Re: I used to want to try psychedelics, then I read about this... [Re: deCypher]

I had frequent bouts of depersonalization following a year of taking heavy doses of acid and DMT on a regular basis. The depersonalization side, I'll admit, is pretty fucked-up. Like I would touch my bare arm and I would feel it, but I wouldn't really feel it, if you catch my drift, and this is a pretty terrifying experience. This would usually be accompanied by melting scenery, and anytime I smoked weed during this period I'd be caught up in heavy, DMT-style visuals.

But then I stopped abusing psychedelics and started exercising and going into nature more, and it went away.

I can see why somebody might go to a doctor and ask for medication for the sort of shit I experienced... but like I said, I had to take shitloads of psychedelics over a very long period of time to get there, and even then it wasn't like some type of persisting neurological disorder. I was simply having difficulty integrating such a large number of consecutive unintegrated psychedelic experiences. I got over it, and now my vision is pretty solid again, even though I'm back into the habit of taking LSD frequently.

HPPD is bunk science
Never heard of anyone who had it, only heard straight bs stories like the banana boy. I am very interested in some kind of proof for HPPD, does anyone who isn't a :cop: or a noob have any experience with this?
As far as I'm concerned any literature on the subject can be put down as anti-LSD propoganda.
Any personal experience?

*by HPPD I don't mean seeing floaters and trails, but hallucinating to the point where one cannot function in society or has difficulty doing so.

Meanwhile
:lsd:

yes, exactly.  You are either awakened or asleep at any given moment in your life.  Are you aware of being here now? Congratulations, you're enlightened :cool:

HPPD is complete bullshit.

Have you ever looked up into the blue sky, and noticed floaters in your vision?

If not, you may be surprised to learn, while on LSD, that they are there. And since they have always been there, I'm afraid they always will be there.

HPPD in a nutshell. Your vision has never been photographic and it never will be. Some people can't get comfortable with this realization, so they complain about it to their doctors and get benzodiazepine prescriptions to deal with the anxiety inherent to their eyeballs not behaving like cameras.

:2cents:

TAKE ACID




I feel like a lot of people exaggerate their symptoms to say that they have HPPD but a few unfortunate souls do have extreme enough visual disturbances to count as an actual disorder... just check out the forum at hppdonline.com for examples.  Usually it goes along with DP/DR (depersonalization/derealization) so they're pretty fucked in general.




sounds like a minor case of schizophrenia rather then "HPPD"

I'm sorry but that's just a goofy thing to say.

We're always "here"

Mindfulness isn't enlightenment.

Ya for many people hppd is hard to notice cause perceptual changes happen so slow. I think I have it. But it isn't constant and it doesn't usually bother me unles I panic. Than I get anxiety which dramatically inreases the effects along with weed that's when the fun really begins. I saw a chair lift off the ground and almost turn completely upside down crazy shit. Just try to control anxiety that's how I cope.

I have very noticable visual disturances that I definatly didn't have/wasn't aware of before taking psychedelics. Psychedelics have been mostly positive for me... but I have experienced a few months of depersonalization after a period of heavy use- and honestly the visual disturbances can be annoying, especially at night when i'm seeing fractal patterns on everything even though i'm stone sober.

I am a happy, healthly, functioning member of society. I've tripped hunderds of times and use psychedelics to this day. The only real negatives I have are some minorly annoying (probably permanant, or at least very long lasting) visual distortions.

I personally don't think it's a huge deal, but if that's enough to deter you than don't use psychedelics because many people I know complain of similar things after using them.
