speed, i feel like my brain is compressed while i accelerate.
- With these headaches, comes a sort of brain fog, with concentration disability, that variate during daytime.
- sleep disorders, some nights i really have to wait like 2 hours before to fall asleep. However, i'm really tired but my body makes muscle twitch just before i fall a sleep so i wake with tachycardia.
when i am exposed to cigarette smoke, my symptoms increase to be maximal during 1 week, and slowly decrease...
Since i've started experiencing this bad trip, i stopped every drugs and alcohol and cigarettes. Paracetamol and Ibuprofen do not work on headache, and melatonin not really much.
Sometimes, for a few minutes or hours, every symptoms disappears, to finally come back, unfortunately.
I just try to have a healthy lifestyle, sport no drugs, regular time of sleep. But last night i had really hard symptoms altough i didn't do anithyng to make symptoms worse, but i woke up just like if i had a hangover on alcohol.
I am really exhausted fighting against my brain, i don't know what more i can do
Do you think i have a HPPD ? Should I Try Keppra, is it efficient on this type of symptoms ?
Thanks for support, Have a good day
Charles
