A cool reproduction of HPPD 'after image' effects and visual static
I know there's people that can relate to this. I'm now realizing something else, and feeling indifferent looking back at ten dragging years of #HPPD
Then again, that's a decade I've survived -- found a way to get through the most difficult days and adapt to change. Keep moving.
#HPPD people!!
I just got word of a research survey from @EdPrideaux and @PerceptionFdn!
This is the most in-depth research questionnaire on HPPD and post-drug visual changes! This is imperative to getting better numbers; understanding the complexeties of HPPD!

Curious detail in a paper on Visual Snow Syndrome, of which HPPD has been variously deemed a subtype. Some interpret their 'HPPD' - as with voice-hearing and visions in the traditional psychosis spectrum - as being of mystical origin. The same can apply to VSS!

The HPPD issue has come a long way. From no seat at the table and stigma to serious talks at one of the world's best research universities.
Finally, people are starting to open up to these drugs' serious risks.
There's still so far to go, though. We're just getting started.
UPCOMING TALK!
Join us online and in-person with @EdPrideaux for a talk about #hppd and #harmreduction with psychedelics.
TUES 22 FEB (19:00-21:00 GMT)

This is some of the best independent research I've seen into the cause(s) and treatments regarding #HPPD
@samuelstancl has done incredible work, delivering a comprehensive review of the most prominent theories and covering the complexities of HPPD.

It's weird. There's a huge and active Facebook group with thousands of members and I've seen almost no coverage of it
#HPPD, despite the name, doesn't have to be drug-induced.
Symptoms likely share a common pathophysiology with #Migraine.
I know migraineurs who only see trails before an episode. Treatment for HPPD is out there now, its just not being recognized.

How come no-one is talking about HPPD (hallucinogen persisting perception disorder). It's a real thing, not a DNA scramble scare story. A friend of mine shroomed for two years -- ulp! Here's the skinny: bit.ly/3zE9mX3

Whether dopamine triggers or reflects the appetite to mate has been unclear. Until now. Turns out that dopamine triggers desire to mate. Suppression of the same dopamine neurons triggers abstinence. Powerful stuff (dopamine). nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

For those experiencing hallucinogen persisting perception disorder, the effects of psychedelics never stop. nyer.cm/6t57S2l
When I first realized I had this as a teenager, I had to find out myself. Not a single doctor or specialist could tell me what was wrong. There was very little information on the internet at the time, and what I did see scared me. I had no one to talk to about this.
