How many here have been hospitalised as a result of drugs?

I've been rushed to hospital in an m-hole, but that's hardly because I needed medical attention. I just got found by the wrong people.
 
Never actually had to go to hospital, only time I thought I may have to go was when the piperazine pills first started floating about. Took a couple of bombs (same presser as rockets I think) then got talking to some absolutely munted bloke who had a sandwich bag sized baggy of MDMA and let me have a sizeable dab. Ended up pretty rough later on, intense dysphoria, puking pretty hard. My eyes were totally bloodshot for a few days after from puking/retching. Looked like some kind of shit student bond villain.
 
Ok well it was the once a couple of years ago. I was in a relationship where she was (luckily) extremely straight-laced and I just wanted to react against that, like an idiot. Anyway, I'd taken MXE a couple of times before and she was ok with it, but not very happy. She'd asked me not to do it again.

A few months later I got some, more than i needed, as it happens, and I decided to take it when she was out for the day. So I took some and she returned, pretty pissed off with the state I was in

Anyway, I knew I'd tested my luck with this whole thing, so (whilst I was fucked) I thought "In for a penny, in for a pound" and necked the rest of the bag in a glass of water.

The next I remember is waking up in hospital, 1 day later, having been given beyond the level of diazepam recommended to halt the seizures. I had to stay an extra day for monitoring. I made a half arsed attempt to escape, but no joy, so I was stuck with the farting twats for another night.

That's me - I'm not proud.

Never ended up in hospital as a result of drugs, came close once when i took too much 4FA whilst on an SSRI, felt like my head was going to explode. I did end up in hospital as a result of alchohol, due to being young and naive and very pissed and accepting a lift from a pissed up lunatic driver. Inevitably we ended up crashed in a ditch, and i ended up with loads of glass shrapnell embedded in my back.
 
Thankfully not, but came close from an MXE fuckup. wish i had gone to hossy or somebody had rammed a shit load of diaz down my face
 
This is a great harm reduction thread to read, as it's likely most users here are beyond light drug users or inexperienced. Gives a good insight, I've been in due to drug-induced seizures after taking heavy amounts of Xanax (5mg+) without really realizing and then went through a very big amount of pills at a party and around that period and few days later took some more serotonin affected drugs and had a seizure. Was treated like an idiot, discharged next day, go home had another, back in...no after effects.

Lesson learnt: Don't be reckless and binge'y with MDMA and other drugs as it will get ya. To be fair I'm probably a somewhat heavy drug user to some people so in a sense I feel lucky it was this and not something serious that was needed to get through to me.

I've noticed that main causes (based on this and talking) is generally dissociative 'hole' dosing and being discovered, overdose and respiratory failure or the result of pushing body over a number of days in heated places and too many uppers.
 
Hmm, right...

I won't go into the details but mostly anxiety related... I didn't really know I had anxiety/health anxiety until recently. I've been in 4 times but the only visits that had some merit to them:

1) I took way too much MDAI & had some mild Serotonin Syndrome style symptoms... I was confused & could barely speak by the time I got the hospital but they just monitored me & made me drink some water. I went home 5-6 hours later & I was fine apart from my heart rate was much higher than normal for another 24 hours or so.

2) I got overstimulated from some, I assume, cut Meph & had a panic attack & tachycardia I think... they didn't tell me what actually happened apart from my heart rate being high. It felt really awful. They hooked me up to an IV, gave me some pills & I woke up 3 hours later feeling fine.


Plenty of lessons to be learnt there. I doubt I'll ever be in the hospital again now that I know I have health anxiety (plus I'm not planning to use much other than hallucinogenics anymore) ... amazing how many symptoms anxiety can cause that mimic serious problems.

Ive had that happen before, was odd, scary. not actually sure if it was a panic attack or what happened, think it may have been a panic attack though

Also hoofed a line of "meph" or whatever the fuck it was that made my hands go bright red... full on red, felt dizzy, my blood pressure must of been through the roof. id been getting vasoconstrion bad from meph before but that was something else, never seen them go that red before. was at a rave, was brinking of calling an ambulance for myself but took a vallie and rammed as much booze down my face as i could and it eased it off a bit
 
