MDMA caused my HPPD.. But hey man, whatever works for you!

Wow that's a lot of philosophical and metaphysical stuff there. That's not my specialty, haha. I just know that anyone who's a self-proclaimed guru is probably full of it. That said, a massage is always good for you. And drinking enough water as well. I don't think you need a "healer" to tell you that. I wouldn't worry too much on the physical symptoms.. My heart does weird stuff sometimes too. And I frequently have shallow breathing with an inability to breathe deeply. You just got to let it happen, instead of trying to change it. I know the anxiety can make that difficult, but just try to "let it be" every now and then. What helps me with the orthostatic hypotension is to do some push-ups every now and then. HPPD can cause you to lead a sedentary lifestyle (or so it does in me), which is one of the top causes for orthostatic hypotension. Just get some exercise. It doesn't have to be a lot. Just stand up from your chair every now and then, walk around a bit, do some stretches and some jumping jacks.. you get the point. Aside from Thrombosis (I think it was that), this is also one of the reasons why you've got to do some exercises every now and then when you're in an airplane. Anyway, don't stop your antibiotics without consulting your doctor.. You only had a few days left, right? Hehe I'm not exactly the best patient either, but I know that you shouldn't mess with antibiotics. Anxiety is always heart related by the way. Whether it's you heart causing anxiety, or vice versa. It's not just a one way street. And if you worry about your heart, then it'll probably increase your heart rate. Whenever my heart starts acting funky, I just do some exercises and feel better afterwards. But I have low blood pressure rather than high blood pressure, so my advice might not be accurate. And increased cerebral blood flow generally results in nootropic effects AFAIK. Probably it's a very ambiguous thing though. Your writing does seem to indicate you're feeling rather anxious. Try to mellow out a little, even if at first it may cause an increase in anxiety. Yoga, meditation, cup of tea, rain forest sound tracks.. Just give it a try. I like to lie on the floor and feel the cold and the pressure; it somehow calms me down. Are you on any other meds besides Cipro? BTW what's the full name of it? I remember reading something about it in another post of yours, but the memory deficits you know.. Easy on the Xanax mate.. One of the most addictive Benzo's IIRC. Best of luck!

Hey man. Use a bigger font if you're having trouble reading. Kind of hard to read an entire introduction without a single punctuation mark. Just some friendly advice I'd like to help you, but you got to be a bit more specific than "my doctor's basically an asshole". Anyway, all I can say for now is that if you're doctor is being unprofessional like that, then find another. Print out the DSM HPPD diagnosis page, and some other relevant studies (some of which you can find over at the Downloads section), for your next visit. So just a few questions: Are you currently on any medications? Do you have symptoms other than anxiety and visual distortions? How long have you had this? Try to relax (yeah that can be hard, I know). Abstain from all drug use (that includes Cannabis and Caffeïne). Drink tea instead of coffee. Tobacco doesn't really influence symptoms AFAIK, so that should be fine. Careful with Alcohol. Some people find it makes things a lot worse, others get temporary relief with minor exacerbation in the morning. Be diligent about having a healthy diet. You're not gonna die, and you won't go blind. Also, if you're willing to share what country you're in, some of us may be able to advise a doctor experienced in HPPD to you. From what I know there are some located in the US, the UK, Australia, and the Netherlands. Maybe Canada too, I don't know. Some elaboration would enable us to give you more specific advice. Good luck, Odisa.

