Ah thats good news, i just remembered reading something on here a while back that indicated it did so it couldn't hurt to make sure

Hi fellow hppders! I haven't been on here in a while as i haven't really needed the support of the forum as i've learnt to deal with my hppd but once again i'm in need of some experienced advice I have a dentist appointment coming up this week, i may need a tooth pulled, i can't be entirely sure what they will be doing yet but anyway i was wondering will a local anesthetic possibly make my Hppd worse or any form of sedation for that matter? You're input would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Like a laser? I think it has something to do with the ghosting and starbursting together, i see rays of light from the source to my eye and if i squint, its more noticeable.

You mean like things breathing and warping?

Thanks for your replies, sounds like i will be fine, A little less VS would be a nice little bonus haha I'm not really expecting them to do anything for my hppd just wanted to be sure

Quick Question, Antihistamines specifically cetirizine hydrochloride, will it affect my HPPD? It's in tablet form, I recently got some to try treat a skin problem i am having and just wanted to check to see if anyone has had any experience with them. lol might be a silly question but you can never be too careful with this shit

I believe your video's were the first ones i watched as well lol Completely agree with the whole acceptance thing, it's what has helped me deal with hppd the most not meds or dr's, accepting that this is how i perceive things now and that this may never go away and by living the healthiest life i can has helped me progress in my "Recovery" if you can call it that, perhaps it would be better to say accepting a new way of life. I personally take Hppd as a positive and a negative, while it is a terrible drag on my life with all the visuals and strange sensations, if not for this disorder i would have never quit drugs and alcohol and put it upon myself to live a healthier lifestyle which i now love

I've had this symptom since February and mine is strong, i also can not get around in daylight without my sunnies. I have been living a completely healthy lifestyle since February, eating right, gym etc. tried meds they only made me feel weird all that being said NO, improvement what so ever i'm afraid. it seems as though its here to stay, who knows what may happen given the time but so far nothing has gotten better. Sorry to sound negative but that's my experience with this so far and starbursting, ghosting and light sensitivity are easily my worst symptoms, without those i would pretty much be normal.

I have a full sleeve and a complete back piece, both are 30 plus hours, visuals go through the roof while im being tattooed but i sit there and cop it. man up champ, tattoos are the best!

I was stuck like that for a while, where i was to anxious about my hppd to go out with my mates and when i did i felt i couldn't enjoy myself when i was sober but now i go out every weekend to raves and clubs in the city with all my friends while they get fucked up on every substance under the sun and i still have a mad time, you just need to go out and do what you would normally do, get into it! maybe your not drunk or munted and your inhibitions are holding you back but fuck them, throw them out the fuckin' window and act like a dick, no one cares everyones to fucked up haha I'm realising im starting to have the best times sober, no hangovers or scat and you remember everything for a change, interacting with people without substance also brings out a new found confidence which i find is really great. just go out and try it for a while, you'll learn to enjoy yourself again

because you obsess about it, plain and simple.There is nothing more that can be said to you that already hasn't, you need to accept it.

Oh mate i know that thought, my life would be close to perfect without these disorders but i'm finding as time goes on it is either getting better or my coping mechanism is, like for instance since quitting alcohol my anxiety is practically at zero so when i do have a dp/dr attack i can handle it better or a visual symptom pops up that has never happened before, i just dont care about it. I'm even starting to be able to get around without sunglasses easier which i found was a necessity before, that being said you will always have shit days with this crap where you just wish it would go away and feel low about it, ive had some terrible days where i've wanted to be dead. I just think of it as this is my life now, get on with it, accept it and do the best you can with the situation, if it goes away one day, great. but until then deal with it and don't let it hold me back, do everything you want to do. On your worst days you will always come back to that thought of what if, just keep your mind occupied with whatever you have too to avoid the thought

The 2d vision would be DR and the double and blurred vision sounds like ghosting, i've had the 2d vision from the start and the ghosting began about 6 months in, so far nothing i have done has corrected it like all my symptoms i have just learned to cope. I find my ghosting is at its worst after just waking up. The flatness to me is everywhere, it appears as what i'm looking at is a still image, like a tv screen which can't be passed through. If say trees are against the sky or someone is standing against a white wall an aura will form around them as if they are apart of the background. Hard to explain :S All i take is a multi vitamin every morning, doesnt seem to do much but i take it anyway and i find work and gym keeps me distracted from most of my symptoms

