Talk:Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder

message: Entire section seems to be based off one person's opinion, there is no scientific evidence that fasting from water, supplements or sunglasses can cure or treat HPPD in any form besides placebo. Adding "Some sufferers reported" at the start of a sentence with no citation or evidenced reference doesn't make it any more truthful either. I believe the section should be rewritten to only include the fact there is no good evidence to support any treatment for the condition besides abstaining from psychoactive substance use. Any reference to add would be good. Christiaanp (talk) 14:32, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Did. I only could find many studies on how Lamotrigine is used to treat HPPD and one small study for Clonidine. Big Brain Zero Time (talk) 16:33, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Treatment section needs an an entire rewrite or removal 

message: I think I'm just going to remove the " often reffered to as flashbacks" because there is a distinct difference, HPPD constant, it's damaged vision, flashbacks are just vivid memory of being on the whatever hallucinogen was taken.
::Is it always damage? After a fairly long stint (years) of LSD and Ecstasy use, I noticed that I had permanently enhanced colour sensitivity. Once I was able to actually point out to a graphic artist that some fonts on one page were different colours, when no one else could see it - we tested the RGB values and I was proved correct. For me the differences were not only clear but striking. One set of characters was a radiant purple and the others a shadowy charcoal. The others in the room were simply unable to see the difference. I know it's anecdotal, but there you go. No other negative effects - no trails, nothing. Perhaps an unhealthy interest in philosophy of mind and other such wastes of time.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.208.165.249 (talk) 21:45, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: My hypothesis is that the red and blue cone cells in your eye have either become more numerous and/or better connected. The shade of purple you see are due to your red and blue cones picking up on shades that their photo receptors interpret as black due to their red and blue not firing. You have an advantageous mutation. You were either born with it, or The hallucinogens have enhanced your vision the way stoned ape theorists believe early human ancestors developed enhanced vision through small amounts of psilocybin-containing mushrooms.http://www.lycaeum.org/~sputnik/McKenna/Evolution/ Perhaps the visual snow is an unwanted neutral mutation.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.12.152.123 (talk) 05:31, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Flashbacks 

message: This article needs some discussion of HPPD in the context of "flashbacks" of a psychedelic experience. I've heard HPPD described as a medical diagnosis of what is colloquially called a "flashback", but I've also heard of "flashbacks" covering a wider range of phenomena, and that HPPD is the most extreme manifestation of HPPD.
Also, this article is somewhat POV - the extent and seriousness of HPPD and "flashback" phenomena are questioned by many, and these questions should be addressed in this article. Peter G Werner 18:38, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Agreed. The LSD article mentions several theories as to the causes of HPPD, only 1 of which is mentioned here. Adding the POV tag for now, until someone with more knowledge of the subject matter  looks into it. Mzyxptlk 19:37, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Disagreed. HPPD stands for Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder. Flashbacks is a common misinterperit that doctors seem to think it is. Or simply just a term. Dcs937
I have removed my discussion here for the moment. I will be adding additional information, but this must be cleared prior to publication. David S. Kozin 23:17, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

text:  : Since someone more knowledgeable (David) has looked into it, I am removing the POV tag. --Generalmiaow 21:56, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Flashbacks

message: I would like to mention on this page that HPPD is very often comorbid with Depersonalisation Disorder which it is (a quick survey of dpselfhelp.com or hppdonline.com would show that about a third of HPPDers have Depersonalisation) However there is no serious academic article that says there is (apart from the forthcoming NODID study with has not been published yet). What should I do? Say that it's based on a web forum? There is so little about HPPD out there, but this is definitely true, just not backed up by research yet... Generalmiaow 23:28, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Citations

message: A lot of references seem to be research into symptoms that are similar to the effects described as "HPPD", but are not specifically about it. Some are merely research into "flashbacks", "depersonalization" and the effects drugs have on schizophrenics.Yonskii (talk) 01:38, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I added a paragraph on the exact similitudes regarding both pathologies and why it's important to differentiate HPPD symptomatology from the actual  "flashback" pop culture urban myth   -- Thanks for removing my insertion but the definition here is really wrong and should be updated. flashbacks have nothing to do with HPPD and is not the main symptom of it.

thread_title:  Visual Snow Syndrome similitudes 

message: The source for antibiotics causing HPPD is based on a forum post (Source 4). It should either be replaced with something more official or removed. I don’t think it’s a good idea to give unverified information that would make people avoid using antibiotics. 2603:9001:7C00:1123:E0BB:F4AE:7C2B:72B2 (talk) 16:33, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