Hey Sam, yeah here's what I threw together (mostly anecdotes of users though, many of which noticing moderate to extreme visual enhancement). Check here and especially here for why Coluracetam is most likely very awesome for HPPD. Let me grab my pharmacology book... In short: Coluracetam is a High-Affinity Choline Uptake (HACU) enhancer. From "Principles of Pharmacology, 3rd Edition". I have no clue if this is copyright infringement or whatever, but I figured it'd be fine 'cause you can find the same text over at Google eBooks. On a side note: Acetyl CoA synthesis occurs within the mitochondria, as such mitochondrial supporting supplements might synergize with Coluracetam. So basically Coluracetam enhances the biosynthesis of ACh, causing an increase in ACh levels. As the above links will show you; ACh suppresses the spread of excitation in the visual cortex. 'Nuff said, right? Ohh and apart from the visual benefits there's a number of other very interesting properties and effects, like excitotoxicity mitigation, anxiolysis, anti-depression, nootropic etc. that may be very beneficial to the common co-morbid symptoms of HPPD. You can read all about the experiences of people in the first link I provided. Lastly (this is a rather crude theory), HPPD seems eerily similar to Acute Anti-Cholinergic Syndrome, but then in a chronic way. If anti-cholinergics can cause HPPD-like symptoms, then there's a good chance than pro-cholinergics will do the opposite. Hmm I thought I had more to say about this, but my thoughts drifted. Anyway, there's sufficient information to indicate that Coluracetam has a very good chance at helping in HPPD.

I doubt this is HPPD mate. Everyone has floaters, and you say your VS is essentially inexistent, and you have slight tracers. DR/DP can cause visual disturbances as well. Unless you have other symptoms, it's highly unlikely this is HPPD. Generally speaking, HPPD is far worse than what you describe. From what I know cannabis can only "trigger" it, or exacerbate it, not actually cause it. There are only a few who claim cannabis actually caused their HPPD. Especially considering that you are absolutely sure it was unadulterated, it's very improbable that you have HPPD. Indeed maybe seeing a psychologist would help. It can be tough finding a good one though.. IME most tend to be idiots. I suggest you look into anxiolytic supplements and meditation as a start. All the best, Odisa.

I'd say step-wise the plan of action would be roughly as followed: Inventory of HPPD sufferers Inventory of those able and willing to contribute, and their skill-set+interests etc. Create a dynamic platform for those to communicate openly (well this forum is somewhat like that, but I mean a faster means of communication.. Like an IRC channel or a video-conference channel) Education. Collaborate to make an introductory guide to HPPD, from basics in lay-terms to neurological theories, etc. so that those who want to contribute have a single source of information, and don't have to go from one article to the next to understand the underlying mechanisms. I mean this forum is great for discussing theories, but it's all rather scattered and it can be time-consuming to start from scratch learning about HPPD. Some sort of HPPD-wiki would be great for this. I myself have played with the idea of making a new website for this purpose, but it's quite the task to complete by yourself. It could also have "The beginners guide to HPPD" with "Chapter 1: Fuck, I might have HPPD. What now?" which covers diagnosis, how to deal with doctors and family etc. To give you an idea, that is. Also, there could be a separate section for doctors and professionals, and maybe in collaboration with HPPD-experienced professionals it could encompass a clinical review of HPPD, and contact details for intercollegiate advise. Funding. Not to finance 3rd party researchers. They don't have an intrinsic incentive to research HPPD. No, the funding would be in the form of donations, and members of the community could then vote about how the money should be spent. Think website-hosting, accessing scholarly papers, of even a fund-raising for HPPD'ers without insurance so that they can try medication too. I know there are some who simply cannot financially afford treatment. Donations needn't be monetary per se. Those with programming skills could help with the digital side of things, those with free time could donate their time in educating themselves so that they in turn can improve the overall knowledge about HPPD. Those who are multi-lingual could help in translating texts so as to reach a larger audience. Money could also be collected to host some annual meeting for example. Those with skills in law could help avoiding the absurdities of the law (copyright nonsense and all that can be an obstacle). Those with financial skills could help in finances and setting up some form of non-profit organization. Those with skills in writing and journalism can contribute to media-awareness and conducting surveys. Those with multimedia skills can hep making educational video's for those who have trouble reading. Etc. etc. etc. You get the point. Anyone can contribute in their own way, not just by researching neuroscience, which for many is can be a confusing, daunting, boring subject. Something along the lines of that. The only hindrance I can think of is the fact that many with HPPD have debilitating co-morbid symptoms like cognitive dysfunction, which could be a bit difficult when trying to organize such things. Yet I believe those with HPPD are far more motivated than finding a solution than a researcher who can't imagine what it's like and might have conflicts of interest. As such, indeed "joining forces" is a good idea. The method of how to do so however is still open for debate. Another thing is that perhaps there aren't sufficient people interested to accomplish this. Moreover many of us have a hard time just getting through the day, let alone take on such a project. Also, by cooperating with drug-related websites (like Erowid for example), there would be more public awareness. People who first acquire HPPD won't have to google vague shit like "MDMA brain damage" or "distorted vision drugs" or "LSD reality change". Rather, those posting on drug-related forums inquiring about post-psychedelic issues will be more likely to be directed to the site because of it being part of the "network". Getting a well-written article in the Erowid newsletter, for example, could already help a quite a bit. Well, it's not perfect. Just a sketch really. But I think that would be far better than simply asking money for research.

