Merkan Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Well, since ive been completely symptom free for some time, i went to the gym and did some heavy liftening. Things like deadlifts and so. When i lett the gym i got symptoms back to where it all started. Took me a week to get ok: ish. I started reading about this at normal training sites about the role of the central nervous system during training. From what i have read the reason why you nere to rest between excercices is because there is a Dopamine deplition and more 5-HTP in action post excercice. To regain normal levels, you need 24-48hours of rest, but sometimes up to 3x that amount. I know neurology and its theisis isnt exact science but for me its clear that the 5-HTP/Dopa theory is a major factor in the symptomatics of HPPD. So, how do i deactivate my 5- HTP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntheso Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I didn't realise you were completely symptom free.. visuals included?What about some of the ideas outlined here?http://hppdonline.com/index.php?/topic/860-caffeine-what-gives-and-other-things/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merkan Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Well, i am symptom free with my meds (sinemet, Keppra, Clonazepam and some magnesium). But it went from being oblivious to full blown, please hospitalize me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merkan Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 When reading that thread, i believe it has to do with adrenaline, right? Would a more subtle approach be better, like taking my time between different lifts, not go all the way to failure etc.? The boost you get from workout feels good so it would be sad but better if its possible to manage. I am all in for the fitness look anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VisualDude Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Perhaps there is a way to adjust meds according to exercise. Are the symptoms you get the same as before meds? How do you feel when scuba diving? Does coffee affect your visuals? (please describe this one) Note: coffee reduces the risk of developing Parkinson's so must have some effect on dopamine systems. Also, many HPPDers report problems with caffine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbellamy09 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Doubt this will add anything of value but just got done shoveling snow/ice for 40 minutes and visuals are definitely increased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryC Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I did not know there was any issues involving 5-HTP Some people have used 5-HTP supplements without any issues. Are there any posts on the excess levels of 5-HTP on visuals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt this will add anything of value but just got done shoveling snow/ice for 40 minutes and visuals are definitely increased It is valuable input. Exercise doesn't change my visuals, but is good for mood and general health. But plenty report activity causing visual issues. I think it involves both histamine factors and manipulating the CNS through the ANS. Have done some experiments with the latter with good results. I did not know there was any issues involving 5-HTP Some people have used 5-HTP supplements without any issues. Are there any posts on the excess levels of 5-HTP on visuals? I find that both melatonin and 5-HTP (which are closely related to serotonin) have a mild negative effect on vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merkan Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Visual> Scuba is not swimming. Basically you are wightless and just flottning around controlling your position with your breath. I never felt any physical restrain except putting the tank on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fawkinchit Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Im pretty sure this has more to do with all the stimulant related homrones like adrenaline that are released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
