(Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder)
Thanks!

No, I'm sorry and GL!

HPPD: Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder is a long-term condition caused by taking hallucinogens. People with this condition experience perceptual (usually visual) distortions even after the "trip" is over and the drug and its metabolites have left the body. Under some definitions it is a requirement for diagnosis that the distortions affect the person's ability to function normally. It is a DSM-IV diagnosis with diagnostic code 292.89.

To Treat:
HPPD ceases on its own in many cases. It is generally advised that the person discontinues all drugs (even those that may not appear to be related to HPPD). There are indications that continued drug use can worsen the condition. The recovery may take considerable time (from several days to several years) and may either be gradual or sudden.

There is currently no known cure of HPPD, however, some medications (such as benzodiazepines) may lessen the symptoms (particularly the drug clonazepam/Klonopin appears to be helpful). People with HPPD can learn to habituate to the condition and be able to lead otherwise normal lives. Some medications (such as antipsychotics) seem to worsen HPPD symptoms in some people but may lessen them in others. Treatment of HPPD should, if possible, be undertaken by a psychiatrist with experience in treating the disorder.
