Cocaine overdose

[Bec2610]

Hi, 2 days ago I tried cocaine for the first time, as I was at at party and everyone was doing it, I did about 4 lines in 10 hours, for the past 2 days I've being having chest pain and my heart is skipping like mad, I want to go to the hospital but I don't want to be judged for what I've done, il never ever do it again, I'm so scared that I've damaged my body, Ive totally lost my appetite, whether that's due to me panicking I don't know but I've drank so much water I just wish I never touched the stuff :( I've read up on here how much damage coke can do I never realised this as everyone told me it was pretty safe.

I am glad to hear you are feeling somewhat better.  Let us know what the doctor said.

So proud of you for your decision.

That is so good to hear. There is no such thing as a safe drug. The best thing about drugs is you always have the choice to say no. I know you will. However should you ever get in trouble again, go to the ER and tell the truth. Nothing you can ever do or say will shock those people. And they can't tell on you unless there is a crime involved. All the best to you.

HeY Bec-

Glad you're feeling better and won't be doing it again.  I had the EXACT same reaction to cocaine when I tried it in my 20's.  It was a total nightmare and i don't understand how anyone could LIKE that feeling.  You have to be so careful because all street drugs are cut with stuff these days.  I'm so sensitive to stimulants that even too much coffee makes me feel like I've done cocaine.  Glad this was a good wake up call for you.  I have lost many friends to cocaine addiction and it is UGLY.
Take good care...

Thank you all so much, I didn't go to hospital it's now been 4 days since I used cocain. I still feel a bit edgy but that could be down to anxiety as I suffer anxiety anyways, I have a docs appointment in the morning so I can put my mind at rest! Thank you for all the help I will definitely not be doing it again, it was my first time and my last.

Sorry to hear this..Well just like most of the street drugs now you just do not know how they are making it or cutting it or what is in it..Just like my old crank days in the 70-80s..Now it is called Meth and it is made with some Bad things..Well I guess I should say worse.The only time my heart pumped fast when i did coke was if I did way to much and the same with the crank.Or it was bad stuff.I was way younger and this rarely happens. SO just try to take some teas and vit/min that can help relax the muscles. You want to relax your heart so try taking some Magnesium, Calcium and even Potassium..Find some natural things that will help relax you. I think you will be fine..It usually will pass..BUT if not go to the ER because it could of been laced with something BAD and very dangerous..Drug dealers are out for the buck so they will cut it to make more just about with anything these days..PLEASE try to stay away from all drugs and booze because it does not take to long to become a full blown addict and then you can lose you Brain, Body and Soul and even your Life..If you have some issues and like to use for more of a mental reason or emotional then seek some serious help now before it is to late..I will send a Pray out..Give your Life to your God and be humble and live a nice healthy life..Please do not waste it.
Bless

PS..I must be having one of those days becasue I turned the comouter back on and this was just sitting here waiting to be sent out.

Hope you are feeling OK by now..All Substances hit the Brain and do some serious unbalancing.This is why addiction is a Brain disease..However over time you can also damage other organs and such..Be Safe I think I wrote this at about 7-8am this morning and then took off without sending..LMAO!!!!

Hun?  Take it from an old hippie chick who loved cocaine back in the day...don't touch it again!  

I had similar symptoms at one point, I was about 24 or 25 years old and found out that I had a mitral valve problem which is very common in younger and thin women.  

From what you have described you will put yourself in serious danger if you don't do what I did and just quit while you are ahead and before you end up in the hospital.  IF you continue to have these symptoms I urge you to go to the ER just to be safe.  I didn't tell the doctor at the ER when I went that I had been doing cocaine...I probably shouldn't have BUT I was, like everyone else in Seattle, a huge coffee drinker...like 3 or 4 pots per day so I told him that.  These days though...don't worry about it, be honest with the doctor you see....you will probably get a lecture but the more info they have the better off you will be.

Take care of yourself!!

[dominosarah]

I agree totally with ABN.  If you feel something is wrong go in and see your doctor.  Tell him/her what you did.  Better to be safe than sorry.

There is NOTHING safe in the drug world.  I too hope you are scared straight now.  We deal with death and destruction here from drugs.  Let us know how you are doing~

[Bec2610]

Thank you! I feel okay now just a bit anxious, I will definitely not being doing it again, I never knew how dangerous it could be.

Cocaine is a stimulant so it will do that to you. If you feel like you need to go to the hospital then go....who cares what people think about you? I wouldn't be concerned with what strangers at a hospital think...Id be more concerned about what my family will be thinking and going through as they lower my casket in the ground.

Usually an OD from cocaine is right away....like call 911 now right away. It just sounds like your experiencing what most people experience when they mess with stimulants. I'm no doctor though so if you feel like you need to go to the hospital then go.

Hopefully this scares you enough and you hang around here and stay clean. Get to some meetings, church....something. Hope you stick around, God bless.
