It seemed to help for these 16, but then again hppd can go away on its own so it is hard to tell for sure if clonazepam sped things up. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12598822/

You mean chlorine gasses causing or aggravating hppd? No I haven't heard that but I have heard the fumes can be toxic in high enough concentration.

Therapy may help with HPPD. If someone has, for example, ocd then exposure therapy works by exposing someone to a fearful situation without the ability to perform the associated action that would provide relief. This is a form of applied behavioral therapy. Therapy likely can result in the growth of inhibitory neurons and help quiet an over active mind. There is information online that therapy improves intelligence. Like for example (although this isn't necessarily recommended for treating hppd as I don't know if it helps or not ) but lions main mushrooms act as a kappa opioid agonist, so they have a dysphoric short term effect but it also results in the growth of neurons. Although LM stimulates the brain in the short term, over the long term it can reduce anxiety. Also therapy helps with things like social phobia, schizophrenia, Alzheimer disease and helping someone concentrate during work. For some people with HPPD, visual symptoms may be accompanied by mild depersonalization symptoms without someone knowing they have mild depersonalization. They might just say they have anxiety disorder or something like that. Think of it like a sound guy trying to get sound through the speakers at an event: he might turn up one switch and turn down another switch to compensate, or there might be static or a feedback loop. Since different areas of the brain are connected: areas that process language, memories and social stations can have a strong impact on emotional stability. If someone is running from a bear they might not care or even notice that their feet are starting to hurt or something that. The brain has ways of turning down or activating different areas and emotion depending on the situation. If on the other hand someone is processing complex social situation, it may be necessary for the brain to tune out emotions in order to focus on other important but sublte things. There is also evidence that if you activate certain neurons, or practice certain thought patterns (say looking for beutiful things), those patterns get strengthened with time. Watching therapy and self help videos like the ones on Youtube may be helpful for decreasing hppd symptoms if they are done regularly for a long period of time (like say a couple hours every day for a week or longer). Healthy gamer GG has a lot of good videos such as this one on social anxiety: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n6lDNacfk0

No It should be fine. NAC is a antioxidant, which is generally thought of as being good for reducing inflammation and helping with various different types of metal disorders. The only things that I suspect can put someone back or slow recovery are taking other hallucinogens or similar recreational drugs like alcohol.

You probably have developed about all the tolerance to those medications that you will get by now if you have been taking them for a month or two. I don't know which drugs or amounts would work best so I can't help you with that. There are crisis lines you can call if you are suicidal or other people to talk to.

I don't think I would take more than one thing at the same time. Otherwise you may become addicted or there could be bad side effects (like if you don't ask a doctor beforehand). Other people might have ideas about which is best for hppd.

Are you eating healthy and getting enough fiber, avoiding alchhol etc? Anxiety can cause nausea but you may also have inflammation in your stomach that is making things worse. There are natural ways to get rid of H. Pylori infection for example which is very common and can be aggravated by stress. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5047973/ Green light therapy boost the endocannabinoid (anti-inflammitory) system, which may help with future headaches and nausea. Also I would take zinc and some niacin. Zinc and Niacin are shown to reduce nausea after alcohol consumption. Thiamine also may help as it has antioxidant potential. It can take a few weeks to get used to i though.

If there is a new antidepression drug the drug gets tested in clinical trials that might involve hundreds (or thousands) of people taking the drugs along with hundreds of people taking the placebo. Then through complicated statistical computations they can make a guess if the drug works and how effective it is. This is very expensive though and there are challenges to get good data for something that not very well understood like and difficult to figure out like hppd. We are just left with limited data quality data for drugs and hppd, but most of the data is either positive or neutral. Such as this: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12598822/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3736944/ Other drugs such as alcohol, nicotine and hallucinogens should be avoided. Other herbs like Saint Johns wort, could be useful but there isn't really any data at this point. On this forum, if someone symptoms get worse they are likely to blame pharm. type drugs if they are taking them, or if they have withdrawals however that could happen on it own without drugs. There is evidence that anti-depression drugs save lives, although for individual people it can aggravate depression or be ineffective.

Sure it could but I would quit coke and alcohol if you can.

Did you get it after taking hallucinogens?

Yes it looks fine to me. You could also speed up the timeline if you wanted. If you aren't getting strong withdrawal symptoms, that means your brain is adjusting neurotransmitter levels. You don't want to make any quick changes in neurotransmitter levels, but if you make a small one and wait a few days and if you don't notice any withdrawal symptoms you can reduce your dosage again.

It may be useful having the medications around for panic attacks. Some people with hppd only take medications, in the same way you are thinking about doing for panic attacks. I probably wouldn't take them regularly if your symptoms are tolerable and improving, but for some usage for flashbacks is fine. That is what I meant to say. Glad you are feeling better!

Seven days without flashbacks, on medication or without it? Are you talking about continuing the medication or starting? I don't think I would start taking it now if you feel fine most of the time, and your symptoms are generally mild. I think it would likely give you major withdrawal symptoms if you start taking it now.
