I've searched but no one seems to have an exact answer to my questions.
About three weeks ago I had a four day weekend and decided to do my first acid trip with friends (I had done some before by myself and with my partner). It was a low dosage and I found the experience deeply unsatisfying - I felt responsible for everyone else and didn't allow myself to get immersed in the trip.
So 48 hours later I decided to trip again. It was a bit of a mistake, I was really bored by the experience and after about hour five I just wanted it to end.
Since then, I've really started noticing patterns on things and I'm not sure if I've caused some sort of damage.
My questions about HPPD:
Thoughts?

My questions about HPPD:
- Am I actually seeing things differently or do I just know what to look for?
- [Examples: I can make text move when I unfocus my eyes; I can see "watermarks" on concrete; I get faint visual noise when looking at very textured surface; I'm noticing tracers]
- [The effects are more dramatic when I'm tired/stressed]
- If this is HPPD, does this only affect the visual senses or am I likely being affected in other ways?
- [Is HPPD linked to Schizophrenia or can it cause aural or tactile hallucinations?]
- Should I avoid LSD in the future? If I get effects like these after my sixth trip, could they worsen dramatically if I continue to trip?
- Is there any way to avoid psychedelic induced HPPD?
Thoughts?
