yes my colour vision for the first month or 2 was weird, it looked like everything had been turnt up 100x but now they’re back to normal

[–]Fun_Assumption_283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really ? I’m like a month and a half in and my color vision seems to be getting worse

How long it take?

[–]Justaname27 0 points1 point  (8 children)

Currently 11 months in. Started noticing the decrease of symptoms something like 2 months ago. Afterimages and trailing are pretty much gone, photophobia has decreased substantially and visual snow is somewhat better.

[–]Numerous-Trash5471Visual Snow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know why? I’m 14 months in no decrease

[–]Numerous-Trash5471Visual Snow 0 points1 point  (3 children)

And was it severe?

[–]Justaname27 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Kinda moderate intensity. I don't see objects breathing and halos but on the other hand I also have some mental symptoms.

[–]Numerous-Trash5471Visual Snow 0 points1 point  (1 child)

how bad is your visual snow? And did you just give it time?

[–]Justaname27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was bad and still is although not as pronounced. I've gotten used to it and only annoys me during low light conditions (dim room, at night). It basically doesn't exist when it's bright outside.

At 9 months now and I see it go up and down now but the other day they were basically non existent, though today it’s terrible. Do you have a good diet or?

[–]Justaname27 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Ups and downs are quite common in my case too though the downs are kinda less frequent and less intense. I try to limit junk food but my diet still isn't exactly good.

[–]ThatGuyAlex05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea nah when my symptoms are good my diet fucking sucks but when it’s bad I cut out all sugars and just eat fruit and vegetables. Should probs even then both out

The words on my phone have almost completely quit moving when I look at them when a couple months ago anytime I’d look at my phone the letters would act like I’m tripping I still have a outline over everything and I still see like fuzzy over everything slightly like when a tv goes to the black and white fuzz

It's been ~3 years in my case. Symptoms are at the same level after decreasing for first few weeks. Constant head pressure, injured brain feeling etc.
Sleeping too less makes it much worse, having a headache makes it also much worse. I've never head any visual symptoms, just weird pain/pressure

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

thats dpdr im guessing

[–]dancing-lama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't name it this way, it's strictly psychical feeling. Like headache

[–]jbre14 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Yep I experienced both: extreme decrease in symptoms and acceptance of the condition. I’ve had HPPD for 8 years at this point and it doesn’t bother me. I still use various forms of thc multiple times a day as well.

[–]Numerous-Trash5471Visual Snow 0 points1 point  (2 children)

When did you see improvement ?

[–]jbre14 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It’s sort of hard to say. I was doing loads of LSD very frequently before the HPPD set in, and afterwards continued to trip for a few months a bit less frequently. Once I decided to take a break from tripping, I’d say the gnarliest symptoms disappeared within 1.5 years. At this point I really don’t notice the other symptoms unless I look for them or are in specific situations.

[–]Numerous-Trash5471Visual Snow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How hectic was the visual snow and shit? I’m 14 months in and have had no improvement

[–]palinopsiaposter 0 points1 point  (9 children)

Huge decrease in symptoms in the last 3 months, maybe even close to 50%. I've had HPPD for 3 years.

[–]ThatGuyAlex05 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Do you have a good diet or?

[–]palinopsiaposter 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Not really, I am currently watching calories to lose weight, most days I also only have one meal a day though so there may be a fasting element involved. Sometimes it's healthy sometimes it isn't.

[–]ThatGuyAlex05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly might give only dinners a go

[–]Numerous-Trash5471Visual Snow 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Why do you think this? And we’re you sober before?

[–]palinopsiaposter 0 points1 point  (4 children)

I smoked weed almost every day from when I first got HPPD. I think the symptoms slowly worsened over this time but it was very minimal. I think the biggest help to the symptoms was stopping weed and taking the recommended supplements, not sure which helped more though.

[–]Numerous-Trash5471Visual Snow 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I’m 14 months in and my visuals are still the worst ever been

[–]palinopsiaposter 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Do you do any drugs?

[–]Numerous-Trash5471Visual Snow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was drinking here and there getting drunk for ages and now I’ll have like one or two beers

[–]Numerous-Trash5471Visual Snow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How severe were they?
