SlavicPsychonaut Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I've been popping Klonopin virtually daily for three years as well; it's the only alkaloid that restored my cognition and obliterated my visual distortions, albeit my tolerance is preposterous and I don't want to even fathom taking 3-4 mgs a day. Considering you've only been abstinent for six months, it's inevitably going to take time for your GABA receptors to upregulate to feel some psychological sense of normalcy. Honestly, I fucking loathe Klonopin because of its notoriety as an addictive substance, and I feel hostile, agitated and withdrawn whilst it's effective in my system, so I can definitely emphasize with you. I commend your successful cessation of Klonopin use; something I intend to do once I find a more conducive medication that doesn't convert me into an aggressive, pretentious dick! Tolcapone looks promising, you should research it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlavicPsychonaut Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 As for the social aspect, you just have to extrovert yourself, as arduous as it may seem. Proactively seek out new relationships, facilitate conversation with strangers, etc. It's a process, for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly the hardest thing we can do, as suferers, but it really does work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlavicPsychonaut Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 You're welcome! I'm going to ask my neurologist for a script of Tolcapone on Thursday and see if it has any efficacy. It's been empirically documented to alleviate HPPD symptoms in 1/3 of HPPD patients with Sinemet as an adjunct. It's postulated that COMT inhibition can negate discrepancies in sensory gating and be of therapeutic value. I'll let you know how it goes. Here's an article that's a bit more elaborative on how it can be beneficial for us: http://amrglobal.powweb.com/a-new-treatment-for-hppd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlavicPsychonaut Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 My neurologist refused to prescribe it to me, because increased dopaminergic activity leads to impulsive behavior, and I'm inferring he thought I was drug seeking. I was utterly shocked; he's prescribed me Sinemet in the past. Looks like I'll need to find an abstract psychiatrist, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaolinbomber Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Drug seeking for a non-psychoactive substance? Tolcapone increases dopaminergic activity in the brain but not fast enough as to warrant a feeling of euphoria like illicit drugs do.... AtleAst that's what I understand of it.
