  1. Been on Klonopin 1mg x 3 a day for 6 months, just started Keppra. I've had shit luck with Neurologist, I was diagnosed with TLE through Dr. Abraham and followed up on treatment through one of his friends in my area. I'm more a fan of Psychiatrist because they listen to what you say, and seem not to judge you for your past.
  2. I was diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy, the onset occurred simultaneously with when I first had an onset of HPPD. I believe there could be a major connection with either TLE even the most minor of symptoms and HPPD. I just started keppra to treat the TLE and it's been shown to also alleviate symptoms of HPPD. Of course this isn't the case for everyone but in the first week I've taken keppra I've already noticed a minor reduction in visual snow and I've yet to have any seizure activity. Temporal Lobe Seizures can be quite tricky, a lot of the time people don't even realize they're having a seizure while they occur. I'm also on klonopin 1mg 3 times daily, which I know has a bit of a bad rap on this website but it has drastically improved my life over the course of the last 6 months. I'm by no means an expert on anything, just a bit anecdotal evidence for you!
  3. I had an appointment with Dr. Abraham in March of this year, I live all the way in Florida, but the flight out to see him was well worth it. He's an absolutely fantastic man and doctor and will truly treat you with empathy and understanding, alongside a great deal of knowledge. His care is above and beyond anything I could have ever hoped for. It was the first time in all my doctors visits I didn't feel judged and treated as some sort of vagrant with an over active imagination, Dr. Abraham came off as truly caring and wanting to aid be to the best of his ability. There's a reason when you google HPPD his name pops up first, he's devoted a large part of his life to helping those who suffer with it and IMO is one of the greatest humans I've ever met. He also was kind enough to put me in touch with a personal friend of his, a psychiatrist who works out of Sarasota, FL and spent a bit of time explaining my condition to him personally. I wish you the best of luck with your appointment and I hope it turns out for the best. He doesn't have a magic cure, but he's up to date with all the latest and greatest medications and personally goes over both the positive and negatives of each and really takes your own feedback into his consideration. Best of luck!
