Am I having a cocaine overdose?

[CKivlan]

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.

Way old post. Yes, you had too much in your system at that point. After minor shakes and things, you may well fall to floor with more serious convulsions. imagine yourself lying on a merry-go-round while the room spins..... then think about your brain undergoing a temperal lobe siezure that you may or may not survive with you memory and speech intact. Then imagine gasping for breath to try and suck oxygen in. Now the last part. You begin to pant drastically and in uselessly to avoid respiratory arrest. When you lungs lock up all the way, not being controlled by muscles any longer. You will heve only seconds before death.....................................................

Your symptoms are very common. You elevate these symptoms when you become nervous and scared of your condition. I can take in about an ounce 1/4 before I start having these feelings (I think you could say it's time for me to quit!) But really, be smart, once you have your desired effect, put it away. You will realize, there's never enough coke-quit chasing the high, you'll never catch up to it. I should take my own advice soon.

i am here and praying for you, it is still early and you will get more responses shortly, just hang in there. i know the feeling of coming down and having to go to work, school and making excuses to go home early,you know the drill. there are alot of people on here who have successfully kicked coke, and they will be so helpful to you. my DOC is vicodin, and i am still struggling, but i did use coke quite a bit from the age of 13 on, i know what you are saying. when vicodin came into my life i just preferred that high and would only use coke if nothing else was around, but believe me, i know how hard it can be to get off of it. try to remember these bad feelings next time you want to use. my hubby gave it up, CT, he was smoking it for like 5 days at a time. one day he woke up and decided he didnt want to die. it will kill you, and i know you realize that and that is why you are reaching out. Good for you for taking the first step, that had to be huge to come clean to us. on this forum you will find strength and a ton of support, so please stick around and keep posting. you will get responses soon, hopefully before you have to go to class. you might want to start a new post, to ensure people read your story. , any questions i am here and will be here for the rest of the am.....k...stay strong, you will make it!!! God Bless you

this is my first post.  I'm a 27 year old black man.  Believe me when I say cocaine scares the hell outta me.  My dad died of an overdose when I was 8.  He was nurse practitioner.  He was 38.  Here I am about 1 week from having my first child, 1 month from taking a state exam for my nursing license and I'm high on coke.  I hate it cuz I like it so much.  About a month ago I had a bad experience with the drug.  You guys know when u do entirely too much what its like.  I swore I would not touch it again.  All was well until my best friend came back in town.  He begged me to call my supplier who is a family member of mine.  I did.  I purchased his coke and before I knew it I was in the bathroom snorting a small line.  I dropped the rest off to my friend and called my supplier for another bag.  I'm almost done with it...I didn't over do it this time, but I just don't want it.  I don't want to pass these demons on to my unborn child.  I don't want to die young like my father did.  I graduated from nursing school so I know what its doing to my heart and brain.  I've worked in a psych facility since 2003 and witness drugs destroy people and increase mental illness.  Why do I keep backsliding?  No one knows.  Not even my supplier.  Just my best friend who I score for.  I told him its time for us to quit,  but I have to do it first.  I'm the leader he is more of the follower.  I'm risking my life and my sanity with this drug.  Its 3:00 am and I have to be in class at 8:00.  I'm wired up and don't have a clue how I'm going to make thru 8 hours of class.  Ill b crashing when its time to go to school.  That sucks.  Just in the last 3 months I've quit cigarettes, weed, and drinking.  All that in anticipation of my daughters birth.  Unfortunately I came running back to the coke after 1 month of being clean.  How do I stop this devil from taking me down?  I guess I just wanted to vent with people who know the pleasure and pain that comes with high quality blow.  Pray for me and I would appreciate any feedback and encouragement.  I feel like my dad passed me his lust for drinking and drugs.  It killed him in his prime and I don't want the same thing.
