Beefol Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 Hello everyone, I have a question about the onset of symptoms in HPPD. Is it possible for symptoms to start 1-2 months after the triggering trip? I consumed mushrooms in October 2022 and noticed mild visual symptoms 2-3 days after. This was followed by severe dizziness, head pressure and anxiety. It wasn't until January/February that I experienced the symptoms that cause me the most problems: Tinnitus and hyperacusis. However, since then I have been wondering whether the tinnitus and hyperacusis have anything to do with HPPD at all or whether they simply started by chance shortly afterwards. Because in the first 1.5 months after the trip, I haven’t noticed those symptoms at all.. stay strong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heroku Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 What do the tinnitus and hyperacusis feel like? I think I might have something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinnitus is ringing in the ears and hyperacusis is a lowered tolerance against sound thats not too loud for people with normal hearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay1 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 It's possible that it is all interconnected through drug use.. At this point though, i would not think of it as hppd unless your mild visuals are still there too? Even hppd itself should probably be divided and treated as sub issues (anxiety, depression, visuals, dpdr etc)... I think grouping it all into one condition is a bit limiting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely still have some mild visual symptoms. I have never noticed BFEP before all of this and now i see it everywhere. Mild snow on smooth surfaces, pattern glare, sometimes closed eye visuals. And the ear stuff started in the 1-2 months after the shroom trips. And after massive anxiety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF44 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Hi! I think I already put in my two cents yesterday or the day before (omg my memory is SO horrible!) but maybe it’s a problem with your ears? Like a physical issue that either coincidentally popped up, or the HPPD triggered it or made it more noticeable? Are you able to get a referral to an ENT? It wouldn’t hurt to get your ears checked, at any rate. I truly hope your symptoms get better. I think someone else suggested this, (maybe it was me? LOL) ear plugs? I almost wonder if you have Meneire’s. Well anyway, I will stop babbling. Keep us updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
