Hi,

I used cocaine a few times, mostly good quality. I noticed that I had difficulty breathing some times, I guess it was anxiety.

Am I doing it do much? Last time I did like a line and it was ok. Then I did like another one, and I also was fine. Later on I did like 2 or 3 lines in a row, and when it came down, I had this annoying difficulty breathing. So annoying that I had to left the club. Half an hour later I took 0.5mg xanax and I was breathing with no difficulty, although very sleepy.

I dont feel like taking too much, and I dont know why this happens. I used to do speed without a problem.

Thanks!!!
 
thats weird i know older people seriously 50 to 60+ years olds who cant breath worth a fuck & use cocaine to help it.... you might want to watch the only thing i can think of is lack of oxygen witch may be you getting ready for stroke or heart attack stay safe
 
It could either be a sign of too much cocaine intake, or a psychosomatic response. This is caused by the vasoconstrictive qualities stimulants carry, which benzodiazipines (xanax) treat.

Try taking it easy for awhile. This could cause problems down the road if it continues.
 
This is a common side effect of cocaine...I fondly remember doing a few lines of blow and checking my pulse and heart rate every 12 seconds...

lol yes. its funny cause its true. but its more like scary when you think about it.

i stay away from that stuff.
 
This is not good. Shortness of breath/difficulty breathing is code for 'heart problem'. The cocaine is likely putting too much strain on your heart & not getting enough oxygen, causing shortness of breath.

Most certainly consider discontinuing the cocaine.
 
But it's sooooo good :)

I've never had such problems. Like everyone else says. I'd stop doing that immediately. This is your life on the line.
 
Am I doing too much?

I guess the problem occurs mostly when I do more than I normally do. You know, when you're at a club and you wait too much to do that other line, and starts to get a little anxious, you may exaggerate a little when you finally go to the toilet to snort again. I can probably have done a quarter gram at once, and when It comes down I start to feel difficulty breathing.

Another thing to consider is that Xanax solves the problem. I'm actually thinking about taking .5mg xanax (or even less) before snorting cocaine.

But what I find really strange is that I don't have this issue with Speed, which is very similar to Cocaine. Excepts when it comes down, then I do feel a little difficulty breathing too. That's why I', guessing it's an anxiety thing.

I just can't believe that It's a heart issue, since I do Speed, Ecstasy, and a mostly any other stim without a problem.
 
cocaine depresses the part of your brain that tells you to breath.

When you go to sleep after a night of binging cocaine, you breath about 6-7 times a minute your breath is so depressed.

It is a drug with VERY powerful side-effects.

Talk about oxygen deprivation!!
 
My rommie use to slam unfiltered coke, and went to the hospital 3 times for being unable to breath, he was doin a bunch a other shit too, but im sure that was part of it

This. The other option is that it could be anxiety brought on by too much stimulant, or shortness of breath due to increased heartrate/bp.

Please cite both of these. This is saying you only breathe once every 10 seconds, and I find that hard to believe. Cocaine is also a stimulant, and if anything, your breathing would increase, not decrease. I think if what you said were the case, people on Ritalin, Adderall, Desoxyn, and etc would have slower breathing as an involuntary response to their drugs... The exception being in *overdose*, not as a regular side-effect, as a result of seizures or improper neurotransmitter signaling.
 
I felt difficult of breating today... i shoooted 0.25g , i think I was close to OD.... Icloudn't stand
 
With the right dose of coke, every breath should feel like an orgasm


No, with the right dose of coke every orgasm should feel like a breath of fresh air.. so if your having trouble breathing.. just beat off a lot and it will help you feel like your breathing better. ;)

Edit: That's my excuse for doing it anyway..

Hey! I have this problem too! If I do coke or ritalin I have shortness of breath for a good hour or 2. It can be pretty scary.But when I do speed or E I don`t have any problems. At first I just thought it was because I got a little fatter than norm. Weird.

Hello.... bing bing bing...that most likely is not a good thing......way back when coke was coke...like 20 years ago....that was never a complaaint unless the user had a heart problem or.... the person got coke cut with crazy ass cuts......very rare back then.... now days.... the bing bing bing means ... be very careful coke is cut with a multitude of very bad things including heart drugs.... check out the dea microgram reports and you will be amazed of the garbage that is in so called ....pure coke...even right off the kilo it has bad things ....FYI :\
 
hmm sounds bad see a doctor. Tell him about the coke.
You can goto ER and they will see to you straight away.
isn't it 1 out 10 people who go to ER in UK with chest pains have coke in there system or maybe its more shocking than that.
 
this always used to happen to me and i found that it would become increasingly worse the more i thought about it. i kept thinking i was going to have a heart attack or something. everyone i know has said this also commonly happens to them, the key is just not to think about it as the paranoia will only make you feel worse. just recognize your limit and have a good time!
