cocaine overdose symptoms?

If you like feeling like your heart is going to explode and you can barely breath then cocaine is the drug for you

 

If you are reading this because you are think of taking coke for the first time, my advise is to never give in; don't take that first line, once you do it has you. If I could turn back time I would run a mile!

I realised today that I am an addict, I started taking ching around four years ago when I met my now ex girlfriend. I am a lot better now but at my worst I was taking 2-3 grams a night 3 nights a week some times more often. I got in to debt because of it not with any of my dealers (thankfully); They were my friends at the time, I know people say that you dealer isn't your friend but I knew these guys way before I started using we have always been close, I mean who goes for dinner with their dealer? Or hangs out with them and their family on family picnics. Anyway at my worst i had realised that I was doing too much but i never thought I had a problem, I mean everyone does it right? I had friends that would do a hell of a lot more than me and more frequently too. I moved away from the area after I broke up with the ex missus, I moved closer to work which meant that I wasn't around the sweet sweet powder any more, I would visit the old town once a month. Not having access to it didn't see to bother me, I enjoyed not doing it and I stayed clean for six months, naturally I thought that I wasn't ever addicted to be able to cut it out like I did... How wrong was I? Recently I found out that there is a huge Coke culture at work, Its not a massive firm maby 110 members of staff and I would say that 45-50 of them are coke heads I have even shared a line with my CEO! Well thats the point exactly, the moment ching became available to me again, I couldn't say no. The worrying thing is that this ching we get in London is more expensive and a much higher quality to what I was used to in kent but I'm still doing the same amount as I used to. 

 

Now I really want to kick this habit before it ruins my life, could anyone that is clean give me any advise?

 

Thanks

hi, i did quite a bit of coke on friday night. at some point at the after party everyone was snorting and offering me more. At around 8am I was saying to the people offering me that there is no point since it did nothing any longer. I came home at around 9am, had a joint and went to sleep. The next day after sleeping for 7-8h I was feeling alright, not great, but ok. Had a shower, ordered some pizza, had a J after it and started watching some documentaries. Half an hour later I felt really dizzy and got up. I went to my bedroom and tried to go to sleep but the panic attack (never happened before) disallowed me of any sense of tranquility. I started getting really paranoid thinking I might die. Terrible times. I literately tried everything I have in my arsenal but nothing helped. I was feeling super dizzy, shaking uncontrollably, pale and confused as to what is to happen to me. After half an hour I decided its time to go to ER. When I got there I explained the situation to the doctors and they linked me with a bank of250ml of NaCl (Sodium Cloride) which also contained calcium to stop my shivering. 10 minutes later I was already feeling much better. Two hours later when all the liquid had entered my system I was feeling much better.MY ADVICE IS :: WHOEVER USES COKE AND HAS HAD AN O.D. EXPERIENCE OR NEAR THAT YOU NEED A BANK OF 250ml NaCl by Braun INC. at home. Get someone to open up a vein and place the apparatus that helps the liquid enter your bloodstream. IF that's too much go to the hospital. This is no joke. Im done with drugs at the age of  26. :) i prefer life over drugs

BRAVO!!! The previous post was written very well and clearly. There is no way you can use cocaine safely. It is so adddictive. I lost my house and car in 3 months using crack cocaine. I watched my fiance overdose and it was utterly terrifying. I thought he was having a heart attack and I felt completely useless to help him as I had used too. Not too smart! However it is a disease. It took me years to believe that. Finally 3 doctors at a very expensive and wonderful treatment centre my family all chipped in to pay for showed me footage of the brain and convinced me that an addicts bran is different than an average persons'. Anyhow, the point is simply this, STOP using - there is lots of help out there for free. If you are using and thinking about it all the time you have a problem, there are plently of like minded people who are more than happy to help you, just ask. It is simple. If you can go to all the trouble of getting the money to buy the drugs etc...It becomes a full time job, being an addict. Use that same energy to get to an AA or CA meeting near you and there are lots of meetings near you - you just need to open your BELL phone book and there are numbers posted witahin the first few pages. GET HELP NOW. In the past year 6 friends have died, I do not wish to be next nor my fiance or anyone of you. You are not different - you too will die and sooner than later.

