therocknamedwonder Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 My dentist reccomended I get my wisdom teeth removed when I went in for my appointment today. I know it's necessary, but I'm scared that the drugs they give me during/after the procedure will make my HPPD much worse. Wether that's permanently worse or temporarily. There's the anesthetics they use during the procedure & the pain killers after (one is ibprophen and the other is an opiate.) Should I be concerned? My hppd is mild-moderate, but it already interferes with my life quite a bit and I'm rather scared that the drugs could make everything worse. I'm terrified of it reverting back to when I first got it. My symptoms were horrible, and I feel like they're manageable now. Any thoughts or advice would be extremely helpful.

Tn99 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) I’d try and stay away from nitrous oxide which dentists sometimes use. I did 24 nos balloons after smoking 3 joints and it made my hppd worse than when it first started but only for about a week then it returned to being manageable. I’ve only being experiencing symptoms for about 5 weeks and about 2 weeks in i was already taking ecstasy, ketamine and nitrous and I’ve been smoking weed every day other than a 5 day break when I first noticed visual symptoms. Anyway if you do experience worse symptoms after the procedure just pop some valiums and I’m sure you’ll be fine Edited February 7, 2019 by Tn99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDoc Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 I've been through a number of procedures where they put me under. I've never had any opiate medication afterwards. My symptoms never seemed any worse during recovery or in the long haul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And doing 24 whippets? Because that sounds like a lot of extra stuff that I don't plan on doing. Weed is what triggered my HPPD to go into full blown hppd, so I'm not going to touch it until at least two years after my symptoms go away. I really hope you're doing okay, that's a whole lot of drugs in a very short span of time. I used to be a moderate user of quite a few things, so I can't really scorn you. But my personal recommendation would be to stop doing drugs (especially ecstact, K, and weed, which have all been known to cause & worsen hppd) while you're ahead if you're already having some symptoms. Sounds like you're really rolling the dice my friend. I hope you're doin ok! Thank you for your input ((: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andersrer Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) You can tell your dentist about your HPPD. I think before using anesthesia, dentists should check for allergic reactions or compatibility. So it will be better to do some tests before removing wisdom teeth. I also removed my wisdom teeth because I wanted to fix my crooked teeth. Before making braces, dentists often suggest removing wisdom teeth. The teeth have a place to straighten. I had 3 injections during the removal, and my HPPD didn't get worse. I took off my braces a year ago and did teeth whitening at https://thehealthysmile.net/dental-services/cosmetic-dentistry-bay-village-ohio/. I wanted my new smile to be very bright.

ReynoldYasmin Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) I understand your concern about your HPPD and the potential impact of the drugs used during your wisdom teeth removal. It's always best to talk to your dentist about your specific concerns and ask for their advice. They may be able to offer alternative options or provide more information on how to manage your symptoms during and after the procedure. Remember, it's important to prioritize your health and the removal of your wisdom teeth may is necessary for long-term oral health.
