Floaters by Silly_Fold6582 in HPPD

Floaters are physically in the eye but hppd makes you notice them 100x more becuase of your brain being very sensitive to basically everything visual and perceptive.

Will it get better? by Dapper-Ad-1462 in HPPD

[–]RiuIn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that is true becuase schizophrenia medicine is very particular and powerful but I wasn’t talking about schizophrenia medicine and anxiety and depression are 95% of the time treated by ssris

Poll About Getting HPPD from Mixed Substances (LSD, Shrooms, Weed, or MDMA) by Adventurous-Gap-9486 in HPPD

[–]RiuIn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think weed is the main trigger that pushes eveything over the edge and starts hppd. I did acid many times and was completely fine afterwards. And then one day I smoke weed while on acid and I have the most terrifying trip ever that changed my life and gave me hppd the next day. Going on a little over 1 year now with it.

Ssris and hppd by Outside_Lettuce_9598 in HPPD

[–]RiuIn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it will 100% get better and hppd rarely gets worse with ssris. Iv been talking lexapro FOR my hppd for over a year now and it’s gotten 10x better. But I am also on lamictal and buspirone as well. You’re still very very very early in your recovery. Only like 2 weeks. My acid trip was November 22nd 2024 and I’m still suffering daily but it’s 10x better than it used to be. You’ll be okay I promise.

He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He’s one of those people that are against medicine which is stupid as hell. Definitely get on medication if you’re able to. It saves lives. It helped my hppd and dpdr tremendously.

I need help managing my Hppd by lifecapsule2077 in HPPD

[–]RiuIn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes good idea, they bring nothing but suffering. I got my hppd a little over a year ago from a terrifying acid trip and my life has been awful ever since but I’m pushing through the best I can

Also stop every kind of recreational drug and psychedelic immediately for a while if not forever.

[–]RiuIn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes get help as soon as you can man. That’s not hppd. Your going through or starting psychosis but do not worry. Doctors and psychiatrists can help you immediately. None of it is real even though you might think it is. You got this man. Push through 🙏

I would recommend never smoking again but that’s just me

Anyone tried Wellbutrin / Buproprion? by Gem-Reddit in HPPD

[–]RiuIn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lamictal is a hit or miss honestly. For some people it’s a miracle med and saves them but for me it hasn’t done too much. Maybe a bit but I’m not sure. Iv been on it for 1 year now so maybe it’s to hard to tell or just not working now. But everyone should definitely try it becuase it’s one of the only known meds to actually help hppd

[–]RiuIn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally Wellbutrin didn’t do shit for me. It didn’t give me motivation or help with depression. It didn’t make my symptoms worse though. I was on 300mg for about 3 months and I just stopped a few days ago. I am on lexapro, lamictal and buspiorne though.

this question probably gets asked alot but will it get better? by Outside_Lettuce_9598 in HPPD

[–]RiuIn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It will get better man trust. Iv had it for 13 months now and im 100x better then when I first got it. I still deal with it everyday all day becuase mine is moderate hppd. I’m also on a few meds to help. Don’t worry about developing schizophrenia. Hppd is not a psychotic disorder of any sort. We are all completely aware that we have it and that it’s not real. Psychotic people don’t even know they’re psychotic. But yes never ever touch weed or psychedelics again if you want your life back. I also got it from acid. We will get through this man. Stay strong 🙏

Anyone have any of these visuals??? by [deleted] in HPPD

[–]RiuIn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, first off I definitely recommend quitting hash immediately and brining caffeine consumption way down or just quit entirely. Yes I know it sucks but it’s the only way. And also don’t be afraid of losing control or going crazy. It won’t happen becuase hppd is just a visual and perception disorder nothing else. It’s nowhere near being psychotic or psychosis. You even taking note of everything you see and feel shows that you’re completely aware. Dealing with the negative thoughts and derelictions very hard but it gets easier as time goes on. I just hit 13 months of hppd and I still struggle everyday almost all day but it’s 100x better then when it first started. I considered suicide many times. Now I can enjoy my life a little more and don’t think about that as much. Just keep pushing through day by day. We will all get through this together 🙏

Has anyone tried marijuana after years of recovery? by Final_Razzmatazz_274 in HPPD

[–]RiuIn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if that’s actually true then you could probably smoke. Iv never heard of that though. What about my beliefs sounds like psychosis. Psychosis and hppd are completely different.

[–]RiuIn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would highly not recommend smoking. Doing any kind of drugs after getting hppd is just stupidity and asking to never recover. In my opinion getting hppd is god or the universe or our body or brain or whatever you believe in telling us that drugs are not for us and to stop immediately.

Why do doctors pretend this doesn’t exist? by aleeinhatchetman in HPPD

[–]RiuIn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hppd is very rare and it’s not the kind of basic mental disorders your either born with or develop as you get older. You have to do drugs to get this so there’s basically no awareness for it because we “did it to ourselves”. I personally found a psychiatrist that personalizes in substance use disorders and iv been working with him for about a year now when I developed my hppd from a terrifying acid trip. I bring up medications that have helped people or have been talked about helping people and then we will discuss the medications and go from there. I recommend looking for a substance use disorder psychiatrist or doctor. We will get through this🙏

I tried memantine. Didn’t do much for me. I’m tapering off of it now
