Seeing shadows in the corner of my eye when sober

[lynx2051]

Over the past two weeks I've been seeing shadows in my peripheral vision when sober. Over the past month I've taken am-2201, am-694, mxe, 6-apb, aMT, about 1-2 times a week (not all together obviously) and am-2201/am-694 nearly everyday. I didn't take any drugs for a full week and I still see them. I don't get paranoid or anything when I see them I just notice them all the time.

So on average I'll take MXE about two times a week and am-2201/am-694 nearly everyday, aMT and 6-apb about once or twice a month.

I don't understand the purpose of your post. Are you trying to ask a question?

I'm assuming you're wondering whether or not this is normal? The answer is no, it's not, and you should probably take a break. You're messing around with all sorts of research chemicals, and doing it often. Very little is known about these chems, especially the long term effects on humans. For all you know, you could be doing permanent damage to yourself and these shadows you're seeing in your peripheral could be symptoms of said damage. I'm going out on a limb, and I'm going to say that chances are you're just fine, but I would definitely lay off the RC's for a while until your vision returns to normal.

If symptoms get any worse, or don't get any better from a period of abstinence, I would go to the doctor and fess up about your usage.

Hmmmm

Does it happen more when you're driving? (If you drive)

I've heard of this happening with people who have psychiatric conditions like Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder but I've never experienced it really. People often report that it's worse when they're driving though. And I'm not talking about full on shadow people, just the constant shadows in peripheral vision. People talk about always thinking someone is going to jump in front of their car while driving.

Anyways, I can't offer much specific advice other than to say that it happens to people who have Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia when they aren't using drugs.

Of course I would advise that you cool it with all those RCs. I think you know everyone is going to suggest that. If you feel you have to do drugs, maybe consider using something that more is known about. I don't know how much those shadows bother you, but if you keep using so many RCs it's possible you could end up with more serious problems of some kind, so I would be careful.

Dude slow down on the research chemicals, those sound grimy as fuck. No wonder you are getting side effects, and probably setting your self up for HPPD. If you must use them do the mxe twice a week or w.e your doing as that is probably not too bad. But that am 2021 bull shit sounds retarded. stop. the. dirty. drugs.

Yeah, my first thought was either HPPD (hopefully transient) or perhaps sleep deprivation hallucinations. It can be indicative of more serious problems like schizophrenia and the like, but it is not exclusively correlated to them. If nothing else it would be a good idea to give your brain a break for a week or three. If you're still having issues after that, then it might be something to talk to a professional about.

yeah i get the same thing when i smoke weed

so i dont smoke.

try to see a doc and get blood work done. maybe you are low on vitamins e and d. Lutiene is a great pill for eye health too

I've had this kind of thing for longer than I can remember, I think most people do but subconsciously its wiped out. Spiders are the ones for me I often see them in periphery vision amongst other odd bits and pieces some more than periphery.

It think the problem is more about how much this is bothering you or affecting your life, I could put my issues down to LSD, MDMA, Hash..............but that wouldn't really help. Reality is such a strange old beast when you really get under its thin surface.

Sounds like a few weeeks break from all mind altering substances is all you need to me, if this doesnt help and you are still anxious about then you should seek medical help.

Best Wishes

In addition to what others have already said (and all things aside anyway!), you should really slow down on your usage of RCs. Just take a break for a few weeks. You've been hitting them pretty hard and now you're having a slight visual distortion/hallucination when you're sober? Take that as an early warning sign that you're indulging too much, and that you need to give it a rest for a bit. Our brain needs time to recover in between doses/sessions, so yeah, just take a few weeks' break. You'll probably find that after a bit of a break you'll enjoy/appreciate the trip more anyway

This will prob come off offensive and if it does let me apologize ahead of time. But I genuinely see less of a purpose with your post than what the OP typed.

He went through the work of making a thread. I understand not all threads ask specific questions but his question sounded rather specific. It could have a broad range of answers but what he said was still specific. Still a question is the same exact way. Any specific question can have a broad range of answers. Unless you need a question mark to understand when something is bothering someone idrk.

I'm honestly not trying to be an ass but if you made a thread on BL saying "I woke up this morning and pissed blood, and have not been taking any drugs this past week." then someone came in and said "I don't see the purpose of your post" would you not think that person was an ass?

i have HPPD, so thats probably why i see the shadowy things in the corner of my eyes, i hate it when im in the car or bus and i keep looking out the window to see something that isnt there, i must look stupid at times. Take a break and see if it gets better

+1 with Dave.

sleep deprivation can seriously twist up the mind & senses. it is the poor-man's LSD, after all.
having gone on many a multi-chem run, i know how non-existent sleep can be while doing so. fleeting shadows in the periphery are common when the 'ol noggin is plain worn down.

take a breather, and for fuckssake cut back on the chems. doing that many rapidly puts you at the point of diminishing returns and nasty reactions. they lose their magic, and you'll never catch it again unless you give your neurons a breather.

does it really matter?
it's not your problem.
irrelevancy & incomprehension usually work themselves out, and their presence in a thread doesn't always denote a flaw in character.

I appreciate everyones answers, Ill give up the MXE for a while. I've not noticed the "Shadows" much lately and it seems to be getting better. I should try and give the am-2201/694 a rest too, it's just that I can't afford weed at the moment.

Like I said these shadows don't bother me, I just notice them.
