mgrade Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 This is a good question about Tobacco and HPPD.......for the last 14 years I've been smoking cigarettes (mainly Newports). I would have never made it through my first drug-induced visual disturbance episode (in my mind) without cigarettes. But nevertheless it made it worse and could have contributed a little to intensity of its onset (as at the time i was staying very dehydrated and chain-smoking a pack a day and wasn't sleeping that much). All that plus drugs and I was gone. For me, smoking cigarettes was my pastime when i got the HPPD. But when I felt like I was coming out of it, it felt like i had smoked 90 cartons. And my lungs felt like a 30 year old deteriorated balloon. The cigarettes i think can definitely make the visuals worse but helps (depending on your disorder-severity) with anxiety/panic. I don't advise to start smoking though. Another strange phenomenon is that the taste of the cigarette would linger so incredibly long on my palette that it was totally driving me NUTS: from smoking 1 cig it felt like the taste would literally last for days and days and days. This is really annoying. Add some sedating Klonopin into the mix and i was really ready to lose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketusa Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 For me, nicotine in general changes my snow, sorta reduces it and keeps it very still. I don't smoke though, I live in the south, so I dip. . . Please don't judge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomebodySomewhere Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 My HPPD is gone now but from what I remember it made HPPD a little worse when using tobacco on the few occassions where I used it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
