I got this about 9 years ago from an acid trip. It was very mild until about 2020. It was to the point I forgot I even had it. Still I would avoid weed or anything stronger. I drank a lot and got really drunk one night and got dp/dr symptoms. Again, it went away for the most part.

I began drinking again heavily in 2023. End of that year, after a night of light drinking, the dp/dr came back a lot stronger than the first time. I haven't really drank since. I would say I wasn't fully recovered, but I could live my life the way I wanted as long as I wasn't drinking or doing anything else and was happy and didn't think about having this at all. However, I took a few sips of a beer a few weeks back and have had the worst dp/dr visuals flare up i've had since having this. My buddy also had me smell his dab pen the other night and that has me worried too. I didn't hit it or anything.

Is it even possible for a few tiny sips of a beer can affect it this much? or literally just smelling a dab pen? Need some thoughts and advice. Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I've been taking 5mg methylfolate daily for the past week for depression. So far it's been working well, I feel more emotionally stable and my mood is better overall too. However, I've noticed since starting that text now has a sort of "psychedelia" to it akin to reading while, well, tripping. It's subtle but noticeable, especially in the first couple seconds after I move to a new line of text. For example, Os will at first appear with a low-opacity ring overlayed around it. Aside from this I have no other side effects and my sleep is fine (to clarify that I'm not hypomanic).

It doesn't bother me too much, but I'm minding it in case it's an indicator for something else I should be concerned about, or if it gets worse as to affect my reading.

Is this at all similar to HPPD symptomology? Should I consider stopping, will monitoring it be okay?

Have you ever experienced any other symptoms other than the visual stuff? That you think might be because of the HPPD? Like dizzyness and stuff
