New advances in medicine like this makes me hopeful that a cure for HPPD will be found in the next 5-10 years. I've had problems with dopamine my whole life, but after getting HPPD it seems like I barely make any of my own at all now. I first noticed a big shift in my motivation and drive after being on ADD mess for a year and a half in high school. Turns out I'm a slow metabolizer, and the levels of amphetamine I had in my blood were... Well enormous. I was tweaking for a full year (hadn't done drugs yet else I would have probably realized I was high as a kite and stopped taking them, I just thought my docs had just "cured" my add). I'm pretty sure I caused some oxidative stress during this time as after coming off of them I stopped listening to the music I used to like even before meds.

because of gene mutations, I have a really hard time metabolizing dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and I think acetylcholine in my brain. This had lead me to think I may have caused some excitotoxic events or something in my trips (I always seemed to trip out ten times harder than my friends, I even broke through on DMT by hitting a resinous pipe)

I'm hoping tech like in this article could be applied to help regenerate some of the stuff we all may have fried in our brains. Thoughts?

The lead researcher agreed to be on the Scientific Advisory Board to the NNRF but after that initial email I havent heard from her since.
I think this technology and others similar should help like the work being done by Dr. Gong Chen of U Penn.
