I had hppd for 10 years but not anymore. I thought it would never end.

To anyone suffering with HPPD. I was prescribed Quetiapine to help me with my HPPD & it has reduced the symptoms by about 95%, I called my local doctor and said I wanted to have a psychiatrist assessment and I was put in touch with an early intervention psychosis team who prescribed it to me. May not work for everyone but in my experience it has changed my life. I went from being scared of everything and everyone having 5/6 visuals a day completely thinking I was losing my mind and that the world I was living in was a lie. I also used to smoke absurd amounts of cannabis and I had to completely stop that because it made it incredibly worse and almost every time triggered hallucinations.

Respect u for not being bias against drugs and told the exact truth to the best of you're knowledge

I had hppd for 2 month you got to be strong and if you can talk with somebody my father helped me it was in crismas and in February of 2023 i was okay be strong and pray god is the best doctor

i too have hppd and i personally find it for fascinating than fearful or anxiety inducing, although my heart goes out to others struggling, and i hope yall find peace. and perhaps i dont have it as bad as some others, but i dont want people to believe that its inherently bad for everyone. and cannabis can increase the effects of psychedelic induced hppd.

Hey im a norwegian 22 year old girl, i just wanna say that you’re not alone with having hppd. I felt so alone when i didnt know what it was. I went to the eye doctor to see if there was something wrong with my eyes. I thought i was going to get psychotic or that i was in one. I found out myself after a long time that it was hppd. I felt less alone when i knew other people had it too and that it was actually a thing. Its been a year now and its not gone (yet) but its much better then it was in the beginning. I just wanna say that i dont think that this is chronic. But it probably can get chronic if you’re not careful! If you’re using drugs you have to quit immediately! And you should never drink again. And to be fair, life is better without drugs and alcohol. You should also exercise and eat healthy. AND get enough sleep. Im working on this and i really think my hppd will go away with patience, selflove and getting healthier. I still want to feel less alone tho.. so if you want, please contact me and we can support eachother

I've had it since 2018 and didn't even realise. Doesn't affect my daily life but its quite irritating that not everything is clear and it's easier to blind me with flashing lights at night.

It kinda hurts seeing people who got hppd more recently on here. I'd be happy to speak to anyone about it (I'm no expert on it. Just another person who has it). I'm just saying this right now You will recover mentally from this

After heavy diphenhydramine, meth and LSD abuse I've experienced this but never quite knew what to call it. I've been sober for 6 years but I still get fragments of it. One odd thing I see is object sizing. For example, a coffee table with a cup on it, I will often perceive the table as miniscule and the cup as excessively large even though that isnt what is happening visually or realistically. Mental fractals and living colors are hit and miss, somewhat rare for me to perceive but potent when I do. A very strange byproduct, it's like a wetbrain of another realm.

I’ve had HPPD for 6 years now. Never took meds for it. Don’t let it ruin your life. It’s horrible in the start but it’s a gift and a curse. Call it my shaman vision haha.

Actually this can happen after only using one time and be lifelong i know from my own experience so be careful guys.

it’s is not as easy going as he makes it seem for me i pray to god i never get as bad as i was again but it was unfathemable complete devistation to my reality and perception of things

after a use of lsd exaclty before two months .the next day i start to have symtoms of dearization like see the people like camera when i have stress like fogy vision and lost.loosing of short term memory,imean what i did yesterday loose of concentration,afraid of the people little bit,bad mood,and after one month i start to have like trails in my vision if i turn my head fast.blurry vision,and if some pictures or walls are geometric or thinks with continuing lines like tthe heater or my blanket i see it if i move fast like double.or when i move my hand sometimes i can see it like again.but i dont have in my generall vision all the day sympotms like moving thinks or i dont know.only trails litle bit and halos in the light.sensitivity also in light.can someone help me if this is depersonalization or hppd? my psychotherapist still believe that is stress panic.

Ive had it for over ten years, got it from a prescribed SSRI. When it first started it was pretty crazy, it was mostly around doorways and any kind of straight clear edges the whole edge would wiggle and undulate and if i kept staring there would start to be very bright orange and blue auras. I also had a flickering in my vision, like a shadow from a fan, and a lot of visual snow. I still have all these things except the auras. Its especially bad when im tired or stressed. It doesnt bother me that much except for the fact that even though my prescription is supposed to fully correct my vision, I still struggle to see things like signs and menus. Im used to it now, just like im used to the 24/7 tinnitus in both ears, its just life sometimes. Edited to add, I also have like an insane amount of floaters and get so much blue field entropic phenomenon it looks like the sky is sparkling.

I took 15 tabs and had a bad trip and life’s never been the same

Can someone please help my son, he definitely has type 2 hppd, he is having an episode right now, this occurs between every third day to seven days, he experiences suicidal thoughts major paranoia and anxiety, he is really suffering and there isn’t a single doctor in Queensland who recognises this condition

The fuck is up with the music xd

Dont worry about the cannabis part though. Cannabis is not a hallucinogen at all its judt a psychotrop that has psychedelic aspects. For that reason if your weed causes HPPD then something is wrong with your "weed".

Im 14 years old and im pretty sure i have hppd, i started smoking pot when i was 11 but really started abusing it when i was 13 and now ive been doing shrooms recently and even mixing the two together. One night i smoked some weed, two days ago i took shrooms and i began to bad trip on weed so i just slept it off but i noticed during the high that my vision was really noisy even when i closed my eyes. I eventually slept and when i woke up i was horrified to still see that static vision and i had to go to school that day and i was hallucinating and in a constant state of derealization, i felt so disconnected from reality like i was in a dream all day. Its now day 3 of experiencing this and the static vision is still there typing this but has calmed down and my hallucinations also calmed down but i still feel so off and disconnected from myself. 100% going sober from here on.

is it possible to get hppd by microdosing dried Amanita muscaria for therapeutic purposes? (musimol)

ive had it since i was 5

i got hppd please help

Prolonged psychedelic effects??? God these terms

a thought, for me the pyramids seem to be a symbol of harmony between the Sun >god1of many planets mother nature < to continue this idea i understand the blocks of the pyramid to be a reflection of the energy quantifying reaction that occurs on the Suns in visible form to guide the imagination of adventurers..... we are apart of this energy brothers and sisters we our but a reflection of what is allowed by our environment.... we need these good vibes Needing better harmony with Nature lets let earth grow better

so this is a condition that causes anxiety right? Right. ... Why the hell someone would think a fast speaking doctor with pumped up music would be appropriate? We need chilled doctors pls.

I’ve had hppd for a couples years now when Ever I look at a wall or floor it looks like the texture or patterns are moving around like water idk how to explain it kinda sucks tbh got this from a lsd binge couples years ago🥲….Don’t do drugs!!!
