About a year ago, I started indulging in drugs. Me and my friends constantly indulged in weed and MDMA, occasionally doing Ket/Speed and LSD.
The MDMA we took would always be pure crystals, I've never tried pills. We would typically go through a gram between four-5 people in a night. I'd say we did MDMA about 10-ish times.
On many occasions I would experience MDA as a side effect.

My drug binge ended properly about a month ago, ever since then I've only smoked some weed 3-4 times. I'm worried because I'm pretty sure I'm suffering from some form of HPDD, because if I concentrate enough I get random, bright lights (like the visual noise kind) sprouting from objects in my field of vision, and general waveyness. Sometimes whatever I'm concentrating on starts wavering and bobbing. In a dark room if I concentrate hard enough, I can make a whole wall go black or erase an object off a background.

Can anyone with experience suggest how long is this going to carry on for? Is it permanent? Will it get better? Will it get worse?
I'm not worried as much as I'm annoyed, I very much regret doing that amount and would love for things to go back to normal. Is that a possibility?
 
You'll be fine. it will get better. ive experienced the same thing... although not for quite as long. give it more time. lay off drugs for awhile longer, especially hallucinogenic drugs. weed used to trigger mine. take lots of omega 3, ginkgo and piracetam, maybe some 5-HTP. eat healthily, exercise
 
That's exactly what I'm doing now. Started going gym and eating normally again. Did it completely go away for you?
 
pretty much. but ive been stupid enough to trigger it off again on various messy drug combos. always seem to recover though. the supplements ive listed help, give them a try. have you experienced anything similar after using LSD?
 
For the most part it should go away but sometimes depending how hard you used some HPPD effects linger for a long ass time. MDMA can for sure induce HPPD, and LSD as well. I know you used MDMA 10 times you said, but what about the LSD? Im just trying to figure out the amount of substances you were using to get a better idea of how bad your HPPD is. My HPPD was different when i was using MDMA semi regularly and smoking a bunch of weed daily with it. I wouldn't get actual visual disturbances unless i stared at the same spot for a while. What i got was things looked normal, but they didn't at the same time. It could have been my depth perception or something, but basically i felt like i was in a dreamy dissociated state always. And at night i would get extra static on things like walls and such.
 
I dropped LSD 3 times, one of these dosages was ridiculously high, about 600ug. Other two were average, ranging 150ug-250ug.
 
it's nothing to worry about at this stage, only if you keep doing drugs to keep triggering it, like ColtDan said.
i got HPPD from doing mephedrone a fair bit, its still with me and strong after 18 months, but ive been triggering it off by taking various drugs since then (even alcohol). been drug free (except benzos and cigarretes) for about 6 weeks now, hopefully itll die down. it should do for you too if you keep clean.
 
I'm wrapping up with drugs and just wanted to make sure my little adventure didn't do any permanent damage. Thanks to everyone who replied :D
