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.

I'm asssuming since the previous post regarding Ultram was like 7 years ago those issues have long since been dealt with. I was recommended this drug as an  atelrnate to Vicodin after a septoplasty while in inpatient recovery, because at that time it was thought to be non-narcotic and non-addictive. This was in '95. I wasn't necessarily trying to stay clean so much as I was trying to stay out of Federal Prison. After failing two drug tests for coke, with the third imminent, I checked myself in to rehab. Much to my pleasant surprise I found that i could get an almost Vicodin like buzz from the ultram, and a really nice one at that with a soma or 2. Neither of these drugs showed up in my drug tests, After several weeks they wouldn't give me a buzz anymore so I would go off them for several months. I never once experienced any withdrawal symptoms.

i am going to be honest, I have a friend, speaking through him via this forum, "cocaine makes you feels like the king of the world, you think and tell yourself over and over again that you are in control and soon enough you aren't it is truly the devils dandruff, all you need to do is change your mentality, everyone who is reading this, just take that ****** feeling you have lying awake at 5:00 in the morning and realize that is all cocaine will ever for for you
If I could change anything in my life I would go back to the first time my friend racked a line and knock it to the floor
I know you and my friend can stop I only hope you look at this post
just stop please, it is a terrifiying thing

This is a very old post (6.5 years). These people are not here anymore. I'm glad your brother is okay. Start a new post (at top of page where it says 'post a question') and get some support from the forum.

my brother overdosed 2 weeks ago and actually died, luckily he was  ressusated in the ambulance and thank god he is still with us, this has been the biggest shock to all of us ,as he had been clean for a year, this episode seems to have brought reality home to him and scared him so much it seems to be a turning point in his life. He actually felt him self dying but something inside him screamed no, a brush so close with death should be a warning to all,
