COCAINE IS THE DEVIL.

anyone that sniffs cocaine ,stop now before it takes over your body and your mind,and leaves you with extreme anxiety, completly socially paranoid when sober,paranoid.and even sudden death because it can constrict arteries supplying blood to your heart when using

thers is hope,just think how dirty that stuff really is,just delete all of the dealers numbers ,anyone that has there numbers ,make it clear that you dont want them in your life anymore,especially when your are in the process of breaking free from this nasty powder.

when you have the urge to do coke,jump up and do something else,do something to take your mind away from coke,call a trusted friend who is anti drug,talk about the old times before you where on that sh*t,plan cinema dates and sports events ,try get in a envirement thats anti drug,i no thats hard,but keep the coke friends out of your life

im 22 yearold male ,started using cocaine when i was 15,but i was only using on friday and saterday night when having a few drinks with friends,when i drank alcohol after 4 or 5 beers i would get an intense urge to do coke,and many dealers are in my group of friends,so it was easy acsess just a call away,i thought that using only 2 nights of the week would be ok,I WAS WRONG,using cocaine even 1 day a week for a long period of time can still do damage

i would do up to 6 grams over friday night and saterday night,and i dont think there was a weekend where i didnt do it from the age 15 to 22

some weekends it may have been more coke than other weekends,i know 6 grams doesnt sound like much to some ,but those 7 years of doing the drug every weekend has now taken its toll on me,i wish i never done coke,or ever looked at the drug

at the start of this year january 2012 it all started getting bad, with feeling anxiety feelings in my chest everyday,i started noticing the drug wasnt at all fun to me anymore when i was taking it,but it did realease a bit of tension that i was feeling from the weeks work.but shortly after ,the buzz would get edgy and i would instantly get paranoid when out in the nightclubs ,and around friends in the pub,but even though i new that, i was still taking the drug when i drank alchohol,then when i was sober i was getting extreamlly paranoid,and when another person talked to me or tried to make eye to eye conversation,i would look at the ground and start sweating,and try to flee the situation as quick as i could,also walking through public places with crowds of people really started to freaked me out

this continued untill a month ago,when my nerves gave in i thought i was 100% honestly about to die,i was on my way down to the local shopping center in a friends car,i started to feel the anxiety kick in ,but this time it was more intense then usuall,then BANG IT HIT ME,a full blown anxiety attack,i screamed to my friend to get me home and drive as fast as possible,my house was only a 2 minute drive,the numbness kicked in ,it started in my toes then rushed up my body to my face,before i new it my whole body went numb,my hands locked up my jaw locked my toes curled and where getting tighter and tighter my stomach curled so tight, the back mustles in my legs locked and still hurt a month later,i couldnt speak because my jaw was locked solid,i started to loose my vision,my friend had rang an ambulance because neither of us had nown excactly what was happening,untill the medic said you have had an anxiety attack,it never hapened to me before,so i thought i was dying

the doc says it from using cocaine over a long period of time,its messed with my nerves and my personality

now i have givin the drug the boot and never want anything to do with the devil again

.but im left with severe anxiety and social paranoia ,depression which i developed while using coke,paranoia itself,and im trying to get better,i dont even like going outside anymore,and have lost my job because of my ways

so if you havent got a scare from your coke using,you should count yourself lucky and get away from the drug

i lost a lot of contact with family because of coke ,which i intend to rebuild those relationshps asap before its to late


i no its hard,the next few months are gonna be hard for me ,but i no myself i wont touch the dirt again

i just hope i can get back to the person i was ,before all these horrible feelings came along

Yes, every time you do cocaine it damages your brain little or big. Every body reacts differently. I know someone who died from a "bad batch" if such a thing is possiable. Every batch is a bad one. It's nothing you want to get yourself into, if your friends are doing it or your boyfriend is doing it and it's not something you want to be doin get those people out of your life.. But know you have to want to stop doing it or have the will power to say no. Once you do it once you've done it and you've liked it it's so hard to say no the second, third, fourth, fiftieth time! It's addicting let me tell you. I'm just trying to save a life here. I don't even know if this is making sense, but that's only proving my point..

I just went through all the post from 2008, sorry my english i live in montreal. Here's my story and i think i can give you some advice...

in june 2012, i drank beers with friends ( a lot ) and after a while we decided to do cocaine ( i never was an addict , maybe about 1 time per month during 2 years...i was on and off) and i was so high that time i decided to smoke a very big joint of marijuana all by myself like 1.0 grams... the hours that followed were the worst of my life i thought i was going to die, my brain was running wild, my heart was racing, iwas between conciousness and inconsciousness. Actually the next day was not so bad, just like a bad hangover.

1 month after the event, i did some cocaine again but that time felt very weird in my brain like nothing i experienced before, my mind felt blocked, everything was annoying, my perception was different and my brain felt kind of numb. This feeling went on and off for like 5 months but i was still drinking smokin cigarettes and did cocaine often... but on january, my condition crashed radically. i Began to have horrible brain pressure, and a tension in it that had me losing sleep its like an adrenaline rush mixed with an headache in your head its horrible. I exprienced heavy extrasystoles that i could not sleep at all during one week, also my heart felt heavy all day long with short breath. i also had extreme mood swings (from o.k. to very depress), nausea, confusion and on and on...

So i went seeking help from doctors, like 7 different one but i think they are the dumbest motherfuc on this earth, they said it was anxitety like it was normal. BUT I NEVER SUFFERED FROM ANXITETY. But one day, in the worst of my condition i found the best acuponcturist in town and thank god it helped me in a good way but acuponcture is not magic but it helps. Try also nervoheel its an homeopathic medecine, its soft but it also helped.

Today i still suffer from this condition but its 5000x times better than it was 8 months ago. Now i can go through my daily activities and something even many weeks i feel normal again but randomly its hits me hard again. I think i see a progression with myself but what i understand from this experience is that the coke have nothing to do with this its only the badtrip that cause an traumatism to the brain and he slowly cope with it with many setbacks. it has been 1 year and like 3 months for me now.

Good luck to all and never surrender to this sh*t, you are stronger than this.

Just to make an update i went to a EEG test and i finally got some answers, Theres a connection that my brain doesn't make anymore, its the right frontal lobe that isnt stimulated, so that means that autoregulation of my body and relaxation is way under a normal brain. I keep hope that my condition will improve because someday i feel back to normal and even stays for weeks but at least now, i know what i'm suffering of. And it all starts with mixing alcohol with cocaine and smoking marijuana in the same evening...

I did not seem to have any long term damage, however my doctor told me that it might show up later on in life. As for this moment, I seem to be ok. I was a hard core addict..up and down for 25 years so, I may just have been lucky. I do suffer anxiety though...it makes me forget words for things....I forgot how to move my legs to get up when I was on the floor playing with my dog...I just couldn't remember. I forgot where I was for about 2 minutes or so. When I am not stressed, or anxious I am just fine.

Yep that's exactly what happened to me, drank beer and did a couple lines of coke first time ever, than smoked a joint, one week later have this weird feeling and something's wrong with my eyesight, like I can't focus clearly, hopefully it goes away, what a life changer stopped smoking cigs and definetely never doing drugs ever.
