No problem. I hate to see anyone go through it. BTW,you're not going nuts if that's what you're worried about.
It's basically treated the same way as Traumtic Stress Disorders these days,which are closely related to panic disorders caused by hallucinogens. It's treated with a combo of anti-anxiety agents,therapy and desensitization exercises.
As there are a ton of rehab centers on Maui,any competent doctor/counselor there should be able to point you to a good therapist who knows how to deal with it. You don't have to check in,just use them to help you find someone who's good in working with folks with this problem.
Research is being done into what used to be called "Flashbacks". It was thought for years that these were a purely pyschological phenomena,but in the past few years it's been discovered that use of hallucinogens can alter the way the eyes percieve light on a short or longterm basis. It's called Hallucinogen Persistent Perception Disorder,or HPPD. There's great website on it,just type HPPD,into your browser and it should take you there. It's great community of folks. The best thing about it is finding out that you're not nuts,which is what scares most people who have persistant problems of any kind after a bad trip.
Your cool,it's just a lil' glitch that's easily treated if you get on it early. Good luck!
BTW,PM me anytime you want to talk about it. I've been through the wringer with it.
