what drugs increase or reduce HPPD for you?

[R_DXM]

I remember me as a kid asking my parents what these coloured patterns are, when I close my eyes.

I can also hear some sort of half-auditive hallucinations, after a day I've heard a lot of people talk. I close my eyes and bring my mind in a sort of receiving state, hard to describe, but then I hear a lot of random gibberish talking in my mind.

I can also 'feel' my body move while lying in bed after I did some repitive activity which had been very hard on my equilibrium senses - a ride in a rollercoaster, skiing.

I've always known that I see form of static when I close my eyes, or when light intensity in a room is not so high.

All of these things before I used any kind of drug.

I think HPPD in some cases may indeedly be about being extra observant for things, you never really noticed before. And you attribute them to the drugs you've taken - because this is the first time you saw these things intensely.

Of course I do believe some people might have developed some 'error' in their brain, which may do cause abnormal amplifying. I can never know how it is for other people, since I can not see through their eyes, using their brain.

But if you're only seeing static? HPPD?

Couldn't have put it better myself (though I might have put it just like that not too long ago )

Anyway, totally agree.

I dont have hppd but sometimes I do have visuals that last longer then the trip. phenethylamines in general are the worst for me... No matter what PEA I will almost I always have some type of visual distortions for 24+ if not longer (2c-I has been the worst for me). LSD will occasionally give me visuals for longer then the trip as well. Also for up to a day or two later smoking herb will bring out the long lasting visual distortion. But they have always gone away in time, infact I dont remember any long lasting distortions going past 3-4 days, and I mean theres been times when I tripped 6 days in a row. Tryptamines will also occasionally give me long lasting distortions but never as bad as PEAs.

so i keep on running into HPPD threads, makes me happy to know people do talk about it to an extent.

LSD increases mine for me defiantly as the last time i took it i was way farther out there than my friends that were on the same amount. mushies sometimes gets me a bit more out there......but not to the extent that i would say beyond what my friends are doing.

Also weed sends me into a trip sort of mode where i can actually feel lsd waves just pounding onto me. refreshing, but scary sometimes cause my friend usually listens to some really weird out there stuff so it kind of sends bad trip vibes my way. sometimes if i'm just sitting around doing nothing it will feel like that mushie load, like you feel just funny but just lethargic.

for those of you who don't think HPPD is real and it's all just in your head, i'm staring at my led zeppelin poster and the words ever so slightly move back and forth and up and down and was watching it shink and expand a little bit a few minutes ago, and my tracers when i move my hands or cigarretes are just amazing, any worse and i could spell my name with it like with a sparkler on the fourth of july.

It's not all bad though my static isn't as bad as i've heard about on the thread so far. but it's just one of those things that can't be helped, it's like getting caught driving (or anywhere) with pot. it's gonna be on your record for life that you smoke pot. well we tried psychedelics and they decided to leave imprints on our minds that let us know that we did them.

also read that it comes from bad trips, your brain freaks out enough that whatever chemical you are using kind of imprints (like stated above) itself onto your brain in a sense. so best chance of not getting it is try to not have a bad trip. as hard as it sounds

The best thing i could have ever done was forget about HPPD in general. Not that its not real, i had more visual disturbances when it was on my mind. I no longer even think of it and the static is completely gone. It helps not too worry.

Ecstasy- no effect
Acid- light static fuzz for a couple days afterwards
Phenylethylamine's-surprisingly little fuzz. Iv heard theyr absolutely horrible for hppd, but I havent noticed this.

I feel like modafinil tends to lower hppd. I don't know if it's only me or not.
A good sleep helps a lot (take a good nap one day, and hppd will be lower the next day).

People with HPPD can understand the world around them. They may see the most crazy things, but they can still read (mostly).

But it makes reading more difficult, that's annoying... you want to read then suddently words/paragraph change into patterns ... doh

 

[trippyhippieninja8]

I don't have hppd to the point that words that i'm reading turns into patterns, though sometimes the words will move up and down, sometimes be a little shaky at times.

i'm kind of worried about getting my wisdom teeth out soon and taking vicodin for the pain and whatever meds. i've had it before and know it gives me a high likes i've smoked a bowl or two of headies. but idk if that same effect will effect the hppd or not. i would rather not be walking around all tripped out for a week unless i can get a leave from school because of the surgery. if so then whatever happens happens lol.

Also i have tried forgetting that i have hppd a few times, things just get too weird sometimes so i decided to just live with it. It helps the dmt in my body enhance my dreams at night

That's not HPPD they're called floaters/flashers and it's just the vitreous material in your eyes.
