Does anyone have any experience with zdrugs like ambien and lunesta? Please share.

I don't mean to take away hope, but it can take over a year to recover. So for all of you that are still noticing decreasing symptoms after 1 year, it's probably going to take another year for zero symptoms.

I was always wondering about this one and I even think I started a thread about it a long time ago. I just quit smoking pot for the 20th time so I'll most likely be trying it very soon. Thanks for all the info and reports guys. one thing though, do you remember any of the negative or not good reports that you mentioned? how long have you been using kava?

thnks bro that helped a lot! I almost cant wait cause it means I get high as fuck and get painkillers haha!

thanks for the input, I decided to swerve away from the laughing gas and opted for the IV to put you under. I'd still like to hear some experiences with this though.

Im getting my wisdom teeth pulled in a couple months and I want to know what anesthetics to stay away from. Can people who have undergone surgery and have been put under share some experiences?

Might as well nip it in the bud if you're that sure it's an infection. It can mean the difference between weak antibiotics and stronger ones.

Tramadol is a SRA, forcing your brain to release serotonin and raising your seizure threshold. I wouldn't take it (even in therapeutic doses) for HPPD. Also, because of this its WDs are a lot worse than most other opis. When I make poppy seed tea sometimes it makes my visuals better but sometimes when I'm nodding really hard I'll come back from a dream and my visual snow has formed large shapes again, but this is probably b/c of all the different combinations of alkaloids. Any other opiate and I'm set though, just like shaolinbomber said

Also, forgot to post this which I found pretty interesting.

I kind of agree, but at the same time a lessening of symptoms and anxiety is pretty euphoric to me. Not in the neurochemistry sense, but psychologically. There's also a 'just one more pill' mentality you get once you start buzzing off benzos as well. A 2mg stress reducer can turn into a binge/blackout pretty quick. I have no idea how people can stay on a stable dose of this stuff.

How's it been after another week and a half? Did the fly agarics affects your visuals at all?

Ive been smoking pretty regularly in the past 6 or 7 months too. Multiple times a week lately. I have noticed an increase in symptoms lately, but im not sure if thats also because of other drug use (opiates, alcohol, speed, rebound visual increase after benzos are out of my system). Planning on quitting again in about a week when my spring break is over haha. Opiates and benzos only ever make my visuals better though, so ill probably continue wih the infrequent use of those. Also, i cant smoke more than a bowl of good pot without the assistance of alcohol or benzos to neutralize the anxiety. My visuals just stopped bothering me though, so i usually enjoy myself.

I contracted hppd while taking amoxicilin, however i took it again for a whole month without any ill affects. Im about to take it again in the form of augmentin for 10 days for an ear infection. Im sure there wont be any problem. I remember reading a thread started by merkan quite a while ago about a flare up while taking antibiotics. Ill have to dig it back up and see what he was taking.

I'm just wondering. what are your habits? I use pretty sparingly, usually go once a week taking 2-5mg of klonopin. sometimes I'll go a little overboard and take like 9-12mg (spread out over the day lol) but that just warrants a longer rest period. Tolerance builds really really fast for me, I can't even imagine how fast it builds for those that take it everyday.

good luck man! I feel really bad for you, but at least it sounds like you had some fun before HPPD set in haha. to get back to a normal sleep schedule, you need to start waking up earlier, having breakfast right when you wake up, having dinner at a set time (a couple hours before when you want to get some sleep) and maybe even fitting in some physical activity ~3 hours or so before bedtime. the trick is to get your body's cyrcadium rythm to change. Stuff like eating breafast right when you wake up when adjusting to a new schedule will adjust your body better to setting that particular time as wake up time. uh did that make sense? I know HPPD sucks, but it sounds like you're on the right track. I mean there's nothing wrong with playing videogames, just don't stare at a really bright screen fr 8hrs haha. It sounds like you can kick this, good luck!

I've read that one of the best way to remember something like that is to go back to the room where you had the original idea. If you're sitting in bed, and you want to get a soda, but you forget about the soda when you walk to the kitchen, go back to bed and see if it comes back.

1.yes 2.yes 3.yes (if you take 1 mg with a couple beers, you'll have fun. If you take 4 mg with some shots then find a couch cause you're about to blackout lol) 4.yes I don't get the big stigma against drinking and benzing. If you're responsible about it then there's nothing to worry about. I think they synergize eachother, but the alcohol does kind of overpower the clonazepam. Just hide your pills if you're preparing to get really fucked up.

there was a thread on here from a while back that was linking antibiotics to HPPD. I'm too lazy to find it but it should be somewhere around here lol. other than that I can't really help you, but I hope it turns out OK.

great to hear boogres I might try that if my visuals don't decrease after a while.

i hope it works it out!

Glad to hear it works! How bad is your snow on a scale of 1 to 10 before you take it, and how bad is it after you take it?

I'd lay off the trippy chemicals if I were you haha. Before I got HPPD I had only tried 3 different drugs...now it's up to like 16 haha and the only ones that really did any permanent weird stuff to me were ritalin and dxm (and of course weed, duh). One time I drank some poppy seed tea and ate 1 or 2 mg of klonopin (don't try it without someone else around you) and then when I smoked some pot my visual snow got really cool. I remember it was the only time I ever actually enjoyed visual snow, it looked like a plasma ball. Is that stuff even psychoactive? Also can you go more in depth about your kanna use?

So let me get this straight...these special strains get you high, but don't flare up your visuals? Are you taking klonopin daily?

eh...most drugs are destroyed when directly exposed to flame (obviously there are exceptions, but im just saying), plus it really isn't as common as most people think for weed to be laced. A lot of people just seem to forget that weed is a hallucinogen, and some strains can be really psychedelic. Plus hash WILL FUCK YOU UP BIG TIME, so if you have a low tolerance and say, take a bong rip or two of hash then that can make you trip balls. Hell, if you have a low tolerance you can have a pretty trippy experience from just normal weed too. I don't think there's any question about it that hppd and some form of ptsd are connected, I mean it's no coincidence that I'd say 95%+ of the members here who got HPPD from hallucinogens also had a bad trip. nah man now don't say that. Yeah, you did take it too far with drugs but that's the only reason you got HPPD, not cause of karma. At least hppd made you get your shit together so you're not some junkie living to get high anymore. I hope you've been able to mend your regrets, too. Also, I know that exact feeling of the promise-to-yourself thing. On my last trip I swore off hallucinogens but lo and behold me and a buddy split a tab when we were coming down. I probably would've got HPPD either way, but still... (damn guys sorry about the double post/wall of text, I guess it happens when you haven't been on the board for a while haha)

Smoked some of the dankest weed I've ever seen when the trip was peaking; shit made me trip my face off. At first it was the coolest thing in the world, but then my mind lunged me into a paranoid, psychedelic hell. I'll never forget how I thought "Hm maybe if I close my eyes I won't see this shit anymore" WRONG that just made it worse. Everything was fractalling really weird like. At least I had my music and a great friend help me get through it. After that trip i developed pre-hppd, saw circles in my vision but it went away after 2 or 3 days. A week later I dropped a couple tabs again (because I'm a dumbass) and woke up with full HPPD. shared a bowl later that night and some pretty crazy geometric pattern came up. And now here I am. I love complaining about how unlucky and unfair HPPD is, but to be honest the handful of times I tripped were some of the best, incomparable days of my life. It's such a shame I can't do it again, nor will ever experience MDMA. Then there's pot, which just isn't fun anymore.
