I have developed a really horrendous case of HPPD recently. I've actually had it for about a year, but recently due to heavy psychedelic use the symptoms have increased ten-fold. To be honest I'm starting to get a little freaked out and paranoid. Does anyone have enough experience with HPPD to tell me how long it takes for it to go away or at least die down? Right now it honestly feels like im waiting to come up on 2 hits of blotter. Do I need to abstain completely or just cut back for the symtoms to diminish?
abstain completely. try not to smoke weed or drink caffiene. in general just dont do any drugs lol. besides xanax, which counters anxiety problems and calms u down. it could take weeks, months, years, or it could never go away. whats the damage?
Perma fry dude. Just stay away from it for a while. It will go away after a while. Happened to me also after 3 months of frying every 3 days on 4+ hits per session.
That question was brought up in an earlier thread so ill just copy and paste. where to begin... it started out with mild tunnel vision, and when I would look at any source of light it would burn into my vision for about 10 seconds and leave this neon-flourescent trail, kind of like a flash from a camera leaves those colored spots. If I focused on anything it would breathe mildly...it was easily ignorable though, it seemed it was only present when I thought about it. that was after all the shrooms and MDMA, I had only done acid about 7 or 8 times at that point... Recently after all the acid its gone completely fuckin crazy, its pretty gay actually. I close my eyes to sleep at night and its like all i see is static from a t.v. set. I was lying in my bed the other night in the dark, and my ceiling looked almost like it had those glow in the dark stars on it. I can tell its because of all the LSD, because i contantly feel like i either just dosed up yesterday or im waiting for 2 hits of blotter to kick in full swing. If I stare at the floor or the ceiling its almost like I can see those vine-like patterns that you see while you trip (to a lesser extent of course). Its really hard to explain, it was really the last trip thats had the most lasting effect, the one this thread is about actually, so im still hopefull it will die down a bit. I hope it does at least or I wont be dosing for a while. And alchemist....i have a 500 mg supply of 2ce comming today, think that will be just as damaging as acid...i realize that is a stupid and obvious question but I fucking love 2c-e and ide like to at least get a couple trips in before I halt. How damgaing do you think that will be to my already over stimulated nerve endings?
it should be pretty obvious what you need to do. stop. and count yourself lucky if it gets a little better over the next few years. if you continue it will only get worse and stay worse. simple. it just comes down to whats more important to you, Trippin, or getting worse longer lasting even permanent hppd.
try to find the advantages to being high all the time... any negative effects that you are feeling or experiencing are your own creation. you would be best to embrace this new you as if it will be around for a while. trust me - there is nothing worse then fighting it - so embrace it. you have done this to yourself for a reason you may not be aware of. do you meditate? learn to center and balance your energy... if you let the energy flow freely you will learn to love the after effects of LSD. i am high as can be and i hope i never come down. i will never be like everyone else and fit in with them so i dont even bother wasting my time with normal people or normal life. your nerve endings are not damaged - this is only a figment of your imagination. you believe it to be that way so as far as you are concerned it is that way. you are creating your reality - create it the way you would like it not the other way around. stop feeling sorry for yourself and start being thankful. keep on tripping. maybe space them out more so you dont get too spaced out.
personally ive never had a trip i couldnt handle, but HPPD was the only thing to scare the shit out of me and want to stop tripping completely. i dont like the idea of tripping for the rest of my life and consider myself lucky to only have slight HPPD effects that dont interfere too much with every day life. and yes 3xi is right, you're not damaged you're brain is just sensing too much all the time. too evolved i theorize.
Myke what syptoms are you getting ? I had it real bad in my mid 20's after years of abusing Hallucinogens I think it came on from LSD and Angel Dust myself. I still get floaters alot and Halos over and around objects every now and then. I don't get trails or light and color fading, Shape changing, Fuzzyness etc, some times the world would look like I was on Dust again it would get so bad. I use to hate it. also if you abuse stimulants like coke it will make it so much worse. It should go away if you stop using shit real heavy, Which means give the Hallucinogens a dam rest for a few months.Most of what I have read and people I know the heavy symptoms will go away after you stop using Hallucinogens real heavy, That is what the main cause of HPPD is. 99/100 people who use Hallucinogens every now and then don't get HPPD or even people who use them a few times a month usally don't, its people who fuck with Hallucinogens real hard and all the time. So your best bet is stop or just slow down for a little bit !
Yea, Id agree with that. I don't have HPPD but ever since I've started tripping I do see little moving lights and little balls of light that move around whenever I'm looking at something that is being lit by sunlight. Its not that bad, I would really just recommend just letting it be. Don't fight it or focus on it, just don't think about it.
to be honest, i havent really slowed down at all...its like slowly with every trip i go on, I bring back visual snip-its from every trip that dont go away even after the trip has ended. I had a very VERY good trip last night, and im determined after one more next weekend to chill with the acid till festies. I dont need it as much as i thought i did, and i find myself lately just dosing for the sake of dosing, and i shouldnt abuse like such. My last one was so good though, i feel the need to repeat it at a different envirnment and at a slightly higher dosage. I hope the visual disturbances do at least die down to some degree after abstinence, i feel so fucking out of it all the time, it gets a tad annoying.
fucking slow down than dude. dont relly on it miraculously getting better, cause it only will slightly. its gonna be their forever.
yeah. your right. I know this sounds immature, but all my trips recently have been getting so rediculous and powerful. Lately I can go so deep and control my trip to such a point that it seems like the possiblities are endless while im in it. But then when I come down I want to continue it so bad, all the while knowing that i really need to slow down. It sucks, because i really do love LSD so much, its gonna be a rough change wen i have to stop or drastically cut back at least.
i understand where your coming from. after a while the world can seem to trivalous that it doesnt matter at all now cause you see life as it is, its depressing, but at the same time you just end up takin to many drugs. somethings are best not to know, our minds arent ready yet. at least thats how i see it
yeah i suppose. I dont regret tripping as many times as i have, i just wish there was a way to continue and not be permafried...in an ideal world ide find some chemical to completely remove the tolerance factor, trip for 3 days off like a 10 strip and come down completely normal afterwards without so much as a single tracer....but thats in an ideal world
Dude, All you ever talk about is how much you love L, but when you talk about the effects it has had on you they are all negative. You should probably lay off psychedelics there not doing shit for you.
they do plenty for me. If they didnt, then i wouldnt do them...if i wanted a buzz ide stick to heroin and crack. I never talk about "negative effects of L" ever...never once, HPPD the only one iv EVER mentioned... and its somethin i have to deal with, its not a big deal i dont boast or talk about it, i made a thread about it eons ago and it got bumped, so i mentioned it again. If it were that big of a deal i would have stopped tripping months ago when this thread was made. I just went on a huge rant and got all defensive, but i read your thread wrong and misinterpreted it completely. If you can still read all that below what i wrote initially, then my bad...just ignore it, its meaningless rambling. Iff you cant see it...then ignore this statement as well
