Somewhere you aren't.
Me and my fiancee of three years have been an on/off opiate user for about a year. 2 nights ago we scored a 10 ball (0.2), cooked it up,and shared it between two syringes, and she asked to go first. I helped her find a vein, went in perfect. about 10 seconds later, she just fell flat on her side. I picked her up, she was like a rag doll.
I placed her on my bed and screamed at her, nothing. Slapped and pinched her ear, no response. I opened her eyes, completely vacant and pinpoint. At this point I was genuinely thinking I was going to lose the love of my life, and told my mum we needed help. She came in the room, and at this point she was occasionaly making a gurgling type of breath, and her lips were as blue as.

I breathed for her for around 5 minutes, till she was breathing again, and then placed in the recovery position and me and my mum monitored her, constantly trying to awaken her.

Around 30 minutes later, a few words came from her mouth, and within around a minute, she was awake, and fine. She said she thought she fell asleep, and has no recollection of the slaps, screams or chaos going on around her.

This has made us both decide to never, EVER I.V drugs again, And the scary thing is we usually buy a 10 ball each, not just share one. I genuinely believe if we did that, she would not be here today.

This is in the london/Essex area, so a warning there is either VERY potent gear going around, or something more sinister in it.

I wish everyone well.
 
Bloody hell, I'm sorry to here that and my best wishes to you both. I have been using opiates/opioids for about 5 years but I went from Codeine to DHC to Tramadol and Kratom, never having a problem with my usage. But around July this year I found a guy to hook me up with Morphine and Methadone, which quickly turned into Heroin too.

Luckily I have had a taste of addiction and I'm almost through the physical side (I hope!) but only a few weeks back I was considering IV use as I have only used H on the foil and wanted to see what it was all about, so to speak.

So thank you, this has truely helped me make my mind up that I never want to use a needle.

Peace.

I am glad this has helped one person stay away from the needle, be careful my friend even with the smoking, its an easy step to make.
I also started on Dihydrocodeine, then moved up through the so called 'ranks'. Wishing you all the best, and be safe!
 
I'm glad your girlfriend is ok, that's a scary situation. If you do end up still using heroin tho, you should see if you can get a vial of naloxone from a needle exchange, or even just a tab of suboxone. Sometimes they will give you nalaxone at exchanges and teach you how to use it so you can "bring back" someone from a heroin overdose because it is an opiate antagonist.
Of course you're better off just staying away from h in the first place, and i wish both of you luck with that.

I have heard of some exchanges offering naloxone, but in my area ( south of england ) I have not heard of it being offered out. I even thought about this myself, as it is a genuine life saver. I may speak to my clinic and see if it is possible to obtain, even if not for me, if a friend goes over it will be a god send. Is naloxone given out to most I.V users in the states?
EDIT: I also warned as many users in my area as I could, as my clinic has told me there is a batch going around cut with fentanyl, I am wondering if this may be what caused the O.D.
 
I don't know if it:s given to most users, but i am from philadelphia and i was able to get a vial from my exchange a couple years back. It's come in handy- i've brought friends back and it was once used on me too and saved my life. Definitely ask your clinic/exchange about it if you think you or your girlfriend may end upusing again.
 
Ok, I will have to try get hold of some. I am 99 percent sure she will never I.V again though, but it will be handy for friends who go over, or even me if I decide to be naughty. Has anyone else heard of heroin cut with fentanyl causing deaths?
 
Im glad your girl is ok but you should have called an ambulance. Its very risky just trying to breath for someone who is overdosing. You cant really tell how much oxygen they are actually getting.
 
Quick question. When your brought back from naloxone, are you in agony? Is it that same feeling from banging suboxone to soon? First time with buprenorphine years and years ago before all this wealth of knowledge was present, I banged around 6 mg of sub probably thirty minutes after a week long binge of good heroin. Holy shit was it awful, I had nothing to counteract the super ill feeling and besides that I wasn't entirely sure of what was happening. Crushing depression, awful cold sweats, stomach cramps, puking... It lasted a solid 2 hours then it faded and I felt rather good after that... Not sure if it was the bupe and my body coming to a plateau.

I'd rather endure that than die of course, but for my information, and ability to communicate to the other person who might be freaking out. So are they going to go into PW hell? I assume so. How long does it last... Prob for a few weeks if no maintained ther is sought or until nalxone wore off and another opioid induced.
 
Crazy how that works... I myself have been right on the edge.. Scored some fire in North Carolina, which tends to have medium grade dope... But this instance was different, I was unprepared. I prepared a "normal" shot and once I pulled off my belt I got the most intense blissful rush of my entire life... I started getting tunnel vision, sweating, stood up and tried to stay conscious as I held on to my bathroom sink with my legs shaking telling my self "oh shit oh shit oh shit!!" Needless to say has I put another couple granules I might not have been here sharing this story with you today... Crazy thing heroin is...

I can't speak from experience, but as far as I'm aware yeah it is a pretty nasty experience. I recently had a nasty, and accidental, high dose of Fentanyl and ended up in hospital and they kept me on 24/7 obs and let me ride it out instead of using Naloxone because it's not nice to endure.
 
You really should have called an ambulance when you realized how severe it was. There is no reason why any person should fatally overdose from heroin (or any other opiate or opioids for that matter) when a simple shot of naloxone can bring them back in a minute. This also makes it so frustrating that people can't easily obtain the drug in some areas.

I am going to move this to your regional forum so that more people in your area can be warned of the potent batch going around, as well as offer some advice in terms of overdose treatment and/or prevention resources available to someone in your area.

First of all- yes, when heroin is cut with fentanyl it makes the high much more intense.more quickly and overdoses are common. It was a big problem here in philly a few years back. I remember getting bags that seemed three times as strong, caused me to pass out only to wake up an hour later with the high gone. Second, when someone is brought back with naloxone/suboxone, yes it can be unpleasant and i've seen people get pissed off that you gave them a shot of it and "wasted" the dope they were on, not realizing they almost fucking died.... But it's not really that bad, any ill effects will wear off within a couple hours. So it's worth the temporary discomfort to not die.
Anyway, good luck to you and your girl stayin away from the needle. It takes you some pretty crazy places, doesn't it?
 
Glad your misses for through it.

I hope you are on of those folks who havevq scare like this and never touch a needle again, keep strong at remember that day and the terror you felt, and what could have possible happened to your misses.

Just doing a bit of HR by saying in these situations medical help is needed asap. This really should be a call for an ambulance if your in the UK.

Don't try and do your own thing, its a medical emergency. Its natural to be worried how the ambulance crew will be like, but it is far more important to get your misses treated properly.

Not having ago I just think its good HR.

Again glad to here she came through.
 
Ok , this is going to sound terrible, but my mum would not allow me to call an ambulance as she was worried it would be known as a 'drug house', I explained to her the police will not even get involved in our area but she was having none of it. I dread to think what would of happened if the worst actually had happened.

Shouldn't have mattered.

Next time call an ambulance.
 
There won't be a next time, our affair with this drug is over. And I know I should of, but literally the only way I could of was to knock my mother out, and I didn't really fancy having to attack my own mum, and two casualties , although one obviously less severe.
