ShroomInduced Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Are there any reasons why you shouldn't try synimet? I appreciate your answers. I use google translator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomebodySomewhere Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Why are you interested in trying Sinemet? It's a drug for Parkinsons, but if you do have Parkinsons, I don't know, ask a Doctor. Here's a site that lists some possible interactions and side effects: https://www.drugs.com/mtm/sinemet.html Since a possible side effect is hallucinations, I have to wonder how well that would work with HPPD. If you're interested in taking this in order to treat HPPD, don't. It won't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, I consider this drug as a possible treatment in case I get worse. Hope my symptoms will only get better until they go away. Thank you very much for your answer.

SomebodySomewhere Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Oh, I didn't know that. Regardless, I'd ask a doctor, it sounds like it has some serious side effects. I'll let someone who's actually tried it chime in. A drug that might help Depersonalization, that I have tried personally, is Naltrexone. I'm currrently on it for alcoholism, but I'm also noticing I now seem more "with it". I guess I've been depersonalized and I just became used to it. There's research backing up it as a treatment for depersonalization. I feel for you, I know how bad DP is, it's even worse than HPPD itself.

Jay1 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Yea, I tried it when those reports first came on here... Did nothing positive for me, only side effect I got was terrible restless leg syndrome, so stopped after a month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onemorestep Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Your response to sinemet will largely depend on your genetics and if there is an increased need for dopamine because of your specific hppd. Especially if you are talking about how it might make you "feel". Sinemet improved my symptoms a lot but tolerance accrued rapidly and it gave me a (not the fatal kind) skin rash that took quite some time to resolve.

Onemorestep Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 If you are interested in raising your dopamine levels, I recommend selegiline for that. It is much gentler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
