psylaurj Posted April 1, 2015 Report Posted April 1, 2015 Does anyone has a shock inside the head? I feel this is bad.. I'm new here.. I dont know where else I could get help. I have had this a long time and i eat lamotrigin 100mg and klonopin 0,5mg 3 x in day. i have pressure in my head and i see lots of things. micropsia and macropsia, visuals, afterimages, and i see star flights all the time.. is this hppd? I had received a serotonin syndrome a year ago and then i ate mushrooms, cubensis. not a much..
Shadowplay Posted April 1, 2015 Report Posted April 1, 2015 I don't know, but I know that a daily use of clonazepam can fuck your head up and give you worse visual side-effects then HPPD itself.
Merkan Posted April 1, 2015 Report Posted April 1, 2015 I don't know, but I know that a daily use of clonazepam can fuck your head up and give you worse visual side-effects then HPPD itself.As for withdrawal, yes.But op have HPPD indeed and the shocks has to do with the serotonin inbalance that comes with HPPD. I still get that at bad times and always has since HPPD started.
Jay1 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 the only time I have suffered these sort of shocks is when coming off Keppra too quickly, so this may be related to your anti-convulsant
Shadowplay Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 Well Clonazepam effects the serotonin levels as well doesn't it? I doubt that these "shocks" are from an anti-convulsant or just plain from HPPD itself, but from Clonazepam as this is the only medication that is interferring with serotonin levels where there are a lot of reports on this from SSRI-usage. I'm sure it's possible that it can be related to the anti-convulsant but I haven't read anything about these kind of side-effects. If it would be the case, it would be more rare than from Clonazepam usage.

I had received a serotonin syndrome a year ago and then i ate mushrooms, cubensis. not a much.. do you take any ssri's? i had these "brain shocks" about 3 years ago a few months before i actually got hppd, and i believe its ssri discontinuation syndrome (i wasnt on anti-depressents but the symptoms are so similar, look it up), the shocks subsided after a 2 weeks and never had them again, so you should be good http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antidepressant_discontinuation_syndrome
