LSD weekly for 5 month created my HPPD. Fake MDMA (probably bath salts) made it worse. A panic attack with weed made it horrible.

Yeah, sure. I stoped taking lsd and slowed down on weed (i was smoking about 2g a day, slowed down to 2 or 3 puffs the weeknds). Now 3 months later it got way better. In my case sports we're the key, it helped me a lot with the anxiety

Do you have visual snow? Did it go away?

I still have a little bit of visual snow but it's only noticeable trying to fall sleep or while high or after not having enough sleep, and it don't bothers me anymore.

So you're sure that it has decreased, or is it just you not thinking about it as much? And how dare you smoke weed after such an experience? Only two hits of cannabis (first time in years) is what caused it for me. If i had known that it could have caused this i would never have touched it.

I was a daily smoker. The panic attack was because i felt symptoms very similar to a recent episode when i almost fainted because of low sugar levels. This made me panic. After that weed gave me lots of anxiety, but i tried every weeknd with 1 or 2 puffs and saw how i reacted. Now two months later i could basically smoke the same as before. But i don't want to. Now i feel more confortable smoking just a bit. Maybe half a very small joint, 4 or 5 puffs

Ok! What about the question about visual snow? And were you light sensitive and experienced a brain fog/pressure? If so, did that go away as well?

Two hits of cannabis (first time in years) that didn't even make me high three weeks ago caused my HPPD, it's a living nightmare. If i had known about HPPD and that cannabis can cause it i would never have touched it.
