I'm sorry to hear that you also have this hell of an illness, but i'm happy to hear that you have learned to live with it! Yea, you're right, it's just hard to ignore with the visual disturbances, especially the static, photophobia, inability to focus/stare on details and ghosting of certain things. The brainfog/decreased cognition and horrible head pressure also makes me feel like a vegetable, like my brain is "fried". I really don't see how i will be able to adapt with this and live a good life. But thankfully the anxiety has decreased ALOT the last week, it's more gone over to depression and mourning over the person that i used to be prior to this.
Christ... I am anything but a "hypochondria". I felt great prior to this, took a couple of hits of CB for the first time in years, went to bed and woke up with all these symptoms except the tinnitus, that came like a week later. And as said, cannabis is an established cause in the litterature and there's several case reports were people have gotten it from it, and 've personally talked to several. It's also established that some people can get it from a single use of a psychedelic, our brains are very different afterall and how people react to certain drugs differ alot, and i think that my life with aura migraines and that i've eaten SSRI for many years greatly increased the chances of this happening. Anyways, i saw a psychiatrist a couple of days ago that gave me the diagnoses, i didn't even mention HPPD to her, i just described how it all started, my symptoms and that the antipsychotic that i was prescribed about a month ago worsened my visuals. So she prescribed me Lamatrogine (lamictal) since some have had some success with that, so i'm on day three with that now and i pray to god that it will decrease my symptoms while my brain hopefully can heal this.
