  1. Did anyone have negative effects on their HPPD?
  2. Did anyone try this med? It doesn’t seems to target 5-HT2A so looks like it might not affect HPPD negatively?
  3. @Jayjoe Thanks for they reply! Seems like my sleeping problems are a bit different from the ones you had. I used to have hypnagogic hallucinations, almost feeling psychotic during night, severe Insomnia etc. It seems like it has gotten a bit better but I still struggle to sleep most night and have very vivid dreams and feels like no deep sleep. Currently relying on sleep meds to be able to sleep.. I agree on the therapy part! I did ayhauaca because I thought it could make me feel better but now I feel worse than before. Of course it’s always a risk but I had no idea about HPPD
  4. @Hall89 how long did it take for the nights to improve? I’m 3 months in..it has gotten better but I still struggle with the sleep and have very vivid dreams
  5. Hi Jayjoe! Glad you are doing better! Did you have any difficulties sleeping? And if so how long did it last for? I have had troubles sleeping for 3 months now and I’m deperate to get my sleep back. I haven’t tired anything for sleep yet because I’m a bit scared to do so since I’ve got very weird reactions to medicines since this started..any recommendations?
  6. @James91 I’m sorry to hear that! Did you try any sleeping meds that helped you? I’m a bit desperate, can’t focus at work any longer and need to call in sick soon. I’m starting to wonder if I also have some kind of underlying issue such as MCAS. I drank a glas of wine yesterday and I’ve been hyperactive the whole night, only been able to sleep 2 hours most nights I can sleep at least 5 hours. I’ve been a bit sensitive to histamine in the past so I’m wondering if MCAS was triggered by drinking ayahuasca..
  7. Thanks! I’m not too worried about visual changes, I’m more scared of getting an hallucination (on promethazine I got paranoid and thought it was a monster in my bedroom). No one can tell how I will react of course, I need to try myself
  8. Hi @James91! How long did you have HPPD for and did your sleep get better? I have very mild visual dusturbances, the Insomnia and anxiety is by far the worse symtoms. This started 2,5 months ago so I’m still hoping it can get better..
  9. Hi Jay! Thank you for taking your time to reply, I’m really desperate over here and feel like I’ve ruined my life can’t concentrate at work and I’m so worried I will never be able to sleep properly again. I did try melatonin for a short while when this started but didn’t notice a difference. But maybe I should try it again but for a bit longer as you mentioned! Regarding zopiclone I was actually thinking about that one since I understood it’s not as heavy as benzos. Do you know about the risk of hallucinating on those when having HPPD? Seems like I am very sensitive (only did psychadelics once) and that my brain is stuck in some kind of hallucination mode since I even got these scary hallucinations after taking antihistamines that the doctor said are very light and even pregnant women can use them..
  10. Hi everyone! New here and need some advice. I drank ayahuasca in the middle of November and about 5-6 weeks later I started to have sleep disturbances. At first i had really intense hypnagogic hallucinations, coudnt fall asleep at night, got stuck in some kind of inbetween wakefullness and sleep, could here my own thoughts living their own life in the mornings, felt like my eyes were open when they were closed etc. I also had/have severe anxiety. I read about HPPD but didn’t think it was that at first since I didn’t have any visual disturbances (I also have headache and slight tinnitus on one ear by the way). I went to the doctor and got promethazine and sleept good three days in a row but on the fourth night when I took a break I woke up and hallucinated. I immediately stopped and the sleep has gotten somewhat better since then (no hypnagogia and weird thoughts), I easily fall asleep at night now but the problem is I have constant wakeups every hour and I sleep around 5 hours a night. I also feel very anxious and stressed during night. I started noticing some visuals the past month such as floaters, blurred visions, slight halos and starburst around light and mild after images after looking at a screen. I’m lucky the visual part is mild but the insomnia I’ve now had for 2,5 months is killing me and it has started to affect my job and ability to focus. I’ve tried a lot of different supplements but nothing seems to help in the long run. It’s like my body is on full speed all the time and even if I sleep poorly I can do really intense work outs without getting tired. I would prefer to get through this without medicine but I’m afraid the Insomnia will last a long time If I don’t do anything about it. Do you guys have any recommendations on sleeping meds that works fine with HPPD? Or any other medicine I could try take short term to just calm my brain down I bit? Or do you think I should I just wait it out? I’ve seen some people recommending abstaining from meds if possible. I really don’t want to become dependent on anything but this is really starting to affect my life in a negative way so I’m a bit desperate. Thanks!
