seizures from drug use

[dunzo]

someone that has been injecting cocaine for about two months on a daily basis and recently is having seizures most likely from using the cocaine but cannot stop using it..what else can be done to help eliminate or at least try to relieve some of the symptoms?obviously,to stop using would stop this from happening but is there anything else that can be done?

Is this you we are talking about or a friend of yours?? Tell us whats going on..we are here for you. I have to get off for a while so I will check in later. But I beg you, go back to the ER. This should not be taken lightly. Inpatient detox/ treatment is necessary here. There will be some other members that will be here thru the night,,OK. Just keep talking to us. ~Bkitty

No not anything over the counter. If the seizures are still happening from after the ER visit GO BACK!! Prolonged seizing can cause brain damage from lack of oxygen, heart failure, etc. A lot of times they use valium and lorazepam to control seizures. But you would also need an anti seizure medication possibly like tegretol or dilantin and that should be given in an ER!! Obviously stopping the coke will help as you know. But something else is going on besides withdrawal from the coke-IMO. Please who cares if you were there earlier-demand some kind of treatment! Keep us updated. Im worried for you. ((hugs))~ Bkitty
