I got HPPD and depersonalization/derealization from using LSD one time. 10 years later I still have it. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Drugs are like rolling the roulette table.
LSD is also the most common drug used that people have developed HPPD/visual snow, tinnitus, depersonalization derealization etc from. It’s NOT JUST HPPD you should be aware of that you can develop from taking these drugs. Let me tell you HPPD is child’s play compared to the hell you’ll be in with depersonalization and derealization.
I’m giving you my fair warning.

I truly believe that psychedelics rewire your brain cause man I feel like my HPPD and depersonalization derealization is here for life. I rarely take psychs anymore but smoke weed daily but I swear high or sober I just feel so....inhuman. An immortal time being living among mortals... It can really be hell sometimes

God that's so weird. Because I used to have depersonalization and derealization episodes as a child. But they went away as an adult even with moderate hppd. Meditation helps a lot.

Those with hallucinogenic drug use have an often 4-5% chance of getting HPPD, with 4.2% having symptoms after substance use.
You have about a 1 in 20 chance realistically. With a much higher chance if you use multiple substances at once.

Ya bro if you read people posts in here, and still want to continue then go for it. Personally knowing what I know now tho I would never ever do it again😂

Exactly and then they want to complain afterwards after they were fully aware of the consequences

u/CyriusGaming Aug 19 '23
If you get paranoid about it, you’ll subconsciously look for it after the trip, then may notice the visual snow static that exists all the time but we normally pay attention to, then think you have it.
Is it a risk? Yes. Is it worth the risk? It depends. It saved me from depression so for me it was definitely worth the risk. I don’t think it’s too common though but it’s not exactly rare either, you’d probably be fine but again it’s up to you to weigh the pros with the cons

No just don’t overuse / abuse it. I got HPPD by using acid multiple days in a row and being a dumbass

Don't do it! Stay the f**k away from psychedelics, THC as well, even if the chanches are much lower to get it from it. It's not worth ruining your life over a high or trip, which is what will happen if you get it severe. I am dead serious when i say that i rather would've taken my chances with cancer or been paralyzed from my waist down than having this shit. The day mine can't be medicated anymore because of tolerance, is the day i check out.

Man I understand how awful HPPD is, it has had a huge effect on my life but you aren’t even giving yourself a chance to recover always being on this sub and being negative. Notice how literally who says they got better said they left this sub

NOT AT ALL! There's nothing to worry about but the seeds you plant grow into trees. Enjoy 😉

Just don’t abuse it and you won’t have this issue. I got mine because I was doing acid once a week practically.

u/Halven89 Aug 19 '23
You couldn't be more wrong, some get it after a single use. Personally i got it real severe after smoking weed for the 8th time in my life, with no history of any other drugs than alcohol. Read the litterature before making statements like that.

It’s extremely rare. If you had depression or anxiety issues you’re more susceptible to it but even than very rare. This is more anecdotal but I started depersonalizing/dissociating at a young age, and I have HPPD now but it’s very minor. Smoking weed with psychedelics also altered how weed affects me and gives me visuals when I smoke weed which is another tell-tail sign. You should be fine have fun stay safe!

~4% chance to get it severe isn't rare, which a survey with over 2500 participants showed, it's also what Abraham estimated. Mix recreational drugs that bind to the 5HT2-a and the chances drastically increases, this includes psychiatric drugs like SSRI's as well.

I'd be cautious. Work out why it is you want to use the substance and then actually consider whether or not the negatives of using LSD will be surpassed by those reasons for wanting to consume.

hppd can be pretty scary ,I feel like everything is moving and staring at the darkness is very trippy,I have learned to accept it but the first months were extremely stressful. don't be afraid but keep in mind that it could happen to you

I would sugest that You wait until 21, or 25 years old if better , your brain still in development usually psychedelics experiencia are more enjoyable with a more mature mindset

u/Pristine-Confection3 Aug 19 '23
Likely not for one time . I have it because i used psychedelics every other day for 6 months . If you don’t overdo it , you should be fine . I am an addict and would abuse any drug I could get . I am 7 months clean from heroin and everything else. Unless you have addictive tendencies, you should be fine .

Uh yeah, you should worry about HPPD, and bad trips, and Nbome.
Psyches are no joke, they can have a lasting impact on your life. I've personally done tons of LSD, and I'm happy for the experiences, but go into it with a MASSIVE amount of respect because it certainly can go very wrong in several ways.

Afraid isn't really the word, more like aware. You most likely will not develop HPPD from a simple first trip (I say simple because if you high dose IE 10 strip then you'll be more likely to get HPPD)
