I read more on scizo and i highly doubt i have that(but maybe i have some mental disorder that denies other mental disorders?).
But more on the hppd, i found a page with treatment and research on it. I think the treatment only works for the anxiety and depression parts of hppd...but i dont really know, check out the page.

When I did mescaline (san pedro) and tripped for like a whole day, my vision was totally changed for like the next two weeks it felt like I was still sort of on it and was never going to get back to normal, although thankfully it eventually did.
Mushrooms on the other hand don't seem to leave me with any lasting visual effects whatsoever.

yeah i would say you have a good old fashioned case of HPPD not schizophrenia as some here have said
while many here claim to have "visual disturbances" most are normal and completely benign and like others have said ONLY when it is interfering with your day to day life as LLoyd pointed out should treatment be sought
personally in my various readings of the subject i have seen that a holistic/ spiritual approach works better than a medical one, and the meds apparently just make you drone and robotic like.
id suggest going back on the psychedelic path if you feel ready, and aiming it towards the direction of self-healing, realizing these visual disturbances are all in your head, and YOU are in the drivers seat not anyone else. have someone you trust there, or if possible get a designated trip guide/ shaman.
it sounds like your dealing with it well, so even if the trip does not prove to help, you dont have much to lose.
good luck and i truly wish you the best of luck in overcoming this.

Lloyd.
I am also sorry that happened to you. That sounds completely awful. The reason I wanted to start this up is to get a clear notion of whether or not it exists.
However, do you think the Datura did more to you? I mean the pathways in which Datura (and other dissociative) are basically screwing with your sense of reality completely.
In a way they are the total opposite of psychedelics. They close up pathways. And from what you were saying about stopping for traffic that wasn't there. These all sound like dissociatives at work. Or at least a remnance of them somehow (whether in your brain or psyche).
Did you do heavy amount of dissociatves at high levels as well?

I didn't ever think it was a medical term, but I do for a fact have HPPD. I've done hallucinogens hundreds of times, ranging from 1/4oz+ of mushrooms to 8 hits of acid or week long ecstacy binges. Nearly 20 different hallucinogens nearly once a week for the past 3 years. I can be 100% sober and if I look at things with patterns they undulate and ripple. People, birds, bugs bubbles and odd shit creep into my vision all the time, and things constantly look like their moving when they aren't. Light trails when i'm driving occur almost every time i drive at night. However, when I'm working out, or have been clean of all drugs for over a week, these things go away almost entirely. Night makes it way more intense. My keyboard is moving up and down as I type this.

Ever since my first time with mushrooms, all lights seemed to have taken on a more bright and vivid quality, seemingly more noticeable and intense than before.

Same with me, Lights always seem to glow(not that im saying i have hppd or anything), I also pay a lot more attention to the detail on trees. This may all just be do to us paying more attention to things we lost before mushrooms.

Yeah, it's almost as if I always knew it was that bright, just never bothered to think about it before. Though I can't ever remember seeing lights as vivid as I do now after taking mushrooms.

HPPD is real for sure. Especially after acid and when you regularly use MJ. I still have it and got used to it but for some it can be tiring. I've also noticed that non-visual perception of reality is also affected. Normal things look funny and strange. For example, my roommate used to say "did you know that X is doing Y" then he giggled. Stupid but that's typical psychedelia.

Awhile back I tried to study HPPD to find as much info as possible. I went on that HPPD forum where there is kind of a community of people who have it and help each other out etc. The one thing I found in common (someone on the board mentioned this) with most of them was that they did psychoactives at a young age. Like 14-16. A surprising majority of the people in that community started hallucinogens at a young age. My question:
If you have HPPD, at what age did you start taking psychedelics?
Maybe there really is a much higher risk for young ones.

Oh it exists i have it. It's not as bad as it's hyped up to be IMO but that can vary from person to person. I have only had it really had a couple times. Things always move around and there is static and strange colors but it only gets unmanageable when I smoke or eat myself fucking retarded. Don't worry about it though even if you have hppd you can still learn to help manage symptoms.

I get a lot of visual effects, which are nice at times.
However what bothers me the most is the DP/DR and weird thought patterns that come with it. I hate those haha.
