Since taking LSD for the first time, I've developed very noticeable visual static.

http://www.thevisioncommunity.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=78&Itemid=171

Set it to 15,3.

Although in the dark it's exponentially worse...

Also, if I stare at the carpet, it appears to be subtly moving.

If I were to drop again could the visual disturbances be aggravated?

Should I swear off hallucinogens all together?

I need advice.

What are the risks?

(ETC)

:(

If you were to drop again, the visual disturbances could possibly be aggravated.

To swear off of hallucinagins altogether is completely your choice. If you don't mind the visual disturbance, and think it's worth having worse symptoms of that are reminiscent of HPPD (because I'm almost positive that you don't actually have HPPD, rather symptoms that are like HPPD), then go nuts.

If you DON'T want to possibly have mild visual disturbance when sober, then stop using.

In either case, this is probably something you could have answered on your own.

Hrm are you sure you're just not panicking and over focusing on these effects? To be honest I've noticed that snow like and various visual disturbances (like the road subtly moving when i Was walking) stuff long before I ever touched drugs.

dude we can not decide for you fool

if it is fucking you up then stop for fuck sake

what do you mean by visual disturbances

He posted a link which explains it...

Anyway, I've never taken any hallucinogens, and I get that shit all the time, maybe you should just get your eyes checked or something first?

This.
Matching what I have, I'm about 13-19 on that, and it's been like that for as long as I can remember .. ie I remember noticing it when I was about 5 years old. Also I can get CEV:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_eye_hallucination I've got up to Level 4 , and if I put some pressure on my eyeballs and hold there for a few seconds I get some pretty complex form constants/fractals/swirly green patterns .. and the only drugs I've ever had are weed/alcohol , and had this before then ..

Also, if I'm outside and sorta gaze into the distance everything seems to be sorta 'getting smaller'/shifting .. and I've pretty much always had that for as long as I can remember too ..


Apparently benzos help ..

No, don't do it again. It sounds like psychedelics are not where you want to be.

How long ago did you drop?

I had a similar problems after the last time I dropped and typically do after any psychedelic. The good news is it went away after a month, but everyone is different....

dood just dont take it till the shit goes away permanently

i havent dropped in over a year cause of that shit and the fear that i'll break the sane damn in my head that has already been catastrophically fucked.

I've been doing hallucinogens since I was 13.

set it to 45 and the bottom one to 5 and you'll what I see.

although to me it's like a constant trip. things sway and move, colors look distorted, I have trouble recognizing peoples faces. things in motion leave trails.

all over evertyhing, it's awesome. sometimes I'll get mild synesthetic bouts and I love every second of it.

seriously, I consider it a positive long term side effect and embrace it wholly.

tripping hard and having strong after effects is amazing.

seriously. for me, it has been forever. right now i am starting at the carpet, but not focused on it, and i can see the individual strands rotating.

Same situatuin here.
Where did you hear benzos helped?

I can tell you from personal experience that klonopin works like no other, relieved maybe 90% of my visual symptoms...

Very possible that you just started noticing natural visual distortions after taking LSD.

this.

Definitely this. These are all normal and not even really problems. I can stare at something and space out a little when completely sober and could long before I touched any drugs.

Putting pressure on your optic nerve causes that stuff. Very normal. Staring into the distance and spacing out a little is also perfectly normal, I would call it a slight meditation.
