Am I having a cocaine overdose?

I was in this forum a few months ago with questions about cocaine and alcohol.  Well I am back with another question concerning cocaine.  Memorial Day.... Did a few backs of cocaine with a friend and felt great! Went home around 2:30am and layed in bed and thats when it all began.  My eyes were rolling in the sockets... my heart began to race... I began to sweat... I couldnt breathe very well.  I was breathing but it felt like i could not get enough air! I took a hot bath and felt like i was going to faint... took a cold bath...i was freezing.  Anyways, I tryed so many things to feel better up until 6:30 am when i finally began to calm down.  It is now 12:17 and i slept about 4 hours.  My heart was racing so fast I was about to call an ambulance but my mom would kill me before the cocaine would!  I was having these weird convulsions.  My arms were shaking and my fingers haven been shaking for months. I really felt like i was dying.... I can't explain how horrible I felt.  My question: Was I having an overdose??? or was I just going through something that everybody goes through when they do too much cocaine?  Couls I have died??? my EXTREME question... I am a 20 female in Miami, Florida.... I dont have a drug habit but i do tend to use cocaine about once a month and i always over do it... I am leaving into the Navy in October so I hope that will help me alot... if I use cocaine again and i feel my heart racing and etc.etc.etc.... can you PLEASE reccomend something to help when im experiencing this?  Is there a special remedy?  ANYTHING... please name a few things. Thank you so much.

I am hoping people are still reading this...

i am not in a state of denial, nor addicted although what I have to say is rather contradicting.

I am not familiar with the limits of overdose, nor the substantial amount you can do before.... you get my drift.

I am here today to explain the situation and deeply asking help in support as that is what I need to remain the person I once was. I have been through this process before and it finally pushed me to get help from some good friends... we can go into all of this later as I would like to tell my story and get your deep answer instead of "sounds like your addicted." because that is not what im looking for. I am a good guy to get along with no matter while on it or off...i've never been abusive while on it or even in my system.... the answers im seeking for are the effects im having while being on it, "coming down", etc....

I was rather frightened as I blacked out w/out really realizing it multiple times and woke up I believe hours or minutes later in the same position, but remember waking up for a brief milisecond (as my multi blackout)... I blacked out while going to my second job, at the stop light I accellerated, and almost hit the curb... luckily for me I vowed to quit for 2 days to atleast come down....

to get back on point, my eyes are twiching and lighting in general will dim/brightem etc... makes me think a car is turning and comin down the street.. maybe the light is flickering im not sure? i dont have any heart pain, just lost a lot o weight in which I want to gain again...

im leaving it at this as im not sure whom will see and i will go into more detail and symptoms

Just tonight, i had the same reaction but i couldnt move, i freaked out and tried to walk somewhere, where i dont know but before i took 4 steps i collapsed. i then began convulsions, shaking uncontrolably and a heart rate that i could feel racing in my head, i started to black out and hit the ground hard. jared came out and started freaking out and i was for sure i would not get to see precious life again. i used all my strength to pull my self up and in the minst of it i threw up. when i threw up, it was all cocaine 100% from the eightball or 3.5 grams i had purchased earlier. soon after i threw up my heart rate lowered, i had to walk around and i rethought my life over and realized only someone who wants to leave this earth in a horrific way would do this, i forever more dispise cocaine and i am getting the most important tattoo in my life tommoroww to alway let me and my peers know of what happened. it says Live Strong, it means alot to me because those who can say no to cocaine are strong and i have a whole new world of respect for them. i am a 17 year old male and i WAS confused with what i wanted to do in life, now i know i just want to be happy. i love life, the sky, trees, poeple, anything, life is precious pleassse dont put yourself through what i put myself through. this drug is THE stupidest thing i could have ever got my self into, and yes when you are addicted to cocaine, you will do excesive amounts, the overdose will kick in when you finnally stop sniffing it. I am not telling anyone not to do it because actions speak louder than words and most of man kind learns from experience and not words, but if you have never tried cocaine take this into concideration. This is my second week doing it, and ive had enough fun.

-lovelife, live strong, be happy.
