So, has all your trippin' caught up to you yet? Do YOU have the dreaded HPPD? Post yes/no, and what your drug history has been. Personally I have it somewhat mildly. When I'm feeling dazed out/tired and I stare off at certain patterns, I'll start to see it crawling around a little bit around my peripheral vision. I've done DXM 20 or so times, LSD and mushrooms once each, and I've been a heavy smoker for a couple years.
I do have some minor HPPD symptoms...patterns shifting/crawling, and strange emotional changes, this is probably accredited to when my dog used to grow me mushrooms, and I would eat them alot...(I have probably eaten over a QP of mushrooms)
what's hhpd? it seems to me like a side affect of prolonged drug use. in that case, yea i guess i do have it. I've done acid about 40, 50 times, mushrooms about 10 or so times, never smoked much but occassionally...my therapist told me the lsd n all caused a chemical change in my brain, that's why i act out so much, have depression, anxiety and all that. buuut, if i get high, i hallucinate and shit. if i'm stressed out or really tired, i'll get mild flashbacks, visuals. i've had some crazy dreams since i quit all that shit..i just drink now. but i can def tell the difference in my moods/emotions since i've done what i've done...and flashbacks are scary.
yes...most likely from all the acid and mushrooms but iv tried my hand on most anything you can think of. its no big deal, after a while it becomes your reality...to be honest i dont even remember what it felt like before i ate all those psychedelics...all i remember is it was different
yea, last summer there was so much acid around. i did it every weekend for like three months. me and my friends here, we're all so excessive. we do as much of anything as possible b/c we know it won't be back around for a long time...and like you said, i really don't remember what it was like before you're first trip. tripping just changes you somehow...and after having really good trips, really bad trips, and weird trips, and freak outs, i think i've changed.
I suppose I have HPPD. I think that everyone sees things like you do when you have been doing a lot of psychoactives, but after doing drugs a while, your brain picks it up more.
yes i believe i have this, i always see stuff outa the corners of my eyes now, shifting things shadows stuff moving, just yesterday i walked into my room and i looked at my fan and it was going full speed but then i looked gain and it was off, but then again i dont even have a fan in my room...so anyways, and sometimes wen i stare at something i start getting little dancing circles everywhere and they r all colorful and shit so i guess u can say i have it, ive tried alcohol,weed,dxm,caffeine,shrooms,2ce,2ci,coke
I've got it i think, when i look at things for long periods of time they shift and swirl a bit and i get weirded out sometimes for no apparent reason. i've done weed loads, acid, mdma LOADS! and mushrooms. Help i've fried my brain! peace ben
HPPD is persistant isint it? i mean. i have some fucked up problems, sometimes seein shit when i wake up, stupid shit. but i think if i stopped using psychedelics now, they would go away in like a year or somethin. so i wouldnt call that HPPD. i know someone who fried mass and his will NOT go away. THATS HPPD, so i guess no one would really know if they had until they stopped using drugs for a long time and it kept happening. i think of what i got as a constant afterglow from doing so many different types of tripps so often, all within the past two years.
Don't be so condescending, I've probably done more mushrooms than anyone here, or anyone in my state even, for that matter. While hppd is evident, I don't belive in it simply for the fact that it's always been there. I "suffer" many of the symptoms others have posted, but I've always had those. I think it's not that you did'nt see this stuff before, it's that you did'nt notice it. Many people have the same symptons as hppd, but have never touched a drug in their life, which would lead me to belive that drugs are'nt the direct cause, but it brings out the cause in us.
please don't forget the criteria for HPPD: it has to SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIR your everyday life, including your work or job. the minute visuals i get from doing psychedelics in no way impair my everyday life. i get hallucinations when i smoke pot - i love it. when tired i can stare at something and INTENTIALLY bring about crawling or shifting and breathing effects. i can get tracers too if i want. i've read that these things tend to go away a few years after stopping psychedelic use.... but i was doing acid just a couple weeks ago so i can't expect it to not affect my brain (as every single thing you put in your body affects your brain....). unless your symptoms are fucking your life up, you don't have HPPD. also, quit feeding it your mental energy and don't be scared by it. you'll just make it worse. peace.
Meh, I just think of whatever flashbacks I might have as psychadelic souveniers. It's all good in the hood.
Remember in 'The Matrix' when Neo begens to see, only the contrast between realitites, remember... when he sees everything in 1 and 0's... well that, metaphoricly, is HPPD.
I see floating spots all the time; sometimes when I'm in the darkness and I glare at a bright light, roll my eyes up and back to the light quickly, I'll see cells saturated in some sort of liquid roll down over my vision. When I close my eyes I see pools of fractals draining into eachother...other than these symptoms, I haven't experienced any other long-term side-effects from my hallucinogen use.
Sometimes out of the corner of my eyes i see things like ppl passing by the door then i look and theres no one there and for the first time tonite ive kept seeing out the corner of my eyes my remote controls moving along as if theyr bein pushed but when i look right at them they havnt moved at all could that be described as hppd? Ive never done acid and ive done shrooms twice and ive smoked weed for years now.
I've done a LOT of different drugs over nearly 20 years, including all the common (and several not-so-common) psychedelics, and I have none of the symptoms commonly referred to as "HPPD". I have only once experienced anything that would be termed a "flashback", and that was over 10 years ago, a few days after a high-dose LSD trip. That consisted of a few seconds of a disconnected, "floaty" feeling upon hearing a song (Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb") that was played during the previous trip. It never happened again, even when playing the song TRYING to recreate it. I suspect that some people are more susceptible to lingering aftereffects of psychedelics. Certainly anyone with any kind of latent mental illness (or a family history of it) might want to think hard before using psychedelics, especially at high or repeated dosages. The only people I have known to have had lasting ill effects from psychedelics were already somehow "screwed up" before they started using drugs, and were using psychedelics as a method of escape or a coping mechanism.
i see tracers every time i get drunk...is that bad?? last summer i did acid regularly....for like six months....so im sure that did no good...but gettin drunk gives me tracers...its weird...
