Anyone recovered from severe HPPD?

For the past 6 months I've been suffering from severe HPPD and constant head pressure. I see after-images from everything I look at, can't see straight lines because the lines are keep waving, thick visual snow, slightly moving and breathing walls, floor, ghosting vision, and all other HPPD symptoms. I've quit all drugs including alcohol since then, although I used cannabis a few times I've quit that as well. However after 6 months since I got HPPD the symptoms are just as severe and there is absolutely no relief.In fact the visual snow and afterimages got a little worse than when it started. When do these symptoms start to reduce in intensity? Anyone recovered from it or feel much better?It is causing me an extreme stress and I really need some assurance from people who know about this to get through this. Doctors can't help with HPPD, I've already been to several doctors and went through many tests as well. Please I need your help.
 
Yea, I've been through this exact same thing (minus the head pressure). Rest assured that once I stopped taking psychedelics, the worst of the hppd was gone in a year, and then another year for the more minor stuff to disappear.

Try not to worry, it will go away. Back when I had it, I thought I'd broken my head completely. The Internet was in its infancy back then, so I had no idea what was going on. It was only years later that I heard of the condition hppd. So yeah - try and chill about it, and don't hammer the psyches so hard on future. It happened to me over time, but what kicked it all into overdrive was this one time I accidentally took 3mg+ lsd in one go.

Thank you for your response. It happened to me overtime as well, and I think overusing MDMA and cannabis for a whole year exacerbated this.
Did you experience worsening of your symptoms before getting better? When did you realize that your visual symptoms started to improve?

How did you get such bad HPPD?

I have no idea why I got it such a severe HPPD. I got it one month after using less than 180mg of MDMA, however I was on cannabis all the time for a whole year so I think cannabis might have exacerbated this. I've tried shrooms and acid too but I doubt these had to do with my HPPD because I only have done it 3 times in very small quantity over a year.
 
I had a feeling it was MDMA, it has given me vision problems also. I dont use the term HPPD because my issues are mild and not effecting my life too much but just to put it into perspective prior to MDMA I had taken lots of shrooms, in doses up to 5 grams, a fair amount of LSD trips, about a dozen cactus trips and a whole lot of other drugs and while I owuld not say my vision was the same after all this, none of it gave the vision problems I got from taking MDMA a couple times.

MDMA has some great mental effects but its not a safe subsstance in my opinion.