Yep.. I feel ya. A few years ago I woke up in a hospital, not knowing how the hell I got there. And instead of telling me how I got there, the doctors tried to push me back into the bed (which freaked me out) and wouldn't let me go outside for a smoke, nor tell me what had happened. Apparently I almost punched a doctor and knocked another over, and walked into a sliding door trying to get out of there. I just wanted to have a smoke and get my head straight man! Turned out that the previous night, my brother and I were messing around outside a bar and we both slipped and hit our heads on the curb and we both had a concussion. And never did they think of that maybe I'd realize it would be best to lie down if I knew I had a concussion. Instead they scolded me for not cooperating, tried to force me back to bed, and ended up having to search for me. Well finally my brother found me outside, and he told me what happened and we both laughed our asses off and went back inside to get stitches. Well, totally different situation. But the not knowing part is what freaked me out then. After I knew, I just calmed down and we called a cab and went home.

I realized I hadn't responded to this. Sam93: Yes I do mean transcranial direct-current stimulation. The lack of improvement from BZD's needn't necessarily indicate you do not have hyperexcitability issues, as BZD's are not focal to a specific area. Rather, they inhibit total brain excitability, and as such it could be that the inhibition of afferent areas (such as those involved in the top-down modulation) is cancelling out any improvements. Inter-intracortical communication dysfunction is likely to be present indeed. Raising DA in the PFC has been shown to ameliorate HPPD symptoms. Alterations in the amygdala could have occurred from prolonged exposure to HPPD, I suppose. 415_STYLEE: AFAIK, there's no evidence to indicate that 5HT2a receptor hyperagonism is still present in HPPD. I think the "dream-like state" you're referring to is Oneirophrenia? Indeed quite on the philosophical side, haha. It seems like you're saying that acquiring HPPD is like opening Pandora's box, never to be closed again! A bit grim mate The only reason I can think of why "the doors of perception remain unhinged", would be the lack of research into HPPD! But that doesn't mean that it's not possible! Just that for the time being, we don't know how exactly. Damn I was gonna quote some awesome physicist, but I haven't really been listening to my brother (studies physics) with that much attention lately. Anyway, the only real way to know if it can be done, is after it has been done! Sorry for the short replies, I'm tired.

Any time man. Yup it's illegal here too I believe. Hehe. I thought the Netherlands was the only country where it was illegal.. Oh well. Good luck.

