  1. Definitely try without medication first. But I was unlucky and symptoms got worse to the point of suicidal thoughts and suffering all day every day. When you are at that point, you don’t really give a fuck what you have to do to feel Better. Sad reality but I accepted it.
  2. Try lamotrigine bro. It cleared up head pressure and brain fog instantly
  3. Hello guys, I am a 23 year old who got HPPD from some random drug I thought was molly, but it wasn’t and sent me on a hallucinogenic journey to the next realm. I woke up the next day and nothing was the same. My reality had changed, visual snow had appeared, and I had extreme Depersonalization. For 2 years, it bothered me but it was never life destroying. However , my symptoms got worse. I got head pressure, extreme brain fog which just puts you in a horrible mood, and DP/DR and extreme depression. I felt no pleasure. Mind you, I was using marijuana the entire time which I know is not good, but it helped me cope. So I would spend hours on this website digging for a cure. My first thought was keppra was the cure but when I started it, it made me feel even more spacey than I already was so I quit. Next I tried Zoloft at 50mg per day. For the first month, NOTHING happened. I felt the same, just empty, no emotions, no connection with who I am as a person. I thought my personality and brain was destroyed. The next month I moved up to 100MG and after about a week I woke up one day and had rushing euphoria like I was a kid again. The social anxiety that I previously had ( induced by HPPD, very social pre-hppd ) was Gone. I noticed that I was spending ALOT less time worrying about the little things in social interactions. Also, I noticed that my personality was coming back and the brain fog and head pressure had disappeared. I felt so clear headed and almost better than how I felt before hppd. After about a week, the intense euphoria settled down and the brain fog had started to come back, but not nearly as bad as before. However DP/DR, social anxiety, depression, and almost all emotional symptoms from HPPD has subsided. My personality was still there. The only thing that was bothering me was the brain fog and head pressure. So I decided to try Lamotrigine to combat the last of my symptoms. Within an hour of taking 25mg my brain fog and head pressure has subsided. I am only on day 2 so far of L, but I have made so much progress form where I was at last year, that I had to share. I feel almost 100% back to normal. I know how that sounds to you HPPDers, but I wouldn’t say it if it wasn’t COMPLETELY TRUE. Your brain is not perma fried or broken. There is a chemical imbalance and with the right meds. You can balance your brain out back to normal and 100% feel like yourself again. The only symptom that I am left with is minor visual snow, but maybe with more time on L, that will fade also. Also, the visual snow just doesn’t bother as much as before. I know how that sounds when ur at rock bottom with HPPD, but it is very strange what happens when ur chemicals are balanced in ur brain. It just not an issued anymore. To conclude, NEVER LOSE HOPE. Your current emotions are temporary and there are so many possible meds that can help. Take a step towards real medication and stay strong. You can FEEL BACK TO NORMAL. God bless you all.
  4. Hello guys, I am going to be making a new post about my status. Go there for more information. It could seriously change your life.
  5. Hello everyone, I finally have got my hands on a keppra prescription after spending hours reading about other people’s success with the drug. I struggle with DP/DR, brain fog, and head pressure (forehead). I don’t really have any visuals other then visual snow and floaters. No warping or moving objects. I will keep everyone posted on my progress.
