Concerned about cocaine overdose and other health problems due to frequent use

[needhelpmightkilme]

Ok so iv been shooting up coke for a couple months now off and on mostly but last couple weeks almost every day
Im addicted to heroin btw
I got a half g(BOMB)

lately its been feeling like im not getting high, idk im just not getting the same ruch i use to get just sorta so iv been doing more in my shots, i was jus doing a P everytime but latley been tapering up knowing its dangerous so super cautious
anyway tonight and why i joined this site to find out cause i scared the shit out of myself
I was doing my last shot for the night so i put 2 ps in the spoon which iv done about that but i think i usually miss a little bit
O yah i always try waiting between shots because if your already high i know you dont get the rush this time im (I just picked up some Kpins) thinking maybe im not getting the rush cause my heart rate is already elevated and that maybe a little kpin will slow it down so when i do the coke i get the rush so i only put the bigger of a half of a half of a 1mg Kpin under my tounge and waited 5 min or so to do my shot
when i did it it felt like all I could feel was my heart and my head, nothing else! it was crazy and my right side felt different, its left for heart attack(i was thinking) I emediatly could tell i did to much so popped a asprin that i had on my table because a couple days ago i thought i might have a bloodclot
i then also went and ate a clove of garlic and chewed on a cinnamon stick hearing these are good things for your heart

what i would like to know is how do i know if im having a heart attack or stroke/overdose from coke?
But not as much as i would like to know how do i tell if i had one of the above right after it happens?
also is there a reason i feel like coke isnt giving me the rush it use to can i do something to make it so it does?
are benzos ok to do before coke? how about after?
and also what can i do if i think one of those things is happening to me?
or right after i think one happened to prevent losing my brain cells?
notice i said can not should i know i should call 911 or some shit like that If i was gonna do that i already would

my life isnt going my way but i found out tonight its scary to think your gonna die although iv kind of wanted it to happen to me lately
and yes i wish i could go to treatment i just dont have the money for it
only thing my bullshit insurance will pay for is detox and i need at least a 30 day treatment im not a lucky rich kid with the money iv supported myself sense 7th grade and my mom owes me money I get like 50$ for my bdays I dont complain tho i still got her a 400$ ring for hers(no job u can guess) my dad died when i was 16 im 20 now

anyway feel like im rambling would be cool if u could answer some of my question and i do need someone to talk to although im new to this internet thing

I am pretty sure that cocaine overdoses typically result in having a seizure. Benzos are given to people that go to the ER when bugging out on stimulants, so I would assume that it is fine to take after the cocaine, as it will ease the comedown symptoms. As for strokes or heat attacks, you would need to go to a hospital for treatment of those. Chewing on cinnamon and eating garlic aren't going to help in a situation like that. There isn't much you can do if you have a stroke, because I don't think that you would be conscience for it.

It sounds like you are paranoid right now from the cocaine use. You should really chill with that, and at least try to cut down the amount of times you get high. If this is what you are dealing with when you get high, then it really isn't worth it.

I will edit the title for you.

The decreasing effect of cocaine is likely from tolerance, there is nothing you can do but abstain from cocaine usage for a long time to make it better.

Things to watch out for when using stimulants: sudden "thunderclap" headaches, paralysis on one side of the body, crushing/burning pain, especially in the upper left quadrant of your body or radiating down one arm, weakness to one side or general malaise.

If you have a stroke, you should be lucky if you remember the event. Call 911. Let them know where you are and stay where you are.
Heart attacks are more noticeable and are usually detected by a sudden crushing chest/upper body pain. In that case, take some aspirin and get to emerg ASAP.

Don't fuck around if you have a vascular incident (heart attack/stroke). Call 911 and try to remain as calm as you can.

the best advice, of course, is to slow down your cocaine use.

How do people get addicted to both extreme uppers and downers? I've never understood. Downers > Uppers

 

[Doug2113]

1. Coke isn't really an extreme upper IMHO. MDMA and Methamphetamine are harder. Cocaine might be more toxic, but in terms of effects it has, Cocaine doesn't really touch those.
2. That's a silly question. Drugs are addictive. They did both; they liked both; they kept doing both too much and developed a habit. Open and shut case there.
3. The statement "Downers>Uppers" is purely subjective. It's like saying that "ketchup>mayo." What do you want me to say? "You're right, downers are the shit and no one should do uppers because I don't like them,"?

^ Agree with you there doug, especially on number three. Personally just assume everyone's got a DOC, and as most people are different and enjoy various activities.

overdose of cocine is very harmful for peoples special who use frequently are addicted peoples face health problems such as condition in sane madness aggressiveness and lots of other things

 

[ykm420]

Highlyyyyy doubt you was even remotely an overdose, man.. From what you typed, your elevated heartrate was the only 'symptom' here.
I've mixed benzos and coke numberous times, it's not harmful from my experience, and it was very high doses of both. (not implying to do this)

Dude please switch to snorting coke, it is much safer that way and you can gauge your doses better. Your going to turn your heart to shit if you keep shooting coke. You are already addicted to heroin, if you want to do coke to just snort it. It may waste a little more but it is much harder to over dose on. And you probably got close to overdosing, the kpin probably stopped it from happening. Coke is weird like that , sometimes in the beginning of your session you get some nice positive euphoria. But as you keep dosing it seems it isn't doing anything at all anymore, it's just the way cocaine works.
