myrslingerbult Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Cognitive dysfunction, visuals and dp/dr. Visuals are getting worse dramatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammywalker2009 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Damn it's not one of those things where it's got to get worse before it gets better is it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrslingerbult Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I've got no idea but if the visuals continue to get worse I'll end up insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrade Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 myrs---your best bet right now is klonopin or ativan or low,low dose antipsyches & maybe an SSRI [be careful of what combination first, talk to doc] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrslingerbult Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I think i'm gonna try keppra for some more weeks due to the fact that it had helped a lot of people with HPPD, including my friend here in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Smith Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 DO NOT TAKE ANTI PSYCHOTICS thatll fuck you up ten-fold... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrslingerbult Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Antipsychotics are bad for treating HPPD but they can help against dp/dr in low doses. I was on Seroquel for several months because my doctors thought i had a psychosis at first. Abilify and Zyprexa fucked me up bit Seroquel didn't do much at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey_magic Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I've started on keppra (500mg) three days ago. Nothing at all improving in a visual sense. General anxiety seems slightly worse also.(allthough not had any klono for a week cos I blew a months prescription in a fortnight before I started the keppra, so obviously a bit of WD in there). I do feel slightly that I'm 'seeing" things differently and my thought processes are maybe 10% more linear. Still waaaay off any baseline. Dunno if that's placebo though. If it is a 'worse before it gets better thing', then just gotta suck it up I suppose. My brain will take 6 months to rewire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrslingerbult Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 300 mg was my daily dose of seroquel but i don't take seroquel at all anymore. Good luck with your Keppra trail, 3rd_tour_of_duty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey_magic Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Cheers bro. You too. Early days!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrade Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Myrs- 300mg is a pretty large dose for someone who is not clinically psychotic. I think if you were on 25mg, it could be beneficial in the long run. The other option would be Celexa IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
415_stylee Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I see that you're from Sweden so i'll turn over to swedish now. Jag kompletterar keppra med omega 3 och hittills har jag inte haft några utbrott. Good to hear! I´m a bit worried how much anger I´ll get from Keppra, since I have a tendency for anger. Jag är ett "bokstavsbarn".. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrslingerbult Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Så du börjar också med keppra snart? Jag har ännu inte haft några utbrott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrade Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hey i know Sweden has a real history with harness horse racing. I was training these horses in the USA. You guys know anything about it in your country?? [the Ellitlopp]. (some of the best horses in the world) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrslingerbult Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Yeah, horse racing is pretty big here in Sweden, you can bet and win loads of money. I don't know much about horses at all though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey_magic Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I need a break from Prozac -mg, I've tried a good few different ssris though to no avail. Don't think I've tried celexa or seroquel though. (I got trialed on a lot of shit when I had a breakdown years back). Including citalopram and mirtazipine. What's the diff mechanics wise between Prozac and celaxa (and or/seroquel). Prozac really done a good job on me a year into my hppd, but I've never been able to recreate it since it stopped working as well. Must be something in the mechanics of pzac that worked well, be it a certain serotonin receptor or dopamine. (Dunno if dopamine receptors are involved in pzac mechanics, allthough I read that pzac a not as selective as other ssris). I've never tried any dopamine based meds though.
