  1. Hey all, does anyone have anxiety and bad flare ups that has coped and in a better place with all of this? Could use someone to talk to and calm me down until my therapy appointment.
  2. Hey guys , here’s a little back story Okay so, when I was 17 I smoked weed with my friends and had a really bad high. I’m not sure if my severe anxiety of it or the weed actually brought on my visual snow syndrome or what but that’s when I started. My mom took me to all the docs and no one knew wtf this was esp 15 years ago (I’m 32 now) so finally a doc figured it out but there’s obv no cure or treatment so I’ve lived with it for 15 years. It was super mild, barely there but def still noticeable but I just lived my life normally, it was just my normal sight. So then 3 weeks ago when I got a migraine with aura it got really bad. The aura is always scary but having them so often when I was younger I didn’t panic. I had one 5 months ago and felt weird but my vision didn’t get back. Then this one I noticed 3 days later my snow was so bad. I look at the walls and they glitter, things shake, I feel like I’m in a bubble. My anxiety got so bad. I couldn’t eat, sleep, I was in a severe panic attack majority of the day. The doctor upped my Zoloft but that’s not kicked in yet. I started therapy so I’m hoping that helps me cope. I wake up every morning and dry heave because my nerves are so shot. I’m sleeping a tad better but the mornings are so bad for me. I have good days and bad. I know I have to cope and deal with this because it’s forever but I wish it would just go back down to baseline. The other night i has BAD heavy thick snow in the middle of the night but it went back down. Now I’m terrified it’s worse or getting worse. It’s very scary!! i feel like the last few days everything is heavier, the snow and the flickering around everything. Can I just be in a long flare up and the constant anxiety and OCD of checking for the vision is making it worse? If anyone can help me out it give advice I’d appreciate it ! Sorry for the long post
  3. I have not tried it yet. I have a regular doc apt tomorrow I’m going to ask her about it. Are you on it ?

  5. I’m sure it is my anxiety causing all of this. It’s a vicious cycle. I’m nervous and anxious because of the visual snow so it’s hard not to be scared and anxious to stop it! Hoping the short term Xanax helps
  6. I have been having horrible anxiety for a week. I wake up in a pure panic which I think is because after 14 years my visual snow has gotten worse. But idk if it’s from the anxiety or what? I do take Zoloft every day and started taking a low dose of Xanax to calm my nerves. Do you think my suddenly worsening is from my anxiety?
  7. Thank you! Have you ever experienced your symptoms have gotten worse out of nowhere? I’m not sure if it’s from my serve anxiety or just getting worse after 14 years.

  9. Hi everyone. This is my first time using a forum page for my HPPD. About 14 years ago I smoked a joint and it was laced with something. I had a horrible high. I started with extremely anxiety and HPPD symptoms . I have done all the test and labs and physically I am fine. My symptoms over time have stayed the same but I think my body just got used to them and I didn’t notice them as often. A few days ago I got a migraine with aura (which I am prone too but haven’t had in a while). I feel like my symptoms have worsened since. I am having awful anxiety right now and I’m wondering if that is what is making it worse. I have been on antidepressants since i was 17. My mom gave me 0.5 of Xanax to calm my nerves but I am nervous to take anything. Do you think it’s ok to take with my symptoms?
