You can't just take medicine and wake up the next morning Synesthesia-free, but if you go through some kind of traumatic event (e.g. a car accident?) it might disappear temporarily or, if the event is EXTREMELY traumatic, permanently.

∙ 12y agoNo, there is no 'cure' for synesthesia, and, in fact, the vast majority of synesthetes don't want their synesthesia to be gone. Since it is such a normal part of their life, not having synesthesia would be like a hearing person not being able to hear or a seeing person losing their sight. So even if there were a 'cure' for synesthesia, I don't think almost anyone would take the doctors and scientists up on their offer.
Additionally, I would note that asking if there is a cure makes synesthesia sound like a disease, something undesirable and harmful, and I would avoid using any term that gives synesthesia that appearance. In fact, synesthetes see their synesthesia as a gift and don't think of it any differently than other people think about hearing or seeing or smelling. It's a part of them and their daily life, and getting rid of their synesthesia is a foreign concept and more undesirable than any negative synesthetic response.

Synesthesia can be temporarily lost during stressful situations such as the death of a loved one. Also, sometimes head trauma can cause one to lose synesthesia. It really just depends on your situation. Chances are it'll come back, though. For example, I've known people who have lost their synesthesia when a loved one passed away, and after the intense stress and pain of that situation subsided, their synesthesia returned same as ever.
