A couple of comments -
I've had HPPD on and off; it doesn't particularly bother me. I deal with it by thinking of it as the gift that psychs keep on giving (odd as that may seem). It just is. It's something that comes with the territory of too frequent (for me) psych use. It is what it is.
What does cause me some distress is the occasional flashback. I've had 4, maybe 5 in four years. As far as I can tell, they are related to periods of extreme stress coupled with weight loss and frequent pysch use. They are full blown trips that last about 30ish minutes. I always take these as a sign to slow down.
Bad trips? I'm not sure I've had any. Uncomfortable ones yes, bad I dunno.
Take this for what you will, but my HPPD has been as a result of mushroom/4-AcO-DMT and 1P-LSD. Flashbacks mostly because of the mushrooms
@ 240sxLover While I agree that becoming fried is at least partly due to one's own psyche, I also believe that frequency and degree of psych use plays a part too (although those are a reflection of one's self to an extent). Fried I am not....yet
