Gaz Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 I'm just curious. When did you first notice signs of your hppd issues? Straight after your trip or did it start a period of time after your drug use? Mine started about 4-6 weeks after a bad trip. I'm just worried I have neurological damage because it says online that neurological damage can be delayed, after exposure to a neurotoxin.

K.B.Fante Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 As far as I understand most people get HPPD within a few days to a week after taking the drugs. It took me about three days before it kicked in. And I definitely knew it. I just woke up one morning and everything in my room was moving like I was still tripping. Your case seems a bit different. I don't know about neurological damage. Perhaps you should consult a neurologist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanuttiest Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 It does seem to usually start within a week, but I have certainly heard of folks experiencing delayed onset...especially if marijuana is involved (even second hand). Could that be the case for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Well mine actually started right after I took a decongestant nasal allergy spray for a blocked ear that was prescribed by my doctor. It's as if the bad trip was the gunpowder and this allergy spray was the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trip into hell Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 did you try any other drug after your trip and before you used the allergy medication? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted December 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 No I didn't. I just had a moderate dose of research chemical powder BK-2CB. I think the bad trip has put me off for life. I checked the allergy nasal spray yesterday to check the ingredients and it does contain Diphenhydramine which may have triggered my problems. I would happily have put up with a blocked ear if I knew it would cause these problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
256 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 It seems to me like there are 2 types of HPPD, the instantaneous HPPD where you never really come down from your trip and the delayed HPPD that seems pretty prevelant on this forum. I have the former from supposed LSD but I can get more from the same guy I think I'll have it sent to a lab to see what it really was. Definitlely not gonna take it lol.

Thank God I don't have bad allergies knock on wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God I don't have bad allergies knock on wood. it might be..since thegman has also caused his hppd by diphenhydramine.. but we shouldnt forget that Gaz said he didnt do any other drug instead of diphenhydramine after his trip..so it could also be possible that whatever stimulant or mind altering substance you use after a bad trip is a potential hppd trigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitlely not gonna take it lol. i had mine directly after my overdosed (8g mushrooms) extreme badtrip and it went away after almost 5 month...so this theory is not true when it comes to me and if you want to test for substances i think you can buy testers online...

Granite Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Fascinating about the allergy medications.. I thought I was all alone on that. I started having problems with hives. When I took antihistamines to treat them, it only made my hives worse and cover my body. That's when I discovered drinking alcohol remedied the hives for me. But, since then I haven't been able to tolerate anything related to allergy medications.. In fact, it was a combination of nasal steroids (Flonase) and Singulair (montelukast) that took my HPPD to heights unseen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I wonder what it is that makes allergy medicines have this affect on HPPD. I am slightly worried as I have a very bad allergy to Brazil nuts that requires a strong antihistamine medication to cure if I accidently ingest some. Not to mention bad hay fever. I think I would rather suffer the symptoms of an allergic reaction than a HPPD reaction to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlehmbecker Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I got my HPPD from rampant diphenhydramine abuse as a form of self-medication for my insomnia and also just for a quick, cheap, and easy (depending on who you talk to) high to escape my troubles. My use went on for about 2 years or so, and I wasn't taking the normal dosage either, I was taking 300mg or more each night. Anyways, antihistamines can cause HPPD because they affect acetylcholine transmission in the brain and acetycholine is extremely important in normal brain function (it acts as a sort of control neurotransmitter, it tells neurons/parts of the brain to turn on or off basically, but don't quote me on that). If you start messing with acetycholine, you'll start getting a bunch of problems, HPPD being one of them. The exact mechanism still isn't known, but it is believed to be related to serotonin, dopamine, and acetycholine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db123 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Mine was a week after I had a God awful trip on mushrooms. I think when I smoked pot it triggered it or something because the week before I was perfectly fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
