Recurring visuals?

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced a so-called "flashback"?
I have only done 'cid twice...but sometimes have seen traces, like from a strobe light, and "objects" that seem to appear in the corners of my eyes, then vanish when I look that way.
As most of the forum members seem to be much more experienced than I am, curious as to know if anyone else has experienced these...I assume most have.

What I was after was personal experiences of "flashbacks" and what have people seen, experienced?

 

I guess flashbacks for me is a very vivid mental image and a kind of reliving of a past trip, or another situation that involves lsd. Often they are from my one badtrip. It starts with a visual or mental trigger. Usually it's music like hendrix that make them happen. I have the impression that im much more lucid when it happens. I don't think people actually start tripping out when they haven't taken drugs

I get like 10 of them in one day but that's ok it's rather cool.

When you take lsd quite a few times, you have to agree with having long term visual disturbance, I guess. I always have static and abstract shapes and floaters in my vision. It's ok though.

In the corner of your eyes don't worry man people get those when they havent taken drugs ever.

 

i have a buddy whos done cid before and one time we were all really high (on chronic) and were walking down the street and he goes woah! and leans his head way back and were like what? and hes like "oh sorry acid flashback i thought i saw a metal bar infront of my face"

 

lol I think he wanted to make you laugh a bit

 

I love when everyone around me is quite, then one person says something kind of loud, and I feel like I'm all tripped out and fucked up. I guess that's the closest thing to a flashback I've ever experienced, and I've done a fuckload of acid.

 

Does anyone else feel like lsd have made them pretty crazy apart from flashbacks and so? Like disorganized thoughts that you know is but you can't really do somethin about it. Sometimes make you stuck and confused...And you know, stuff that is said in your head that you know you are creating it in some way but it's not your decision to have thought about it. ? Like music starting to play, and at the same time you are having serious thought that don't have any relation with the music? Thoughts flow and won't finish. Sometimes I ask myself if it's possible to think without it being your voice elaborating. You know, like a station that controls the voice thoughts.

I have the impression it's kind of getting worse even if i havent been takin lsd for 3 months...Is this just normal hppd you think?

Man people who took it hundreds of time lots must not be too functional.

 

eh, I was already crazy before I ever tried it, but I think mushrooms made me even more psycho

 

There only one thing that makes one crazy!

 

maybe youre going SCHIZOPHRENIC

 

Fuck that. I still have insight man. Schizo's lose insight. Its like alzheimers lose memory.

 

one's miss guided vocabulary!

 

Is that directed to me? I don't get it . Why do you laugh at me or sometn. Im just aksin about a preoccupation. And what about my vocabulary, english is my second language .

 

Went out last night. Didn't drink, smoke weed or do anything. But had a major freak-out. I was talking to this chick, and she melted right in front of my eyes, and her voice was all distorted. People seemed not to be understanding what I was saying, and were getting quite angry with me. I was getting real paranoid because I thought people could hear my thoughts, and everyone was out to mess with my words and make people hate me. Now the paranoia I could explain away with the marijuana use, but the melting and distorted voices? That has to be part of a flashback, does it not? Unless, as discussed earlier, schizophrenia could be the answer...

Very, very lost. Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder? I have read on a few sites that this can set after only one trip! This was the most informative site.

Let me know what you think.

 

Man looks like you didn't have a good time...It seems your case is worst than when you posted...The melting is proper to hppd I guess but the delusions I don't know.

A professional would help you better if it doesnt calm down.

 

That sounds more like a flashback/paranoia attack to me. Flashbacks have both a mental and sensory component. You might have had a psychotic epsiode which may be a symptom of schizophrenia but that is unlikely, the chances of getting schizophrenia is only 1 in 100 or 4 in 100 for stoners. Additonally schizophrenia has a prominent auditory hallucinations but very few visual ones.

HPPD is a common syptom of LSD use. However it isnt normally permanent and most who have it notice a gradual improvement in their condition for several years after quitting until they are back to normal. However your mind is completely sober and it is just your vision that is affected. I have this to some extent after 7 LSD trips, 3 mushroom trips, 2 mescaline trips, 1 LSA trip, and 2 2C-B trips. I get slight trails on moving objects, negative afterimages of objects when I look around, an increased number of floaters, and when looking at highly textured floors(so mainly grass with its many vertical lines) areas appear to be rising or falling yet end up in the same place, and severe static whenever it is dark affecting my nightvision.

Lots of people have it much worse than me. For example some guy on the shroomery says that once after coming down off of a thumbprint dose of acid he can now see bright colourful lights streaming from the cracks in his keyboard and has difficulty typing cause the letters seem to make a moving alphabet soup. It is this more serious form of HPPD that is the type which is normaly permanent.

 

You do not have schizophrenia, and you do not have "flashbacks" either. What you have is HPPD, and it sounds as if it is giving you serious problems. Perhaps in time it will go away, but I suggest you quit using all drugs (especially psychedelics) recreationally because they are not for you.

 

the logic error you have missed here is that schizophrenics, in losing insight, are incapable of percieving their own loss of insight. not to say that you dont have insight, only that you wouldnt actually know it if you began to lose insight

 

I went on a trip gone wrong, it was stronger than we all knew, and for a few months I had HPPD...of course I thought it was worse than it was because of my new contact lenses, which I forgot to take into account--I hadn't had a good presription in 2 years and I just thought "EVERYTHING'S WAY TO REAL, MAN". Funny story now, but I'm glad to say I havn't tripped since then (5 months ago) and I'm feeling normal. I'm not sure I really even need to do more, especially since my first time was very spiritual and profound.

 

whats hppd?
