limedisciple Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Hello, I was curious if anyone else experiences the anxiety of the come-up on a psychedelic long after quitting drug use. It seems like once in a while I start feeling the setting-in of something like LSD even though I'm sober. I wasn't sure if this was apart of HPPD or if this was something unique to me since I had existing anxiety problems before I took drugs. Does anyone else have this happen to them? Like you can be doing something normal and all of a sudden start to feel like the acid is setting in or something. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDoc Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Yes! Back when I used to take psychedelics, I rarely felt any sort of anxiety. By the time I quit I realized that I was in rough shape. Anxiety was a BIG problem early on. Consuming cannabis made it much much worse. Even one hit of weed could put me into a full blown paranoid panic attack. Over time, my anxiety dissipated for the most part as long as I stay sober. I tried cannabis some time ago (ten years ago?) and it still makes my anxiety and visuals go crazy. I mean, to the point that I think I'm having a heart attack. There is someone in this forum who describes hppd as "being on a low dose of acid after the learning and euphoria are gone" (roughly what he said). I still feel slightly dosed after all the years I've been clean. So yes, it's common for those of us with this disorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
