i tried lamotrigine but got severe ear worms that distracted me from just talking to people or reading. keppra is basically my last option. 

Whether with medication or time. Need some hope

I got hppd (visual snow syndrome symptoms only) after taking an edible and having a panic attack during the high. This was in November 2022, I got severe brain fog and dpdr December 2022, and visual symptoms January 2022.

Now it's October 2023 and I have had improvement in my depersonalization, but not my visuals, derealization, or severe brain fog. My worst symptoms are mental ones as I'm so slow it's hell on earth, I don't care about my visuals anymore. 

Does this post mean that my mental symptoms could be permanent? It makes me so depressed knowing I could've destroyed my entire life and future with an edible. The most important thing to me was my cognition and now my memory is so bad I can hardly remember something from a few hours ago, literally feels like theres a fog/wall in the way. Thinking about staying in this zombie state forever makes me suicidal:( 

Not sure if you'll see this cjb007, but we have similar stories. I am 15 and have had constant dpdr and hppd (vss symptoms) for almost 10 months after an edible. I don't care about hppd, only my dpdr. Did yours ever leave? 

My dpdr is mild so I have 0 anxiety surrounding it. I've had no anxiety for 9 months yet it is still here and hasn't changed in severity. Is medication the only potential way or can it leave naturally? 

Was on lamotrigine 50mg and just after 3 days noticed a visual reduction of around 30-40%. Unfortunately I had to get off of it because I developed a rash, but this medication can be worth it to anyone else:)

I've been on 25mg lamotrigine for 4 days now. No noticeable change to my mental symptoms, my mild visuals worsened a little bit but I don't care since they're so light
