Nitrous Oxide Use (Whippets)

[Bham008]

Hello, all.

I just wanted to share my experience & hopefully recieve some feedback. This may be a bit lengthy, but I would sincerely appreciate any advice; I have been worrying myself sick... (My friend & I did about 25 whippets each, breathing in & out through a balloon.) I am in constant fear that I have caused irreversible brain damage, due to hypoxia, or caused a b12 deficiency. Please not to judge too harshly, because I’m already going through pure hell as it is.

Shortly after arriving home, I decided to grab a bite to eat. Everything was completely normal at this point, up until I went to visit a friend of mine. I had a horrible feeling come over me, that I just couldn’t shake. I freaked, & got out of there fast. After I arrived home once again, I had vivid dreams that caused me to panic again. I went to the ER, thinking there had to be something wrong. The Doc had indicated that I was just experiencing a panic attack. I have never had any panic attacks in the past, so I convinced myself it had to be something else. (My symptoms: Pins & needles in feet and hands, muscle spasms/cramps in legs. Skin feeling like it’s burning, fear/panic that something is wrong with my brain, burning tongue, hearing music in my head, fear)

I finally made an appointment with a neurologist, & he did a MRI (which came back clear) He said I was fine. I also had a full blood panel done, which came back clear. Could the damage be less extensive, to the point where is doesn’t show up on a MRI? I just can’t shake this awful feeling. I feel this occurrence, or the drug itself, has caused me to have brain damage/personality disorder. Before this happened to me, I was a very happy bubbly person. Now, I’m in constant fear. (Never experienced panic/anxiety in my life) I made a huge mistake & I am terrified that I will not fully recover. It’s been a year and a half since this happened. I have been taking methylated b12, just to play it safe, but I am at a loss as to what happened to me.

I've actually done 10 peoples share of whippets. I never noticed any side affects. I too suffer from anxiety. This can be brought on at any age, any time. My thought is that it was coincidental, and youve been worrying yourself sick hence, creating more anxiety. Try to relax. Soak in the tub. Excercise. Its hard but once you start calming yourself i think your fears will subside. Ive had anxiety attackes which were so severe i was hospitalized. I thought i was having a heart attack each time. Crushing chest, excruciating pain in my cbest and back whkch radiated to my left arm and into my jaw. Yep, and those prickly sensations too. All that is very unnerving and once it sets in it only creates more anxiety. I take ODT Xanax whenever i feel an attack coming on. You might ask your doctor to prescribe it for you. The ODT's act quickly and ease my mind within 20 minutes. Im no doctor and dont know about yhe brain cells which whippets affect, but they're fun as hell. If i could still get them here I'd still be doing them. Hopefully someone with more expertise will chime in and help ease your concerns. BTW, did you tell the doctors and specialists about the whippet binge? Good luck. Feeling for you!
