myrslingerbult Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Hi, everyone. My name is Erik and I live in Sweden. I got HPPD after a ridiculously horrible trip from spice in January this year, and this has totally ruined my life. I've dropped out of school due to all the symptoms and i don't see friends anymore. The worst symptoms for me is the depersonalisaton and that i can't think straight/clear. The fact that i can't live a normal life with my symptoms has made me really depressive and suicidal, even though i don't want this to stop me, i can't ignore the fact that i can't think as good as i did before. I would like to get in contact with other people from Sweden with HPPD, especially people who got it from spice and i'm interested in how their HPPD has developed over time. I've been taking Seroquel for several months because the doctors thought that i had a drug-induced psychosis... which were not the case (i had to find out that by myself), but i'm phasing out that medicine now. I'm thinking about trying either Keppra to ease my symptoms or Dr. Abraham's new treatment with a combination of two medicines. My interests are photagraphy, science, poetry, politics, computers and being with friends. Regard, Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrade Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Keppra or Tolcapone/Entacapone/Stalevo. Keppra is for epilepsy. And the other meds are for Parkinson's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried any of them? I've heard that some people get lesser symptoms when they take keppra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrade Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I have seen 2 or 3 people here touting Keppra with direct, 1st-hand experience. It makes sense theoretically and neuro-biologically. I've never taken it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morbide Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Välkommen Erik! Jag tar resten på engelska, you didn't experience any changes at all with Seroquel? From what i've understood, psychosis drugs can be a real killer for people with hppd, in a horrible way. // Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrslingerbult Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Hi Harry, nice to see more people from Sweden. No i didn't actually notice any difference at all with Seroquel. What drug did you get hppd from and how have your hppd developed over time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay1 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Welcome.... I think you are making the right choice coming off Seroquel. You might start to feel better without that. Personally speaking, I think you should avoid meds, for now, and see how you heal naturally. As always, my advice is to stop or cut down alcohol, stop smoking, eat healthy and exercise. hope things start getting better for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
