nlbrooks Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 I got HPPD from one tested 125 ug tab. No prior psychedelic experience. I get visual snow, afterimages, trails, shimmering on patterns, objects breathing, blue light entoptic phenomenon, halos, starbursts, closed eye visuals, and tinnitus. I had an MJ edible 4 days after (before I knew not to) and since have been sober of weed. I’ve been sober of alcohol for a month and half. Yet no improvements whatsoever. Am I stuck with this for life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancurtis Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 No, that's way to early to tell it's for life. Do you have any mental/cognitive symptoms? Try to get busy, avoid stress and don't over analyse this and I think you have very good chance to get better. Ofc no more drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Hi, I'm replying because you sound similar to me. I got hppd after only my second acid experience, and was so scared for a long time. I began to see really noticeable improvements at about 4 months. The first three months were utter hell. I almost failed three classes in college, after being a straight A student. I couldn't connect with friends and family. I could hardly see at night and was scared to drive or even leave my house. I couldn't read, because the lines of text would get stuck in my field in perception and follow me down the page blocking out all of the new lines. I couldn't watch tv because the swiring dots would make me dizzy. I( thought I was going to have to drop out of school and live with my parents forever. Then my symptoms started lessening. I started to see less of the visual snow, less warping of objects, less brain fog, I started to be able to communicate again. After school ended about 6 months after the symptoms started I went on a vacation that I had been dreading, because I couldn't stop thinking that this vacation would suck and confirm my fears that no matter what I would never be happy again. But I had a great time, I just had to wear sunglasses for most of it to mitigate some of the visuals. I am now working a normal job and living a normal life. I still have symptoms, floaters, some light visual snow, blep if I stare at a blank sky, very minor afterimages. But the severity of the symptoms has slowly decreased to probably 20% of what I originally had. I am able to lead a normal life, and the symptoms only bother me if I allow them to. If I don't focus on them I hardly notice them, "out of mind, out of sight" if you will. I know that some people on this site have symptoms for longer or shorter than other's but I would say that mine decreased to a level where life was fully livable in about 6 months. I don't know If the symptoms will ever fully go away, but I still hope that they will. I am extremely thankful that they have decreased as much as they have, and that my life seems to be back on track. 2.5 months feels like a long time with this condition, but it will likely be around for a bit longer. Don't give up hope. I thought my life was over for sure, but now I know that it's not, stay off the drugs and don't give up hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDoc Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 You're not "screwed". Not at all. Like I, and most people in this forum will say, stay clean. Avoid psychoactive drugs, that's very important! Be patient, I don't know if you just dosed that once. If so, it's likely the symptoms will fade. However, be patient. It can take a while. Keep moving with your life. Try to focus your mind on the productive and joyful aspects of your life. I'm an old guy who took a ton of psychedelics. Some of my symptoms appear to be perminent. However, I've never considered myself as being screwed. Life has been good to me, and I hope to ride this planet around the sun many more times. Hang in there and never give up.

MadDoc Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Every one of us has different circumstances. Understood. Each of us can take the path of being negative or being positive. @hope1 I'm very happy to see that you're posting. Honestly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawkinchit Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) It can take a long time. Give it up to a year IMO. Keep in mind that all normal healing in the body takes 3 months for about 90% healing. The nervous system is a lot more complicated than most areas, so you need to give it a lot of time.
