noworries Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 So I know this question has been answered countless times but I'm asking for a different reason. How does alcohol, in moderation, affect your HPPD. I'm planning on going to a party next Friday at a friend's place and it's going to be a bit of a reunion for my high school buddies and I'd love nothing more than to be able to have a few beers. It may just be rationalization, but do y'all think this could be an opportunity to test how alcohol affects my HPPD? I'm intending on limiting myself to five servings of alcohol. Just enough to get jolly drunk (I'm 6 foot 2 so I can tolerate a lot of alcohol). I'll drink plenty of water to fight of a hangover (that's what I hear most people have issue with). If at any point I feel uncomfortable I'll stop drinking. Does this sound like a safe way to go about this? My HPPD seems to be improving albeit pretty slowly. My symptoms haven't lessened in severity but they are becoming less consistent if that makes any sense. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowplay Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 It's fine. No problems. Worse hangover due to I'm a bit more anxious now then I was pre-HPPD but that will eventually pass anyways so it's secondary to HPPD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noworries Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Didn't end up drinking but I am extremely sleep deprived. Haven't slept for 21 hours. Besides feeling slight delirious (that's normal though), my symptoms aren't changed, huh?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noworries Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Had three beers last night. They were IPAs so it was more like six when you consider most of the canned beer we degenerate college students drink is low in alcohol content. Those three beers got me more pleasurably drunk than I expected. I noticed a bit more after-imaging off of things emmitting light (TVs, streetlights) but it wasn't distressing, I was drunk after all. Not sure if that has remained, in still sitting in bed and I didn't get much sleep last night. I never sleep very well drunk unless I have so much I pass out involuntarily, then I sleep like a baby hahaha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.50's Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I'm not cured, my depersonalization went away and because of that so did my anxiety so my visuals reduced a lot, then my dad died and everything got just as bad as before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
