I'm not sure if anxiety is relevant for how strong HPPD/VSS symptoms are. Is it a factor? In any case, here are a list of supplements and herbs I used for anxiety in order of effectiveness from personal experience. Erythrina Mulungu, A combination of l-arginine/l-lysine, l-theanine (you should get: suntheanine ®), Scutellaria Galericulata (I used this in high doses, however expensive), magnesium (400mg daily), -- 5-HTP l-tryptophan ashwaganda, passionflower, california poppy, valerian, lemon balm, hops, gingko biloba, GABA rhodolia rhodesia, If this helps anyone that's good, What are your supplements you have used against anxiety? Also if someone can provide an answer to the question if anxiety plays a role in HPPD/VSS symptoms that would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Both but they happen stronger if an object moves past me without focus. However this is not something that disturbes me really. I've had 3 psychologists, 2 psychiatrists. 5 diagnosisis total and one more 'suggestive diagnosis' and another I have to let evaluate. The temporary DP/DR + panic was not officially diagnosed but that one was a no-brainer to detect and although my psychs at that time agreed that I had it it was not put on paper. I figured it I might've been possible to have HPPD due to a disturbed neurological make-up. With 'Distortion in perception of perceived object' I mean that if I stare for instance at the floor it starts waving. The Halos/Aura occurs without migraine and I might have issues with anxiety I don't know but I doubt it's the cause. I notice HPPD symptoms the least when I computer so I do that most of the time and if I'm outside I never look in the air but always try to fantasize or not actively look at things since the floaters, snow amd difficulty with looking at the world always disturbs me.

Visual disturbances that I experience include: - Halos or auras surrounding objects, - trails following objects in motion, - Apparent shifts in the hue of a given item, - Air assuming a grainy or textured quality (visual snow and static) - Distortions in the dimensions of a perceived object - A heightened awareness of floaters. What other disorder can it be?

Hello all, I've had HPPD all my life. I've never used hallucinogens except for marijuana however I had HPPD before that, since my earliest memories. It's quite bothersome and depressing but I'm perhaps lucky in comparison to you who know an alternate experience. The fact that I've had this since birth may be due to other mental conditions. I've been diagnosed with several psychiatric and neurological conditions including: NLD (non verbal learning disorder), ADD, clinical depression, schizoid PD, psychotic personality organization, potentially dissociative disorder NOS, potentially aspergers/PDDNOS/autism spectrum disorder (gonna get tested in a while, though likely negative). Twice I experienced marijuana induced severe depersonalizion/derealization and commorbid panic disorder for 4 months and 6 months respectively, which was the worst time of my life hands down, although I always still feel a bit depersonalized and as far as I remember I felt depersonalized all my life. However the experience with DP/DR did not as far as I know had any impact on HPPD. I initially registered to this forum because I wanted to get my experience out since I think the fact that I and perhaps some other people were born with this disorder can be of neurological relevance. Hopefully I can learn here to better deal with and medicate the condition and reduce symptoms.
