HDDeer Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Hey guys, My doctor prescribed me lamictal yesterday and as pretty much all of you know, it's one of the more highly regarded medication out there for this condition. My hppd is actually very bearable, the only time I struggle is when I'm alone in the house where the lsd trip happened, which leads me to a few questions. If I decide to take it, and my hppd gets better/worse/stays the same, if I stop taking it will I return to baseline? Has anyone else taken this med?

HDDeer Posted December 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 This is my second day on it. I definitely feel different, I feel like I'm a little bit more "there" but at the same my visuals are a little worse and I'm slightly agitated. I don't know if it's supposed to get worse before it gets better or what. Having mixed results currently. It's also doing something weird with my mouth.

HDDeer Posted December 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 3rd day on it, one more time it seems like after I take the pill, my visuals get worse, debating on stopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onemorestep Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 I find it interesting that lamotrigine makes your visuals worse since the only chemical that completely corrected my visuals was oxiracetam It is my belief that much of the visual issues that coincide with HPPD are due to decreased activity at glutamate receptors. Whether this is due to malfunctioning receptors or previous loss of receptors I can't say... Oxiracetam (and other racetam derivatives except keppra) also screwed me up permanently when I tried to come off it cold turkey. I don't recommend it to people because of this.
