Hello, I did lsd two times in the past 4 months and I never ever had an residual side effects in the following weeks. Unfortunately, I did 1 tablet of MDA/mdma about two weeks ago and ended up having a bad trip. I had a couple panic attacks and bad anxiety for a few days after the trip. I haven't gotten anymore panic attacks since then. As of right now i seem to have mild visual static (amplified during the night) and some after images if i stare at a wall after starting a computer monitor for too long, in addition i have some floaters. I've stopped all drug use including weed and I was just wondering if I should go see a doctor or just wait it out and eventually my vision will return to normal. I seem to get a little bit of anxiety when i think about the visual static or if i stare at walls. I also seem to have problems getting a good nights sleep, although I've always had problems sleeping the first few weeks after smoking weed. All in all, I am just wondering if anybody else has experienced mild visual problems and if I just need to wait more. The visual static hasn't gotten any worse but I don't think it has gotten any better. Thank you.

TLDR: I have mild visual static, floaters, and after images after a bad trip, I've abstained from all drug use and I am just wondering if I should go see a doctor or just wait it out.
 
As far as the visual distortions go, will I see a gradual reduction over time, or will I just wake up one day and it will all be gone? Or does it just vary per person?
 
The HPPD will go away on it's own schedule. Get outside and get some cardio if you can. Pumping some fresh blood and oxygen to your brain can't hurt. You'll just feel better and it will help you sleep. Unless your doctor is hip to psychedelics I see no reason to tell him. He'll just hear that you are a druggie and he'll be less likely to prescribe things for you which would be a good thing in my opinion.
 
^^^ All of the above.
Plus, make sure you use the same terminology as you do here: visual distortions. If you drop the word "hallucinations" or perhaps even "HPPD" in a doctors' office, chances are you'll get a different kind of treatment altogether.
I feel I have some mild form too, except mine are more in the form of feeling like I am tuned to a different radio-frequency most of the time. I don't mind... so far. If you feel that the flashes and all can get dangerous if they startle you whilst driving a car or something, that is a different matter altogether, too..
Good luck!
 
i've had visual distortions from tripping too often in the past (including some mild patterning and fucked up depth perception). it will go away eventually. the most important thing is to stay calm, anxiety greatly amplifies the symptoms. DON'T PANIC (;)) and don't check up if the distortions are still present, simply ignore them, relax and give it some time.
 
Thanks for all the replies, these past few days have actually been a lot better, I've noticed that if i simply occupy myself whether it be exercise or hanging out with friends any visual distortion is significantly reduced. I am looking forward to the next few weeks as I feel it can only get better from here. No need to see a doctor anymore!

I had really really bad floaters after one of my early trips on 4-AcO-DMT. I was worried, thinking it was HPPD at first, but it got so bad I thought I was going blind or something. I went to the ophthalmologist and asked about it, they told me those floaters have always been there I've just suddenly became more aware of them, and advised me not to think about them and try ignore them.

After ignoring them for about a day they disappeared completely and I haven't seen them since. Just a few regular small floaters here and there.

In my experience the same works for visual static etc.

I wouldn't refer to it as HPPD at all. I think you've just became more aware of what was likely already there. Just try to ignore it and see if it helps.
 
I've been having pretty bad HPPD last week from tripping wwaaaaayyyy too often.... but the last couple of days I've been eating a shit load of carrots. That seems to help lol...


Get yo bunny on!