Actually only once that I recall. Surely should've been a couple other times but was in no fit state to get myself to one and was nobody else about so only the once where I was capable of actually seeking treatment. That would be the large IM dose of ketamine which ended up in an arse artery instead of the arse muscle due to having drunk a bottle of gin previously and being more than a little sloppy about procedure. Was actually very unpleasant indeed - interarterial ketamine is known to cause blindness and heart failure so less than ideal as accidents go. Was able to walk/stumble round the corner to the local (sort of) hospital but they weren't equipped to deal with such an incident (they actually didn't know what ketamine was let alone what to do about it) and one of the more unfortunate symptoms from IA ketamine is apparently inability to speak. The night watchman fella just thought I was pissed and taking the piss but eventually managed to convince him that it was actually (potentially) quite a serious - actually potentially lethal - thing and I really should be getting a ride up to the main hospital. Of course by the time I got there and was finally assessed I was coming out of it with no lasting damage (thankfully). Nurses thought it was hilarious but I always did get along with nurses - they have a wicked sense of humour generally. Worst bit (other than the suspicion of imminent death and/or blindness) was having to jump the train home in the pissing rain wearing only t-shirt, joggy bottoms and slippers as I'd not thought to get dressed or take any money when I toddled off to seek help.

Other than that just a couple abscesses needing lancing from missed heroin shots and a number of incidents which really did require hospital treatment but it just wasn't very feasible at the time. I suppose the moral of the story would be don't inject barrel-loads of dissociatives (or anything else really) into bits of your body you can't actually see when too drunk to pay any real attention to what you're doing. Managing to hit an artery in yer arse is surprisingly tricky usually but you can probably virtually guarantee you will do the one time you don't bother to check before pressing on the plunger 8)

I used to get red hands on occasion & the dreaded blue knees the day after sometimes from Meph when it was legal... never had that problem when I started getting street Meph (even when it was legal, I was too lazy to wait for postman, dealer lived 2 minutes from me ;))

My lips went a bit blue once too, that was very almost a hospital visit but I just put on some warm clothes, gloves etc & I was fine... might be a combination of blood pressure, vasoconstriction & the fact my flat was probably cold overnight whilst binging.
 
How sore does one's arse get when it's artery has been punctured? Did you have a red fountain going on?

These are important questions.
 
Not me, I'm good at taking drugs.

This. Plus I don't use needles so no abscess shit thank god. I shudder every time I read abscess stories.

A couple of mates briefly set the record for MXE when it had just come out and they took half a g each (because my mate is STUPID with numbers). To her eternal credit his gf, who is pretty straight, came back and found them in a right state and spent hours sitting them, which included fighting one of them off and dealing with an awful lot of broken glass. She never panicked and called an ambulance - and the experience proved there was no need. Who wants to end up with tubes down their throat when there is no need?

Go Rachel, she was brilliant.

No arse-soreness, minor blood squirt but my arse is fairly flabby which may have affected the spurting potential. I've hit an artery in my thigh before and that was an arc of impressive length - really quite the spurt. What I did get was a feeling as if I'd injected ice water - was very odd and very distinctive. Not at all like IV or IM ketamine. Then heart started pounding but in an odd way that just didn't feel right - palpitations stylee. Unnerving and just not what you "should" be feeling. Then started to get quite severe tunnel vision which was when I really got nervous, checked online to see if there were any particular reasons why interarterial ketamine should be especially dangerous and turns out there are and as both heart and vision stuff appeared to be getting worse I decided it probably was worth walking into hospital (it's all of five mins walk from me even when wasted) and having to explain what I'd done. And I did have to explain. Many, many times. With no voice. If you can find a hospital with actual medical staff - and ideally ones who have had actual training in doing stuff other than asking why you did whatever you did and what do you think they should do about it - that would be my recommendation.
 
Not me. Once came close to dialling 999 during major paranoia/tripping at the end of a 6-apb session.

My friend got hospitalised after OD'ing on DXM.

Been major panicky/anxious on meph before, to the extent that I thought I might die, but have always managed to control it *just* by laying off, taking booze/vallies and waiting it out while trying to remind myself it's most likely stim paranoia. Actually, that's what happens all the time after a certain amount of meph now. :o :X
 
Snapped my banjo string having mad rampant sex with my ex , after eating 8 pills. It had happened before and stopped bleeding on its own.
But this was a major snap and the fucker bleed and bleed, I was pulling big stringy congealed lumps at blood off the end of my cock for a few hours till she finally said, " enough hospital ' they wouldn't/couldn't stitch me up for 8 hours wanted all the booze and drugs out of me,
I looked like a butcher when I turned up there and the receptionist stated pissing herself when I said I'd split my penis.
