hppdvision Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hey guys, I just discovered this forum after I realized I have HPPD and I really would like your opinions on some things. Here is the whole story, sorry if its a tad long but I want to give all the details so you guys can give me a relevant response. So, about 2 and a half months ago I tripped LSD with my friend. This was my second time doing it, and I haven't done/don't do any drugs other than smoking weed. This trip was a lot more powerful than the first, but it was fun and crazy, with a lot of open eye visuals and closed as well. A few days after the trip I consciously noticed that something was different with my vision. I was getting graininess in the dark and looking at black, just like noise on a digital camera sensor. That was my immediate comparison because I shoot a lot of photos and it looked exactly like a sensor creating visual noise in low light environments. 2 weeks after I started noticing a decrease in my vision, at first minor but by 4 weeks it was definitely worse. At this point I got glasses, and I can see fine now, so thats not really a big deal. Besides my visual noise I also have floaters when I look at the sky, definitely more than what I remember pre - second trip, and also sometimes a slight aura or halo around lights in the dark, and incoming car headlights bother me a bit more than before. So overall my symptoms seem to be a bit more than mild. The visual noise I tend to notice in dark environments and when looking at my computer screen a lot ( I code) it seems to not be an even color, but nothing is moving around. Its just...different. After the second LSD trip and my notice of HPPD I have continued to smoke weed, every other day or every day. After reading on the internet for 2 hours today on the topic I decided to ask you guys what you think I should do next, and can my symptoms improve? Oh and I have noticed that while im high the visual snow is a bit worse.Basically, A) Do you think I fucked myself by continuing to smoke? B ) If I stop all marijuana use can I start to see a recovery over time? C) What is your experience with smoking and HPPD, and also quitting smoking and HPPD improvements?I would really appreciate ANY feedback, as this is quite a weird subject with not that much concrete information. After all the reading I have done, I am thankful that my symptoms are not as bad as other people are reporting, and I am not feeling depressed, anxious, or detached from reality, but I still do notice it sometimes and it is annoying and almost a tad depressing. Thanks for any help in advance guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellen Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I'd quit smoking weed. You said yourself it makes it worse. I can not smoke as it my vs way way worse and it also makes me insane. Definitely stay off any psychedelics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brake Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Yeah if you quit smoking you should be fine. Definitely quit psychedelics as well. Over time you should see improvements. Its possible you will need more than a month though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I am definitely staying away from psychedelics, they are cool drugs but its not worth the risk to me just to have some fun trips, even though they can be enlightening. I already got a crazy perception of what life is as I know it last time so i'm satisfied with my spiritual knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brake Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 You don`t need drugs to have fun, feel good, be creative, or be spiritual. I wish I was more aware of that prior to HPPD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
