  1. You can get much, much worse... I can't emphasise this enough. MDMA is arguably the worst drug you can take if you have HPPD. It turned my hppd from something manageable to something that made me want to die.
  2. Hi John, that's an interesting observation and one i'd never heard of before. I can only assume certain chemicals are being released during those episodes that help with visuals, (Gaba?). Hopefully some of the more scientifically minded posters can add their thoughts.

    VSS or HPPD?

    Do you mean the SSRI was what started your illness or you have now started on SSRIs to try to help the issue? If it was an SSRI that caused your issues, you could probably class that as HPPD... but really, it makes no difference what you call it.. The treatment, things to avoid etc are all the same, from what I have read.
  4. Sadly, probably not. The only test i've heard of to show anything is a qEEG (not a normal EEG). The only success I ever really get with doctors is to calmly explain what hppd is, show them research from other doctors and try to guide them to the correct conclusion (basically letting their ego think it's done some of the work). It's a fucked up system, but it is where we are currently at, in the UK at least.
  5. Yea, there's a few of us from the UK here... I'm from the midlands Welcome to the board
  6. Just a side note, anyone thinking about the blindness thing (we've all thought it)... Just try wearing a dark blindfold for 24 hours. It's way harder than you think!
  7. Do you guys not drop into the dark web or similar when you can;t get benzos? That's how I used to do it before getting a script.
  8. Do you have a link to the research?
  9. Yea, keep on fighting... I know you've been through the ringer lately, but you are a very strong person and will get through this
  10. Welcome to the forum, some great points in your post and you sound like you have a very good outlook to this. I find having creative outlets (music, writing and design for me) have been so beneficial to keep the stress and depression of this disorder at bay.
  11. That sounds very promising, if I understand it correctly... Great find, thanks for sharing!
  12. It's possible that it is all interconnected through drug use.. At this point though, i would not think of it as hppd unless your mild visuals are still there too? Even hppd itself should probably be divided and treated as sub issues (anxiety, depression, visuals, dpdr etc)... I think grouping it all into one condition is a bit limiting.
  13. I think there's more possibility of it being linked to the prozac, or it is a combination of both. The timing is almost exactly the timing when an SSRI starts to "work". Also, the initial three weeks where you felt ok, the prozac would have been doing nothing, which makes me think you were naturally recovering. I would strongly suggest going med free and seeing where your baseline is (Speak to your doctor, of course). I am absolutely baffled as to why they put you on such a medication after one week of anxiety, unless you were already suffering from that before the trip?
  14. I've tried various CBD products, post HPPD, including smoking CBD weed... Nothing has an effect on me, negative or positive. I'd say it is safe enough to try, as long as there is zero or trace amounts of THC content. As with anything new, just take it slowly and up the dose as needed.
  15. Hey, welcome to the forum... Sadly, there's no way to tell, you just gotta try and ride it out as best as you can. The worst flare up i ever had lasted a couple of months.
