I'm sure there has to be a thread for this somewhere but I couldn't seem to find any info so if a thread already exists please let me know. I understand recreational drugs can make HPPD worse, permanently in some circumstances. And as we all know alcohol and caffeine can affect it as well. My question is, are there any prescription meds known to worsen HPPD, particularly, meds that don't have a strong psychoactive component and aren't typically associated with neurological side effects? The reason I ask is because I take a TNF-inhibitor for severe arthritis, which can make me drowsy for a couple hours but that's the only real side-effect I've experienced. Neurological side effects are rare and mostly include temporary numbness/tingling. I've had HPPD for a little over a year and, despite having cut out all rec drugs including alcohol and caffeine, some of my HPPD visuals (snow/trails/after images) have slowly progressed over the past year and I'm wondering if it is due to this medication, which I have been taking for years. I've never noticed a major spike in symptoms immediately after taking it, just a slow progression. Anybody have any stories relating to this? I know HPPD can take a long time to fully develop but does it typically take over a year? Discontinuing this medication is not a good option for me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNF_inhibitor- 4 replies