Hmm it's hard to compare. Phenibut helped me in social settings and to relax when alone, whereas benzo's help me to chill out when alone but they don't help in social settings for me. If anything I'd say somewhere in between Diazepam or Oxazepam and Alcohol. The only other benzo I've tried was Prazepam, and I didn't like it at all, and it's nothing like Phenibut. What helps to get a prescription: Do your research and print out relevant papers (have a look over at the Downloads section) If you're having issues with memory/anxiety, write down sound arguments (for example: Keppra is essentially harmless) and bring your notes with you Get an official diagnosis Refuse to take "no" for an answer Learn how to recognize incompetence in a doctor, and see a different doctor until you find one who is both competent and willing to help That's what helped me at least. AFAIK Keppra is more sustainable and safer than Sinemet, which is why I preferred it over Sinemet (and the doctors will too). I wouldn't know if HPPD is GABA-B receptor specific (haven't read anything that would indicate that). Phenibut helped with anxiety and DP/DR, but it didn't do much for visuals. Actually sometimes it made them worse, but the benefits outweighed that. I prefer Kava Kava over Phenibut though (less sedation and more clarity, also basically harmless stuff as opposed to Phenibut), but it's contraindicated with Keppra so I didn't buy more when I ran out. Anyway just be persistent and patient (yeah the latter can be tricky, I know), and you'll get what you need.

1) I tell myself that not only was it my mistake, it was also an environmental factor which played a role (the lack of drug education, nothing warned about HPPD, and the well-known inadequacy of society). I mean, how the hell was I supposed to know this shit was gonna happen? I don't think there's a single person on this forum that knew about HPPD and how much it sucked and just went "Ahh that won't happen to me, I'll just drop some -insert psychedelic here- anyway despite these stories of ruined lives". It's not like they give you neuroscience 101 in high-school either (they fucking should). So keeping the environmental influences in mind, it's not "all my fault". Other than that I eventually decided: "Well fuck. This is how it's gonna be now, and it's unacceptable." So I research the hell out of it, hoping to make a contribution to finding a proper treatment or cure some day. I mean if I can't live a happy life, I might as well live a useful life. Besides, many people hurt themselves in other ways and get passed it as well. I didn't blame myself when I abused myself with a cocaine addiction. I just moved the fuck on and never looked back, and was very happy for a long time thereafter. Only difference was that I could, because I didn't have any long-lasting effects after discontinuation, unlike now. As you say, your life is a "passable life". The only way to deal with the knowledge that you've royally fucked yourself (IMO) is to not settle for anything less than being unfucked and feeling normal. In that way, the knowledge that you're doing the best you can in this situation to recover from your mistake, cancels out the knowledge that you fucked up and are living with the consequences. Or that's how I live with it. 2) That really depends man. For me, I can't take 2 puffs without going totally paranoid and pre-psychotic-ish (few months ago I saw fucking deer-shaped shadows jumping over the bridge). If you're like me and can't stand pot anymore (I used to be a chronic smoker when I was young, freaking loved the herb), then find an alternative. Safe things like Kava Kava for example (idk about interactions with Clonazepam though). Just you know, do some research before trying stuff (i.e. don't just go "Hey, Salvia! I've heard of this stuff, let me try it!" only to afterwards find out it can worsen HPPD). Try finding other ways to boost your creativity. There are plenty of supplements and nootropics reported to do so, and IIRC even tDCS has been used to boost creativity. Like you said yourself: "Damn, I've been through hell and back". Well for me at least I've been through hell and back to the heavens, beyond, and whatever you can think of, back to hell again. Yet of all the worst things I've experienced in my life, the most tedious battles have been within my own mind; something few people can understand. I've been homeless, broke, sick, near-death etc. yet all those things combined couldn't even get close to how hard HPPD can be. Well being homeless was actually quite fun whilst it lasted, but nonetheless. I think we can all agree here that anyone who survives or endures HPPD has an exceptionally strong spirit (unlike what many ignorant fools may comment about HPPD). What keeps me going often is just thinking about how I'll feel about myself when I fully recover from this, be it tomorrow or in 20 years. I can't imagine anything worse than HPPD, so once I'm free I can't help but think of how everything will be such less of a drama in comparison. Hell, I'd probably think torture would be a walk in the park if it were ever to happen to me post-HPPD (hehe might be exaggerating there). Not to say that I have everything in perspective though. Many days I feel like I'd be better of dead, but I just think about the above and how I've come to far to give up now, and it helps. Well that may have just all been excessive rambling, but hopefully you can comprise something useful out of that. Welcome to the forum, Odisa P.S. What kind of brain-scan did you get? MRI's for example can't show abnormalities that are usually present in HPPD, afaik. Ohh and to put things in perspective: Not finding any brain abnormalities was a relief for you? Wouldn't it be more relieving to find brain abnormalities instead? Cause then you know it has a chance of being fixed. Or so I think about it.

