LethargicAcid Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I have a theory that HPPD is a sort of PTSD from using mind-expanding drugs. Since all of us seem to get it from a bad trip. And this is the only negative effect from psychedelics (other than psychosis) So we get a bad trip, get PTSD meaning our brain hasnt processed the trauma, so we still get visuals. I think im gonna make a youtube video about it or something. Does anyone agree? disagree? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGman6072 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I had like 2 uncomfortable trips on LSD so I guess those are considered bad trips. Post a link to the video if you post it. What is your YouTube channel called ? Link ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay1 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 What about people who get it from MDMA? Or SSRIs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolAr Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 yeah this is kind of intresting theory... Do all people that have HPPD get it post a bad trip..? Maybe it has something to do with a bad trip being so tramatic... that it all gets pushed into the sub-conscious.. Its kind of knowen that, when a person undergoes extreem trauma, they do everything they can to try and avoid it. In the act of trying to avoid it, they are actually focusing on it again and possibly re-experiencing on some level.. Maybe this is part of the mecahnism bethid PTSD..

Jay1 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I never had a bad trip, I had some very strange and occasionally scary parts to a trip, but no freak outs like I have seen other people have. Possibly the sensory overload of a good/normal trip could actually produce some kind of PTSD though... I still think chemical inbalance or receptor damage seem more likely though.

LethargicAcid Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 can u guys please describe your trips that gave you HPPD? -fear?, etc.. -dissociation? -feeling like ur not in reality (i had all 3 of those, extremely intense fear.

TheGman6072 Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 I don't know which trip it was lol since I was doing LSD a lot and sometimes shrooms from January 2014 to June 2014 but I noticed the visuals and inability to think or process things right after my last trip of that school year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
