psylaurj Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Does anyone has a shock inside the head? I feel this is bad.. I'm new here.. I dont know where else I could get help. I have had this a long time and i eat lamotrigin 100mg and klonopin 0,5mg 3 x in day. i have pressure in my head and i see lots of things. micropsia and macropsia, visuals, afterimages, and i see star flights all the time.. is this hppd?

Shadowplay Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I don't know, but I know that a daily use of clonazepam can fuck your head up and give you worse visual side-effects then HPPD itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merkan Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I don't know, but I know that a daily use of clonazepam can fuck your head up and give you worse visual side-effects then HPPD itself.As for withdrawal, yes.But op have HPPD indeed and the shocks has to do with the serotonin inbalance that comes with HPPD. I still get that at bad times and always has since HPPD started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay1 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 the only time I have suffered these sort of shocks is when coming off Keppra too quickly, so this may be related to your anti-convulsant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowplay Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Well Clonazepam effects the serotonin levels as well doesn't it? I doubt that these "shocks" are from an anti-convulsant or just plain from HPPD itself, but from Clonazepam as this is the only medication that is interferring with serotonin levels where there are a lot of reports on this from SSRI-usage. I'm sure it's possible that it can be related to the anti-convulsant but I haven't read anything about these kind of side-effects. If it would be the case, it would be more rare than from Clonazepam usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had received a serotonin syndrome a year ago and then i ate mushrooms, cubensis. not a much.. do you take any ssri's? i had these "brain shocks" about 3 years ago a few months before i actually got hppd, and i believe its ssri discontinuation syndrome (i wasnt on anti-depressents but the symptoms are so similar, look it up), the shocks subsided after a 2 weeks and never had them again, so you should be good http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antidepressant_discontinuation_syndrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
