  1. A year and a half i was started to take 0.5 mg everyday. Before that, i was taken 0.5 3 times a week, with heavy emotional imbalances. So far i dont build any tolerance , my 'lineal thinking' is better and i only see heavy trails when im very tired (or with a bad hangover) and dp-dr is anoying but isnt a terror like before. Obviously, i have good and bad days like everybody. Recently i feel a little worried about build tolerance but i know some people who have never had to increase their dose and are taking klono for several years, so....

    anyway last weekend i taked 1mg and it really knocks me out like a bottle of vodka :D

  2. Months ago, when I used to take klonopin occasionally i suffered from major mood swings that produced that kind of suicidal thoughts (HPPD isnt my only problem: D). But when i start taking a low dose those thoughts were disappearing regularly. My fear now is to develop tolerance, something that hasnt happened yet.

    How long are you taking klonopin and what is the dose?

  3. Just make sure your friends don't require you to get drunk in order to hang with them

    That's a good point... At the beginning of the disorder my friends didnt really understand what was happening with me, so they reduced their alcohol intake and the few who smoke weed stopped. That helped me a lot to not be "tempted". So I am very grateful with my friends.

    Of course we want a cure, but set a timer and limit the time you spend on it

    Exactly... months ago i was very frustrated about the hole thing but now i think that the best weapon we have is acceptance and moving on (at the same time i cant understand that months ago :D). Its another type of fight with this.

  4. I have it before the "crash".

    My trip was extremely strong and I'm sure that the thought of "oh no how long i will be in this world" leaked in my unconscious. My job is very stressful, so I have no choice to adapt to the circumstances. Before hppd i was quite misanthrope and reluctant to socialize, so i put myself in 'social new situations' like a kind of therapy. Face the fear.

  5. I have had something similar when my hppd start. But it was an effect of the fear of die by a "brain tumor" etc... The loss of sense of balance was disappeared two weeks later, but sometimes when im very tired, comes back, but its more a light "lack of orientation".

    Meadow: what kind of med did you take several weeks ago? Maybe its some kind of side effect, but you need to see a doctor. Loss of sense of balance could be anything.. an infection in the ear...or your minds playing tricks with you etc.

  6. Nice words visual.... i was a kind of heavy drinker pre-hppd. For some time i was very scared to drink on benzo's but now i think i can control the situation. Benzo's are very low and drink some beer with my friends works really well, it helps me to understand that im still a person, not a ghost and i can do anything...okey thats not 100% exactly, no more drugs :D.

  7. The idea of ​​replacing the klonopin with something like the cbd is attractive to me. However for those who dont see a relationship between cannabis and HPPD, do not forget that there are a lot of people suffering from DP-DR by cannabis. Something that I think is another "branch" of HPPD.

    On the third day of have fully developed this disorder i remember having smoked a small amount of weed and was a very frightening experience (no more drugs since then). But everyone is different....

  8. I'veen taked sinemet with no positive results. The only thing at the moment that gives me some relief is klonopin, but time is a big healer. Im a lot better than a year ago (when hppd started). I want to try keppra and other meds, but im really "new" in this world, so maybe the best is wait a little more and see what happens.

    Thanks for sharing your story

  9. mgrade: i have something to report about cortisol ... I was sick last week and i consume for several days 4mg of vitamin c (every day). Once cured the cold I kept doing it and notice a big difference, emotionally (less anxiety) and some visual (now I see only one moon!, when i looked before 1 1/2! Sunsets also looks better: D ).

    The only explanation (i think) is the large amounts of vitamin C that I take in the morning (along with omega 3 and glutamine) lower down some cortisol levels. Also, my dose of klonopin isnt change and is the only med i take.

    By the way, very interesting your last theory
