Need help

[Yea]

Is there any medications that have actually helped anyone from what I’ve read is basically we have no hope and I’m only 17 with this shit I don’t know where to go or what to do because it’s like I’m living in a dream everyday filled with trails and my condition is so bad I feel like I have tunnel vision without the darkness I can only focus on like one word it makes it very hard to work or do anything I literally feel like I have no hope and contemplate suicide every single day I can’t even have my memory or my vision this disease has took everything from me

Klonopin (clonazepam/Rivotril) helps, but it is not worth it in the long term (I consider the withdrawal a bigger problem than HPPD itself now). 

I know what it is like to feel like you can only focus on one word… but it will get better. Time heals. Not everyone, yes, but there is hope.

Yep clonazepam works for me. It's a magic bullet really. But be careful of addiction... I just take it sporadically and have done for 13 years now with no tolerance/addiction issues. 

I sometimes take beta blockers too, which help with the psychical symptoms of anxiety, but do nothing for hppd itself.

Time also really helps... I was also in a very dark place when i was 17... By the time I was 20, i had learnt coping techniques and pushed myself to a better place. By that time, i was at college, had a side job, had a girlfriend and my own place.. It's amazing how quickly life can change... Just keep on fighting.