Yeah it's basically a matter of being strict, like Syntheso said. I have no experience with Clonazepam, but I used to use Phenibut (basically an OTC benzo) for my "day off". Usually I'd limit this to every Sunday. Sometimes I did 2 days in a row or a higher dose, but I quickly learned that that just made things worse and tolerance would build, accompanied by a "hangover". The first time was the best, after that it never really did the trick as good. Eventually I just threw the stuff out though, cause my shrink was bitching about it and actually proposed that Phenibut was causing my HPPD. Post-Freudian retards.. sigh. Nowadays I just keep an Oxazepam in my wallet might I ever find I need it, but I haven't felt the need for it despite the seeming temptation. I guess it's just knowing that I have one there in case I would go totally ape-shit, is reassuring by itself. So I'd suggest you kind of keep it as a last resort really, or limit use as much as possible. Are you looking into other (more sustainable) treatment options in the meantime? Cheers.

Well good to hear it's helping you! Your effects sounds similar to what I experienced with Keppra so far. For me, that's not nearly enough though. Anyway just wanted to say: consider Modafinil and/or Guanfacine (or even tDCS) for your ADHD first mate. Methylphenidate, from what I know, isn't too great. Cheers.

Mwe I can't see how DβHD would be related.. Cause anxiety is rather common, along with symptoms that would indicate sympathetic hyperactivity rather than hypoactivity. Personally I think the orthostatic hypotension is just a side-effect from doing absolutely jack-shit nothing with my life, but idk what's causing it in others. Hypovolemia would be far more logical than DβHD as a cause, or so I would presume. Going blind can happen with an extreme episode (i've had that a few times as well with orthostatic hypotension): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthostatic_hypotension#Signs_and_symptoms Nothing to worry about I suppose.

So just to show the similarities.. Bolded text is what I personally have (either chronic or not). Possible effects of anticholinergics include: Ataxia; loss of coordination Decreased mucus production in the nose and throat; consequent dry, sore throat Xerostomia or dry-mouth (n.b. could be due to my smoking habits) with possible acceleration of dental caries Cessation of perspiration; consequent decreased epidermal thermal dissipation leading to warm, blotchy, or red skin Increased body temperature Pupil dilation (mydriasis); consequent sensitivity to bright light (photophobia) Loss of accommodation (loss of focusing ability, blurred vision – cycloplegia) Double-vision (diplopia) Increased heart rate (tachycardia) Tendency to be easily startled Urinary retention Diminished bowel movement, sometimes ileus (decreases motility via the vagus nerve) Increased intraocular pressure; dangerous for people with narrow-angle glaucoma Shaking Possible effects in the central nervous system resemble those associated with delirium, and may include: Confusion Disorientation Agitation Euphoria or dysphoria Respiratory depression Memory problems Inability to concentrate Wandering thoughts; inability to sustain a train of thought Incoherent speech Irritability Mental confusion (brain fog) Wakeful myoclonic jerking Unusual sensitivity to sudden sounds Illogical thinking Photophobia Visual disturbances Periodic flashes of light Periodic changes in visual field Visual snow Restricted or "tunnel vision" Visual, auditory, or other sensory hallucinations Warping or waving of surfaces and edges Textured surfaces "Dancing" lines; "spiders", insects; form constants Lifelike objects indistinguishable from reality Hallucinated presence of people not actually there Rarely: seizures, coma, and death Orthostatic hypotension (sudden dropping of systolic blood pressure when standing up suddenly) and significantly increased risk of falls in the elderly population.

