Hannahb00 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Hello, I suffered terribly bad from Hppd from the ages of 16-21. I was SO depressed I wanted to die and every time I wokeup in the mornings I would keep my eyes closed tight and pray to god that I would be able to see normally !! I would open my eyes with caution…and when the “flashbacks” would begin I would just break down. I am posting this to let you all know or anyone suffering from this that I am 22 now, have been totally clean and sober for one year (a little over) and am on Lamictal/Prozac 50MG;; and my HPPD has seemingly disappeared. To anyone out there suffering from this take a deep breathe and know that it is temporary. A temporary hell yes but it will end. In my experience and advice to you please stop using and allow your brain to heal! Reading helped me a lot for some reason… Don’t give up hope!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbellamy09 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Time heals for some others it doesn't. Not everyone's HPPD is the same.A few people have had this for 20+ years med's are the only way to cope. Actually really awesome to hear stories like yours though.
