Afasar Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Is there any correlation between bad trips and development of HPPD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreisind Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Not always, but from what I remember from the old board there is definitely a correlation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuiseppeTheGreat Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 for me there is for sure. the worst visuals i have are mostly ones i remember (or think i remember) from a particularly bad trip i had, involving 5 hits of cid all dropped after midnight in a friends room. i've always thought that maybe the trauma of a bad trip could be cause for PTSD, which coupled with a bad case of HPPD would in turn be cause for an increase in visuals experienced during the bad trip, similar to a soldier with PTSD flashing back to a combat zone. So in a round about way, yes, i'd say there is probably a correlation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afasar Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 After all, you took five hits of acid. If HPPD is a case of chronic lateral disinhibition due to 5HT-2A-activation, I do not see how bad trips fit in a pharmacological aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is from one bad trip after eating a half eighth of shrooms...I wasn't even tripping that hard, but my brain basically had to freeze itself in order to prevent me from having the horrible thoughts associated with the trip, and I've been basically left in that state. My visuals are minimal, but my brain hasn't unlocked itself (plus I still have horrible DP/DR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukkha Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 For me, I would have to say certainly. For others on this forum (or at least the older version), they've never experienced a bad trip yet know very well what HPPD is like. -D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mutts Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I can't help but wonder if it isn't as much related to anxiety as it is the bad trip. On the visual snow forum many people have experienced the onset of similar symptoms after particularly stressful episodes in their life. In my case there was a latency of about two weeks between the bad trip and the onset of hppd. This period was filled with extreme anxiety, panic and paranoia. I wonder if the latter did not do as much as the former to bring this on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
