I remember the Nintendo issue. So this is something like that where they don't know quite yet because nobody wants to put up the money to help people with this condition. But it's something about the occidental lobe and the visual processing center being basically disinhibited by psychedelics.

Yeah. And actually, so according to HPPD science, the brain has a self-correcting mechanism that clears it up before exporting the final high res.

Yeah. It's not necessary. It's not real. And so I see that and I see extreme eye floaters. Like I probably see a hundred black squigglies right now.

What I've done is I've trained myself to prioritize other senses. So I'll try to live a lot through hearing and sensation. Like when you're doing through HPPD therapy, they say, be grounded, feel the earth through your toes. Just don't look at eyesight as the main way to perceive the world. It's generally the most important sense.

Yeah. So the first person to research HPPD was Dr. Henry Abraham, was from the American Psychiatric Association. He lives in Massachusetts. He theorized in the 80s and 90s that it was benzodiazepines, particularly diazepam and Xanax, that could help you not think about HPPD. It doesn't take it away, but it stops the anxiety mechanisms. And alcohol works as a suppressant.

But the problem with alcohol is it makes you forget you have HPPD, but it makes the symptoms worse over time. And this alcoholism is generally bad. Oh, okay. There are scientists now who are pointing to a couple different treatment options. One of them is over-the-counter magnesium every night, which apparently has worked for some. And the other is an epileptic medication called lamotrigine.
