Cannabinoids are associated with changes in the density and sensitivity of NMDA receptors which can depict how THC and cannabinoids can cause long-lasting effects on brain structure and chemistry and increase a patient’s susceptibility to present with recurrent catatonia .

Nmda dysfunction is part of schizophrenia. Thats why they try sarcosine to agonise it

I had really intense closed eye hallucinations very immersive. I could also see them going on in my head if my eyes were open.
I think the only colors i saw was these red, green and blue swirling tornado colors going around the house and some dark clouds that would hover over my bros room.

Weird I figured out early on that I could make the world more colorful by staring and not blinking for a period. Stuff looked so beautiful that after work all I’d do is drive around smoking cigarettes and looking at stuff. Things were super vibrant. I lost that ability and things started looking dead and weird. I still hallucinate like that but it’s almost like left overs. When I get symptomatic it kinda flares up. ive gotten to where it’s not bad, but I’ve been hallucinating 24/7 for almost over twenty years now. I don’t notice it so much anymore and sometimes things look close to what they did normally. When I look around now it’s kinda like maybe I did a small dose of mushrooms. It’ll flare up on different meds or off meds or when I do to much or get stressed.

Can you tell me what they say is causing it? I am fighting mine.
I would imagine the schizophrenia is causing it. I use CBT to handle mine.
I think you’re doing great. My voices have been back for a year and no meds work any more. The tactiles are just under a year.
Every day is a new story. I could use every buzzword in the book that they have used to describe what is happening.
I am high functioning. I am fighting it. I try to live a good life to prove to myself I’m a good person. All my fears are irrational. I just want to thank you for being open about your story.
I imagine over thirty years for you would lead to quite a narrative for you. A lot of twists and turns in the mind. I wonder what thirty years of this looks like at the other end of the tunnel. Thanks.
I don’t regard it as all that special. It’s just noise and feelings that I have learned are completely safe to ignore, so I do.
