K.B.Fante Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 I think I already posted this somewhere but I can't remember so I'll post it again. Pretty interesting read... http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/d-brief/2017/01/26/lsd-trips-science/#.WRqGRFPyv-Z Link to comment

This article makes me wonder how much the 5HT2A receptors play a role in HPPD, but then again I always come back to the fact people get HPPD from all sorts of different drugs that don't affect 5-HT receptors, so it can't just be a serotonin receptor problem, right? At the same time I've also thought it so interesting how HPPD symptoms are so similar to the symptoms you get while tripping, which makes me think serotonin receptors are therefore the culprit. I just wish I knew... Link to comment

Not sure it's that simple. There's all kinds of things that could go wrong with those receptors that wouldn't necessarily respond to stimulus. Link to comment