I've been using cocaine for 15 years. There's been nights where iv gone through5 - 6 grams. The worst problem I've had was a racing heart, chest pain, and uncontrollable shaking.

ok so im 22 115lbs and just recently started doing coke. Im an iv heroin user, but am now doing speedballs and coke by itself. Im usually very smart about the amounts i do and im sure im fine. Im just curious..I only did about a gram, gram and a half in about a 5 hour period. I did my last shot about an hour ago and felt fine. I was just debating doing the rest and i noticed my accelerated heart rate. I have nothing to be worried abut right? thats what coke does to you. I have no other symptoms, i feel just fine besides that fast eart rate and maybe a little clamy hands. Im not shaking, sweating, nauseous, nothing like that. oh and ive been slowlu drinking water for the past 15 minutes. and breathing slowly.

that is sooooooooo fake....

shuuuuuuut uuuuuuuuuuuup !!!! lol

Well said my friend.......Educate ...

 

he'll be dead by then.

I'm not exactly replying to this particular post per se, but from what I have been reading for the past hour or so it very much sounds like nervousness to me. Overdosing is A LOT more serious and I'm sure someone will absolutely know it when they see it. You won't, because you'll be unconscious. I don't condone getting high but I know what its like, I've been an addict for eleven years and I'm still trying to get my shot together. if you are too high and nervous/restless then do what I do; have a couple shots of straight alcohol, mix a stiff drink or pound a beer or two. That will feather out the high. Give the left over sh*t away, sell or junk it then get your ass to a meeting and work the program. Life is way better than wondering if you're going to die. Drugs are suicide, one day at a time. Have a happy 24 hours, I wish everybody the best.

I was shooting up to the point of getting so sketched so after months of binging i through 3 grams in water freaking after a shot uncontrolably drank it in about a shot of water I saw visuals and heard voices for the whole night the next day i couldnt believe what happened so i did  it agian ranting to my friends that i would never snort it only drink it because the effects are so dif evantually i drank about a calculation of 10 grams within 24 hrs finally after than last gram i drank I sezuired out out for hrs I couldnt here anything my friends said my hands where gripped so tight ten men couldnt open them evantually they get me to the clinic ( i was in costa rica so picture third world clinics) I was completley unconcsciene in a dreamlike state running through my actions early in the evening witch i was playing black jack at casiono all i could see was to white lights almost flurecent like the ones in hospital in my dream i was playing cards one light was heaven one was hell i was trying to recall my hands in previous night and as each ahnd was played the lights would grow darker on each side eventually it came to poin where hell was wiining and evantually one my heart must have stopped because i heard a voice say you better tell everyonethat you love now because your about to wake up in hell i was so scared than another voice said you better breath harder than any anbody in this room and i did i started puffin and puffin than booom it ws just like pulp fiction i popped up and saw my friends and doc they eventually drove form the clinic to anthoer third world hospital where i got pumped with water for six hrs parnoid waiting for them to release me and when they did i said are you goin to take this needle out and they said no you do it ! feel free to ask further quetions i would like ot learn more about what happened to my body !

I have been clean from coke for almost 18 months and I was about to relapse tonight. I started goggleing stuff to try to stop myself and I found these responses. You all may have saved my life. I'll sick to the booze and occasional weed for fun and know I won't wake up dead. Thanks

Your post made me stop. It's been 7 days. Thank you. Like you said,y family anf children deserve better and I was being a selfish jerk. Thank you

My boyfriend and I overdosed on cocaine last year BUT our "reactions" were different & I am wanting to know what exactly happened to us. We were shooting it, not snorting. We shot an 8ball together. So you're talkin $100 a piece in the span of a couple hours. Anyway, he did his last shot and fell to the floor convulsing, almost flopping like a fish and druel spewing out his mouth as he almost "panted" in his breathing, almost a "oof-oof" sound. Then he literally POPS back up fine, with no recolection of anything....... I'm guessing he had a seizure. NOW, MINE... very different. I "apparently" blacked out (he says) cause I dont remember. He said he gave me CPR & THEN, what I do remember is waking to see his face above me up. It took a while for ME to notice but he advised my eyes were goin back & forth & my muscles were constricted with my hands, as he put it, doing the "walk like an egyptian" movement, only fists were clamped. I remeber trying to speak to him and finally realizeing I couldnt get words out. When I slowly did it was through pants of breath... one word at a time like "Wha-Ha-pen-d-Ba-B". He said I was "out" for 3 minutes & when my eyes were open, that whole scenerio took a good 10-15 minutes before I could even prop my legs up. WHAT HAPPENED TO ME? Did I die, seizure, stroke, heart attack...??? What?