Eat whatever you want to eat, as long as its not more pills or acid tabs you'll be fine. It has zero effect on it, i've recently stopped eating all junk but only because im on a high protein diet, i drink concentrated carbs for the gym, carbs do not effect hppd. EAT MAN, EAT! You need to stop being so paranoid man lol

When i was having bad migraines not long ago, i had a soreness behind the eyes. Didn't take anything for it besides maybe panadol and just sucked it up, they lasted days

Yeah, cheers for asking man, ive pulled myself up a bit since the beginning of this, i was in a bit of a state about my ex but sorted some shit out and am back on top of things, joined up at the gym and have been concentrating on that all this week, was taking sinemet but decided to stop it as it was making me feel really odd. I'm completley focused on my health kick so drinking is far from my mind and hppd is always there but im back to accepting it and dealing with it the best way i can. Oh and visual i have an expensive pair of sunnies they just arent working the same way they used to, they're rather scratched though but i use them sometimes to block out after images otherwise i have been trying to get around without sunnies on and sometimes its actually easier sometimes unless the starburst is huge. Its a very fiddly symptom but like all my others im am learning what triggers certain things with it

I stopped the sinemet, wasn't doing anything but making me feel wierd, fuck meds, im just gonna concentrate on being as healthy as i can. I've started gym and a healthy diet mainly consisting of protein enriched foods to get big, im just gonna accept this shit for what it is like i was doing before and if it goes away one day then great but otherwise i dont really give a fuck about it. As for my depression and anxiety im not gonna bother treated it with meds, it will only bury me deeper in that hole in the end. I pull through it even when im at my lowest so i'll be fine. Thanks for the help and information though

I had sleep paralysis once or twice before hppd, when i had a heavy binge on alcohol, i was awake in my room but i wasnt and i was convulsing, i never figured out whether it was a dream or not. That being said it was after the period of time i used 2-cb but before hppd, i have had it once since hppd but it was the 3-4 days after my last drink and i was once again awake in a room and couldnt wake up, trapped in a layered dream and couldnt discern real from dream or whether or not i was actually awake. It is intense and scary and i hope it never happens again

Yes, well i know for a fact that when i get angry or scared my dp flares up, anxiety is a constant thing so i find that it is the fuel for my dp, my dr is constant but flares up when my emotions blow up. right now my visuals are crazy because of what i am going through, everything warps a lot harder, colour saturation is even more saturated, everything is just wierd. No i have not tried klonopin, i was thinking about it but i dont want to get addicted to it, as my anxiety is constant so i feel i would use it a lot if it helps. Yeh, like a cloudyness in my eye or something, usually when something is in my eye like tears or dirt my vision goes to shit, ghosting flares up something crazy, even if the lenses on my glasses are dirty or im looking through a scratched dirty window it disturbs my vision and makes it worse, like my brain can't process how to see it correctly

What a piece of shit, did you beat the living shit out of them?

Would it be okay for me to take multi vitamin tablets with it? I'm also trying to go on a bit of a health kick and work out to fill my time, i want to try and get as healthy as i can

I realise flat isn't normal, i think it is more of a derealization thing, also last night i had my sinemet before entering the club i went to, im not sure what was happening but it felt as if i were in a bubble and everything around me was being pushed out, this to me sounds like my dp acting up which makes me think its just the anxiety. As far as any visual symptoms being reduced it hasn't done anything, i still see massive halos around lights/ starbursting and the beams that come off them, I will keep trying with it though. No, im not taking any other meds, what is topamax?

Well im on the 3rd day and nothing just yet, i think im noticing what you mean about the depth perception thing, like before i seen everything as flat so it was already fucked but i think now things are a bit more jumbled when i look at them, its wierd it could be just me thinking about it. Also i seem to have started to develop a shakiness, lots of twitches in the legs and stuff. But i am under a fuckload of stress at the moment so that could just be that

Yeh most likely, but for the time being i feel like a piece of shit, i got enough on my plate, i dont need or want anymore. This shit physically effects me, i cant eat, lose sleep, cant work (or don't want to) and i cant even take an anti depressant or some shit

Oh but despite all this i have decided not to drink as it really wont make me feel any better, as much as i would like to get absolutley railed i understand the risks and they are just to great, i believe if i was to drink and make my hppd worse i would not want to carry on
