Cocaine Fainting

[collegegirl2010]

So I had a pretty serious run in this weekend. After a night of doing a fair amount of coke (like 7/8 lines over 6 hours) and drinking a fair amount (probably 4/5 drinks over that same period) I was out and about feeling tired and little bit funny.  I stopped to get some food and I fainted. I've never fainted before and it was really really scary (enough to make me flush what I had left down the toilet). I was wondering if this has ever happened to anyone before and if it's something I need to go see a doctor about. I am sure that I was dehydrated (and I had smoked a cigarette or two when I woke up) and I hadn't eaten much. The EMTs came and I chalked it up to flu like symptoms I'd had the week before - they said all my vitals were fine and that it was a matter of resting and eating up (I didn't tell them about the coke).  Besides quitting (which believe me I am - that was damn scary) should I see a doctor? Do you think I've done any real damage. I've only been using coke for about two weeks (maybe every three days or so I'd be up all night doing lines and then sleep it off the next day). Is this worth a doctor's visit or will cold turkey keep me healthy?

The after effect of MDMA can last for a few days, trust me I know.  The coke probably didn't help either, not letting his body recover.

To collegegirl2010, just stay away from coke whatever you do!  That stuff is bad news.

Yeah same sort of situation here, my friend had a massive weekend last weekend, line after line of coke, weed and MDMA and it's been like 4 days and he's still getting constant light-headed giddiness, and strange tingly like moments in his legs as well.

Think its a bit strange, hopefully it's only temporary and not a permanent result of altered blood flow/signalling/over heating etc.but scary enough to never want to take it again to be honest, makes you think how it just destroys you.

Whenever we think we did damage or not feeling right, it's never a bad idea to see a dr, but since the EMT's said to rest up and all vitals were fine, it sounds like no damage was done and your gonna be fine, but see a dr if you are still worried and sick. The good news is you have been only using a couple weeks and can stop easier now then it will ever be. Cocaine kills and there is a very good chance the coke you did was cut with something that could have gave you a bad reaction to it also.

At one point I was doing 40-50 lines of blow a day and every now and then I would collapse and go into convulsions and it was scary as hell. Although overdoses are rare with this drug, it does not always take a large amount to overdose or go into cardiac arrest. Consider yourself lucky and hope you never pick up this drug again. I promise, you have no idea what is to come if you continue using. I hope your feeling
better now. Let us know how you are and stay safe:) Good luck.

Hey!
If you have only done coke a few times I doubt the coke did any real physical damage but it would be wise not to touch it ever again-----I had an experience with mushrooms twice and both times when I started getting off I went into seizures. Needless to say I never touched another one. I would suggest you consult a dr. and get a physical to rule out other health issues--------Coke will make you old quick.    Coke withdrawals are  usually the day or two after a binge --------That's how it was for me----I did for a year about 20yrs ago and you don't go wd like you do with opiates------For me it was more mental thing----Good luck and let us know how you are doing..
