Hmm interesting. I was just wondering.. But yeah i know it's not always after a bad trip, but it often is isn't it? I really can't remember properly!

Firstly , i hope noone's offended by calling it a mental health issue, i just didn't really know what else to call it... I read on Dr. Abrahams site that all the people he had seen that got HPPD from any drug other than LSD all seemed to have previously existing problems with thier central nervous system in some ways, and i think that is some link to alot of mental health issues?

Yeah i've quit it all except for the odd half a cig, and that's only because i'm quitting smoking slowly, getting fucked is just not worth it. Also i went to the doctor today and told her everything and she just looked at me in a sort of 'why are you here' kind of way and said there was nothing she could do about it and then gave me a phone number for young people with anxiety to call |: very unhelpful! Should i get myself a psychiatrist then?

my symptoms seem to get well worse when im hungover, and last either a day or 2 depending on how much i had to drink. the anxiety is the worst really, i wouldnt mind the visuals too much if they didnt cause me to have such long and intense anxiety attacks,

yes it happens to me all too often, and occasonally eyes open in a dark room/ alleyway or something

Thankyou i guess i should have just been honest from the start about it really would have got fixed alot quicker probably haha

Oh and should i say that i think i know what it is as well, just to get her looking into it and skip alot of hassle, or will i just look like i'm lying? I'm not by the way Or perhaps i would be better with a psychiatrist or something? Someone a little more specialised in mental health and stuff like that. In people's experience what's the best type of person to go to?

Hi, i've just joined this site after reading alot of useful information thanks! I think it's very likely that i have HPPD based on what i've read, i was diagnosed with anxiety, as i told my doctor all my symptoms except for the visuals/objects feeling soft, similar to my acid trips. This is because i was under 18 at the time and i was quite sure my doctor was required to tell my parents. I have visual snow basically 24/7, things breathing, after images after staring at objects, text moves and starts to change colour when i read it, sometimes i struggle to tell the difference between 2 not that similar colours, patterns when looking at a plain wall, hairs on towels and such wiggling, things growing towards me or melting, general acid visuals/feelings basically, along with the usual HPPD added extras. Basically i was wondering what would be the best way to approach my doctor about this, explain to her why i was lying about it and hopefully get some sort of true diagnosis. And also whether to mention the different medications mentioned on here or might she be suspicious? It's ALOT harder to get prescribed things in the UK that in the US, especially for mental health problems i've noticed. Any one know what i should do?!