There are plenty without doctors (tends to increase your odds). Though there are fewer without medicine. But there have been people with HPPD subsiding over the course of months or years to the point of normalcy.

Certain diseases may lie dormant for years (like Lyme) before being triggered by another event. There's no plausible reason why this couldn't be the case with HPPD. That said though, it seems like you have had quite a medical history there. IV steroids could have lead to some of your symptoms. Anesthesia is sometimes done (in concurrence) with anti-cholinergics, which are known to exhibit HPPD-like symptoms. Scopolamine seems to be popular, but should rather be avoided at all costs. What medications are you currently on? These could also be contributing to your symptoms. Along with your Encephalitis I'd say it be a good idea to rule out TBE. Lupus seems to be one of those things that doctors bring up when they've no clue what you have. Anyway, knowing your current medication would help in helping you. All the best.

Recently I've (finally) found some good movies. In no particular order: Instinct (1999) (very intriguing) Into the White (about 2 British and 3 German soldiers who crash in the middle of nowhere and have to share a hut to survive) Kon-Tiki (about some guys who prove that rafting from.. I think it was Columbia or something, to Polynesië can be done) The Way Back (about prisoners who escape a war camp in Siberia who flee to India on foot) The Rum Diary (from Hunter Thompson.. the same guy who brought you Fear&Loathing in Las Vegas) Oh brother, where art thou? (not too great, but funny nonetheless..) Documentaries: Trom Documentary: www.tromsite.org (13-hour documentary.. really liked that one) The following are available at www.topdocumentaryfilms.com for free: Beyond Thought My Penis and Everybody Else's (ironically the guy has some cajones to produce that film) The Perfect Vagina (similar concept to the above) Permaculture: A quiet revolution (self-sustaining ecosystems) The Buddha ('nuff said) Now I'm definitely forgetting some.. I'll add more if I remember any.

Hmm I don't know if this is confirmation bias talking or not, but this happened to me last night. I took 5mgs of melatonin, which is probably the culprit. Melatonin does some weird shit to your sleep sometimes. Other times it's like you took nothing. What I mean by those seizure-like episodes is.. Hmm some kind of oneirophrenic state in which I can feel my entire body shaking uncontrollably and I start making "zjjjjeh" sounds with my mouth (yeah.. like actual seizures), yet I'm not fully conscious/lucid so I can't confirm whether it was just a dream or not. As such I've disregarded it really. On the rare occasion that it actually does occur. this happens right before I fall asleep or right before I wake up. It might also just be some residual nightmares of that psychotic episode I once had, which I sadly still remember (unlike most cases of psychosis). I couldn't control my body or my speech, and maybe the dreams are some emotional outing of that still bothering me. It wouldn't surprise me.. was the scariest shit I've ever been through.. No amount of bad trips can amount to that IMO.

Must-be: No.. Homeopathy is about diluting a substance to a ratio where it is highly unlikely to have a single molecule present in a dose.. Quackery. What syntheso is talking about is also known as "micro-dosing", quite common among the psychedelic community. These are dosages sub-threshold to a dosage required for tripping, yet are still active and able to produce noticeable effects.

Syntheso: No man not a stupid question. Actually your questions are pretty good! Yes there is some evidence that psychedelics screw with the visual cortex... mate I just woke up so I'm not gonna go searching just yet. But it has been discussed on this forum, so I might add some links later after I've shaken off this oneirophrenic melatonin "hangover". I wouldn't know if Coluracetam has benefits for the Visual Cortex. It would seem so, if you put together the pieces of the puzzle (see my 2 latest additions to Research Articles). But there's no evidence for that. Moreover it works throughout the entire CNS (or so I would presume.. no reason why it would be limited to one area as of yet). If you're concerned about losing the good side of your psych, then see if you can sneak around that and just go to your GP with this. No professional will actually prescribe the stuff, which is why all you ask for is for them to be informed and to monitor you. Must-be: Yeah definitely check it out with your doctor. I'm also gonna discuss it with the specialist I'm seeing, but ultimately it's up to the individual of course. And the doctor might not know about it and advise against it (most likely that is). It's just the metabolization part that raises some questions really... Other safety issues might be allergies (if you're sensitive to those). To check for allergies just do a test with 1mg or so under the tongue and see if it burns, swells or w/e after having sat there for a while. Aside from that there's absolutely no need to worry about the stuff. If you still do, just make sure you're with someone who you trust and is informed for those few days you try it. Write down on a note what medicines you are taking and how much, and elaborate on the Coluracetam what it is (it won't mean shit to a medic unless you write down its mechanisms), and keep the note with your cards in your wallet (and see if you can have your doc punch it in to your medical file). Or so I've planned my precautions roughly. But yeah: if only I had polydactyly so I could cross more fingers! Thanks for the good wishes

