Increasing Symptoms


Pr_J

Recommended Posts

Hi everybody!

I am 21 years old and a few months ago I realized that I have HPPD.

The symptoms are fairly light and don't bother me that much.

I have already read a lot about HPPD and most people seem to get it from MDMA, LSD or other hallucinogenic drugs.

Personally I got it from a few times MDMA.

I know that things like alcohol can increase your HPPD for a short while (when you have a hangover)

but after you have sleeped it off your HPPD is back to normal.

In the trial forum (that was deleted) Shaolinbomber already sad something about how some drugs increase HPPD in the long run,

and how other only affect it for a short while. (dopaminergic drugs?)

I was wondering what your experiences are with this.

Cheers,

the things i've noticed to increase my symptoms short term have been; alcohol, cigarettes, pot, caffeine, too much sleep, also too little sleep, dim lights, and stress has been a HUGE problem with my symptoms.

long term things would have to of been heavy drug use after symptoms started (made things quite worse than they were in the beginning, but it was the only way i knew to deal.) that's really the only thing that made my symptoms worse for more than a day or two.

things that have helped me, MY PUPPY!!, exercise, normal sleep, healthy diet, NO drug use (including pot), herbal treatments (such as teas and essential oils), spiritual practice (reiki energy healing, craniosacral therapy, and all around peaceful meditation everyday.)

What's the correlation between HPPD and pupil size?

I usually have large pupils, but never really noticed a correlation.

What are your experience with drugs that increase HPPD?

In my case it was caused by MDMA, so that's a no go for me.

But do you think things like speed can really worsen it?

Okay, but adderral is know as a cause of HPPD (says wikipedia) and speed is not? (at least not to my knowledge)

As far as I know Adderall is not a trigger for HPPD. HPPD is caused by serotonin agonists and drugs that bind to serotonin vesicles and release too much at once. Adderall does neither of these nor does it even have any activity whatsoever in the serotonin system. It's activities are strictly norepinergic and dopaminergic.
