Thank you for sharing your experiences - can I ask specifically about your visual snow syndrome? Is it improved now? Totally cured?

I always thought any kind of SSRI or alike will make it much worse, as many people on reddit indicate they caused it for them.

I seem to be in opposite camp where SNRI actually lift like majority of visual snow syndrome, but that was not the only syndrome I had. I believe I had something more like HPPD.

Believe me, I was scared as hell as I thought these meds will make it worse, and I am really glad now that I did try them and they did work for me. I still have a really small amount of snowing, but I can ignore it entirely and carry on with my life.

    Thank you, that's good to hear and quite surprising to me - I have a friend with VSS, and so far they've just been told that there is no known treatment for it. This will be something to look into I think.
