amphetamine cyanosis questions

[catsandstuff]

I am pretty tweaked atm, so i may be a bit nonsensical. I have questions on the dangers and causes of amphetamine induced cyanosis.

1. Why do you get cyanosis if cyanosis is cause by a lack of oxygen in the blood? The only cause I can think of is vasoconstriction, but I dont understand why that would cause a lack of oxygen in the hemoglobin as long as your breathing is regular.

2. Is this dangerous?

3. What can help this? The only thing that ever significantly helped me was getting warm water, I havent tried alcohol to remedy it, but I imagine as a peripheral vasodilator it would help out.

I hope I posted this in the right place.

I though vasoconstriction, too.

Yes alcohol will help. Benzos would be better. Yes, I realize they don't dilate blood vessels. They will still help. Trust me on this.
