james329103 Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 My HPPD has defiantly decreased since getting it back in 2020 and I believe it still very slowly improves. As it improves in very small increments, it can be difficult to notice progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasco Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 I’m in the same boat. I’m a little over 3 years into it and some days I feel like it’s almost over and others I feel like it’s hopeless. It happens in such small increments that it’s hard to notice, but I’ve noticed that sobriety makes the increments a little larger. Drinking is the least harmful in my opinion, but it’s still something I barely do as being hungover with HPPD is hell. I believe you’ll find peace and be rid of the symptoms soon, just take it a day at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawkinchit Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 Yes! Definitely, maybe not likely, but I did have significant improvements after about 5 years. Some of the most improvement actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was seeing improvement every year since getting this four years ago until a recent setback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brake Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 I read about other posters curing after around 5 years. I also read about an R&B singer who said she had minor visual disturbances (not as intense as HPPD) after using LSD that lasted 10 years. I think after 10 years it's safe to say you will have it forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that before I was put on Klonopin, my symptoms definitely improved, like kasco said-in small increments. Sometimes I would go days to a week without being bothered by symptoms. Then I would have a flare, but eventually go back to baseline. I heard that it’s different for everyone though. My motto is- there’s always hope!
