Still_here Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hey there everyone. I wondered if anyone else ever got vertigo or slightly slurred speach? Sometimes I have these symptoms however aswell as having HPPD. However I have also developed hypochriosis (probably through worrying about new symptoms) and sometimes I wonder how much is HPPD and how much is my hypochondriosis creating symptoms through shear anxiety and mind control. I regularly find that unlike others caffeine doesnt effect my visuals, infact sometimes it reduces them (probably because im feeling alot more positive). However if I have too much coffee, red bull etc, I end up with mild vertigo and have to hold on to things to steady myself, which in turn brings on panic and anxiety.

John Smith Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 If it induces vertigo it probably isnt doin much for your HPPD in the long run...And yeah i have slurred speech, DPDR caused though, i fumble my words and blank out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VisualDude Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 No vertigo, but some people with HPPD get misdiagnosed with vertigo. I regularly find that unlike others caffeine doesnt effect my visuals, infact sometimes it reduces them Don't have a problem with coffee, nor any noticable benefits for visuals FYI -- Coffee (caffeine) stimulates acetylcholine. This is the main 'desired' effect. However, some on the forum have problems with caffeine. It should be noted that there needs to be a balance between acetylcholine and dopamine, otherwise it can cause a lot of trouble, particularly bad anxiety. From a medical standpoint, a doctor never mixes meds that lower dopamine and increase dopamine. They may lower both (schizophrenia) or they may increase dopamine and lower acetylcholine (Parkinson's) Perhaps for those whom caffeine bothers, it might be an indication they need more dopamine.

Br0k3nS41nt Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Disequilibrium, not vertigo, vertigo is essentially spinning, like when you spin around in circles. If you feel as if you are on a boat in stormy weather, this is disequilibrium. I had this bad for about 4-5 months after my trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucid206 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 i think hppd in my experience threw my eyes and physical reactions is almost a constant vertigo since nothing is stable.. when im on top of a building i cant find my balance at all, no fear of heights etc.. just mental/visual overload from said disorder. HPPD is like living underwater, constantly moving, id pay good money for 12 hrs of clear walls, cause itd be as much of a trip as lsd was first. (ive lived half my life with hppd now, 14-15years) i dont really recall what it was like not to be caught in a current, spinning feelings cause those with full-blown hppd.... NOTHING is still.... the clearest picture i get visually, is on TV's and monitors, as its hard to hallucinate to a flickerrate.. tho the visuals are still present on screen but //behind my monitor... ha.
