random sober hallucinations

[Matt the Funk]

I have the same problem. I was on abilify for a lil while. My doc had me takin 5MG for 2 weeks but I started getting really bad akathisia and random muscle spasms. I only get the muscle spasms every once in a while now but it is still more often then when I had NEVER taken abilify. Also, i get akithisia sometimes. Ever since i started on abilify i feel "broken" sometimes. I trip on words more often and my thought process is kinda confusing now. I dont take pills anymore, MY CHOICE. Honestly abilify made me feel that way the third day and i get that sometimes ever since. I dont trust the pharmaceuticals too much anymore. I was only on abilify for 3 months, but by the third month i had suicidal thoughts and the symptoms i described. Now i am prescription free, smoke some bud and i feel better. My temper problem is non existent on days that i smoke, even if its just once.:thumbsup: :rasta: :rasta: :rastasmoke:


EDIT:: I forgot to add that 5MG was way too high and he asked me to try 2MG. By taking 2 it just took longer for symptoms to hit and they were less frequent.

Hey man same thing! I've taken a few anti-psychotics and I am PRETTY sure I have athakisia or w/e. I get seizures too I think... idk how to describe it...like my body just starts moving around and I cant control it at all. For a week I thought a demon was controling me because I started saying weird shit without control of it too. Anyways one of my main complaints was of abilify was how it fucked up my speech and such and started to make me extremely suicidal. Anyways with what you see I see shit like that too. Just floaters or tracers or w/e they are. I get flashbacks and have auditory,visual,tactile,etc type of hallucinations too....anyways you shouldn't have anything to worry about imo.

I was talking to a friend who does psychadelics all the time and he told me its possible to get HPPD from marijuana as well, not just heavy psychadelics... This is due to the fact that Marijuana is considered a psychadelic.

When searching the term psychadelic drug in wikipedia they say:

"Cannabinoids (CB-1 cannabinoid receptor agonists)

The cannabinoids are Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and related compounds, which are capable of activating the body's endogenous cannabanoid system. Some effects may include: general change in consciousness, mild euphoria, feelings of general well-being, relaxation or stress reduction, increased appreciation of humor, music and other art, joviality, metacognition and introspection, enhanced recollection of episodic memory, increased sensuality, loss of inhibition, increased awareness of sensation, creative or philosophical thinking, disruption of linear memory, paranoia, agitation, and anxiety, potentiation of other psychedelics, increased awareness of patterns and color."

Often HPPD is confused with floaters. If you had HPPD, it would interfere with your vision so much, you would have trouble driving because ex. there's a halo that makes you vision slightly translucent. Floaters have to do with specks of protein and all the little bits of clutter that get in your eyes and it perceives in your vision it's moving.

Yeah man, its just bacteria in you eye, everyone has it.

yea the bactiera shit is a lot diff from HPPD!.. i think everyone has the floaters

Floaters aren't made of bacteria. They're generally collagen (protein) filaments floating in the jelly-like fluid that fills the eyeball. They reflect off the retina, which is why you see them.

Yeah the only thing I can think of is like when you concentrate on looking you can see these little almost chromosone looking things moving around repeating patters? anyone know what I'm talking about. Like its not actuall visual just looks like a spec of dust in your eye. Gaah idk how to explain it but that has been happened to me as far back as I can remember.

There's most likley a medical explanation for it. It could also be something paranormal. However, a while ago when I encountered something paranormal it was confirmed by others and I knew it was actually real. :s Just adding this in, you never know.

I know exactly what you mean, and its reassuring to know someone else gets it too lol! Sometimes I used to (even recently) fucking freak out about it cause I thought it might be like, cataracts or some serious shit like that. could it be? lol
I also get migraines like every few months and have pretty bad eyes all 'round
