First of all, hey everyone. I am new to bluelight. Just seeking some advice.
A bit of a background on *my friend*.....*my friend* has experiences with many different substances including but not limited to:
Benzos, opiates/oids(fentanyl, tabs, OC, dillies etc everything except heroin) , marijuana/hash, MDMA, psilocybe cubensis and cyanescens shrooms and...thats about it.
*My friend* went to the ER a few days ago. He took some pretty pure MDMA the saturday before and all week had been battling depression from serotonin depletion. So the week was okay minus the depression, but then friday rolls around. He takes an Opti-Men multi vitamin, then drinks a red bull. Takes a .5mg xanax and doesnt feel "good", a bit nauseated and panicked suprisingly. That subsides, then about four hours later, he pops two 50mg tapentadols. 10 minutes later....
He Noticed tingling sensation in face and extremeties, difficult breathing, surreal feeling, confusion, rapid heart rate, severe dry mouth, felt like he was about to seize or go into cardiac arrest.
Ambulance got there, took him to the hospital, after painfully struggling on the hospital bed for about two hours with this feeling, it subsided.
He was completely honest with the doctor when asked what happened, and then the doctor gives no explainaition and on the report basically rights him off with the title "Polysubstance abuse" which pretty much means, "Yeah you put yourself in here and are therefore a low life and do not deserve one bit of my REAL medical advice."
Ever since this happened, he went to bed that night and felt right to sleep. Woke up the next day and felt "okay" then he and his family went out for lunch somewhere. NOPE. Panic attack the whole ride in the car. Panic attack at restaurant. Overwhelming anxiety. This has been going on for two days. He is not sure what to do. Please help.
He thinks it was the combination of the NRI and Xanax that interacted negatively, because the prior night (thursday) to the ER visit, he took three tapentadols and everything was fine.
Any thoughts...or suggestions? I just want a better opinion than "You are a drug user and I will not help you". I just wanted to know what caused it..so that I know NOT to do it again. Its harm reduction right?
Anyways...PLEASE HELP!
