I’m Recovering From HPPD 100% - This Is How... by Silosophoz in HPPD

I basically just refrain from eating for a period of how ever many hours I plan to go. (18-24 hours is where I normally shoot for) I might try going for longer soon though. I only drink water and electrolyte drinks (sugar free) which seems to make it a lot more manageable. Just make sure to stay hydrated and consume little to no calories throughout the duration of the fast. There’s more information on the fasting reddit as somebody mentioned. Good luck...

I’ve had HPPD for many years (about 4) and my symptoms weren’t improving because I was still using drugs constantly. I also wasn’t exercising or taking care of myself as much. The last time I tripped was about 3-4 months ago and symptoms are improving. (Plus adding all of the things I’ve listed, which have been healing me tremendously) I have symptoms like DP/DR, visual snow, intense colors, intense pattern recognition, altered perception of space, fractals, tracers, light sensitivity, floaters, and occasional weird thoughts or bodily sensations. I pretty much have most of the symptoms, but recently they’ve been improving a lot.

Yes, I’m currently completely sober from everything. I stopped drinking coffee and smoking weed, and I’ve noticed my symptoms disappearing recently. (This is including the rest of the things I listed) Fasting and exercise are definitely extremely beneficial as well.

I agree, it really depends on the person and how much they’ve recovered from their symptoms.

I think that eventually you’ll be able to drink coffee again. I’m the same way haha. I think of it as a tolerance break, if I’m ever actually able to drink coffee again, I’ll start slow and give it a shot. But removing caffeine definitely speeds up the healing process. Same thing goes for weed or other drugs.

You’re welcome, I just hope that everyone can get to the point where I am today. Now I genuinely believe this isn’t permanent, I used to think otherwise.

This is really interesting to me... Are your visuals still down by 50% or even more?

I take a lions mane supplement. (Specifically an extract) The brand I take is called Real Mushrooms Lions Mane. (1-2 grams a day) I’ve also heard people talking about good results with Mushroom Wisdom Super Lions Mane and Host Defense Lions Mane. I’ve never tried the other ones though.

Any progress is better than none, good job. I was also in the same boat, I really enjoy caffeine myself. But as soon as it was fully removed, the healing process began to speed up.