Fucking retard student neighbors partying till so fucking late with their shitty mainstream music, fucking country that's so crammed you can't have a single minute of silence, fucking can't get no sleep cause of this shit. Well at least the melatonin is helping with the frustration (desperately needed relief from that), but I still can't sleep and I got nothing to do... Just pissed off living in this idiotic environment packed with ignorant fools and fake people. I miss my home..

Hehe I'll be very trying it very soon It better be a panacea.. It's got "perfect" written all over it. Seriously.. If Colu doesn't work, I don't know if anything ever will. The stuff is hard to get, and AFAIK there are only a handful of people who have tried it on this planet, none of which have HPPD. Of note is that it has helped with Lyme Disease recovery and Benzo Withdrawal in anecdotes. I remember someone on this board with concurrent Lyme, and many of you also have issues with BZD WD, so thought it'd be worth mentioning. Damn I'm so excited about this stuff In any case it should be available from 2 different suppliers (one UK based, the other US based) within days, weeks at most. And it comes with EMS shipping IIRC. So in all I speculate I'll have it within 2 weeks tops, preferably sooner of course. I've got this stuff on my radar like a hawk, so I'll inform you guys a.s.a.p. when it comes available. It should be quite affordable once it does. Disclaimer: Coluracetam is a research chemical. It's metabolization is unknown (or undisclosed), and as such medication interactions are unpredictable aside from cholinergic speculations. Best would be to use it without anything concurrently. Remember: your life, your responsibility. Just use common sense and research the best you can when undertaking such radical approaches. Best you wait it out a little for me to try and report back though, yet if you're feeling assertive I'd say go for it. Seems pretty darn safe from what I've read. Just you know.. "It wasn't me".

I've had this a few times.. Like feeling totally stuck in your body right? Also sometimes in my sleep I've had these weird episodes that are not unlike seizures.. Worst was when I took a lot of Tramadol. But I never really know if it happened because it just feels like a dream mostly. Also sometimes I somehow see "through" my eyelids and I just hallucinate that I'm in a totally different room with distinct object and everything. Fucking weird shit. Anyway all these things are quite rare, but I have experienced them. I used to get scared of weird shit going on in my body and mind, nowadays I just think: yeah.. whatever. must be HPPD related. I've also I passed out from orthostatic hypotension on to the ground twitiching, and just got back up like nothing happened and continued what I was doing. Honestly I'm just a lot less concerned when weird things like that happen. I remember a few years ago before HPPD I once had my heart racing a mile a minute and I went blind and deaf for 2 minutes or so (after some vigorous and lengthy time on a mechanical winch pulling up this ancient anchor), which freaked the hell out of me for quite some time thereafter. If that were to happen to me now, I'd probably just accept it for what it was and not really worry so much. It's just fucking irritating when people get all worried and ask if you're okay even when they KNOW that you get weird shit like that and that it's no cause for concern (my mother still pulls a "I'm gonna shit my pants" face whenever I get orthostatic hypotension, even though this has been happening daily for a year now). Hmm.. seems I've been swearing more lately.. Must be the insomnia getting to me. Apologies.

Nope no problems here. What browser do you use?
