On the edge of an overdose

I had this happened to me several times when I started IVing. I'd advice to learn your limit then try doing below your limit a little, its better to be safe then sorry.

Okay, well you typed it that way.

Hey what's up dude let me tell u about the other day man but I almost overdosed on hydrocodone HAHAHAHA

See? Anyway it's not a big deal, not even a deal, u just sounded like those people you described about calling hydro a "pussy drug" when it definitely isn't. I remember when i first started using Vicodin and the Hydrocodone red syrup when I didn't have a high tolerance.. wheeewwww! =D

The thing is, I'm not the type of guy to have a high tolerance for anything. Must be my liver eh?

I was actually going to say that. With the milligrams of hydrocodone that you were taking, the acetominphen could have been the problem, and not necessarily the hydrocodone. Do you recall if they had 325, 500, or 750 APAP per pill?

Just wondering, has anyone ever walked that fine line between really high and ODing?

The last 3 nights in a row, and several scattered times over the past 2 weeks, I think I have been there. I keep passing out because I am so high, then my body is jerking me awake I think because I am not breathing. My heart is pounding when I wake up and I feel the need to breathe a LOT.

The only thing that is confusing me is the increased heart rate, because it is POUNDING when I wake back up, but it is also beating really fast the whole time I am in that really, really f-ed up state. I wonder if I am OD-ing on heroin or possibly on a cut. The weird thing is, it has been many different stamps from several different people. I am wondering if there is just something going on with me because I haven't been doing a crazy amount or anything.

Just wondering if anyone has felt anything similar? I have really held back on my usage tonight because last night was the scariest, I was almost completely paralyzed for a while....it was bad. I was really relieved to wake up okay this morning.

By the way, this is from sniffing -- not even IV.

The rapid heartbeat is one way your body responds to hypoxia (oxygen deprivation). Be careful, especially since I'm getting the impression from your post that you're doing all this heroin by yourself. I would recommend not using alone, or if you have to, just cut back on your dose and don't overdo it.
 
It kind of sickens me nowadays when I look back when I was young and used to pop those Vicodin 5-500s and I would usually pop at least 40mgs worth of Hydrocodone which means I'm popping 8, EIGHT fucking 500mg extra stength Tylenol pills, YUCK and GROSS. I thank God that i survived(these were repeated doses)[/QUOTE]

yeah in response to your luck (lets call it what it is) I happen to be surprised I still can say I have a liver. I went to rehab a few years back and the Dr. told me that I had better thank my lucky stars;) I had news for him... I was counting them long before the rehab stay before he said that whhheee I am alive. yes.%)
 
I've come close to death a few times, the worst i ever had it was when I did about 7mg of xanax snorted, along with 5 bags of dope and a bottle of robitussin. I don't know what I was thinking, or how I made it through that night alive. I don't even remember it. All I know is that when I woke up in the morning I had puke in my mouth. After I woke up I snorted some adderal I had. About 20 minutes later I lost all controll of my body and had a seizure. Fell on the floor and hit my head, and layed there jerking for about 5 minutes, conscious but I couldn't do anything voluntarily. my buddy(drug dealer) said he was ready to bury me if I died.

Dammit man, we love to fight ourselves don't we? I look back at all my close calls and I just about shit myself thinking about all the trama I put upon my mind and body thru, oh yeah !! and uhmm...I could charm the fuckin green right out of everyones wallet that believed my bullshit fables. I could write two books. One would be titled "How To Rob The ones That Care For You The Most." And the other one would be called " Heroin Robbed My Soul When I Was Lookin Down".....=D=D I surprise myself on a regular basis. I see things now that I never knew were right there the whole time...addiction had me by the throat...I have my guard up at all times I am doin well at this moment but we all have the same thing in common we all have a pity pot and they are easy to fall into if ya ain't on your tip toes....and I hope I manage to always be one step ahead of that reflection of mine ...PEACE
