Okay, last night something happpened that was kinda freaky. It was only my second time to ever shoot up coke (a friend did it for me). Anyway, for about the first 15-30 seconds after he pulled the needle out, I was sitting there thinking, "I don't feel anything. This isn't doing anything for me. I should do some more..." BANG! It hit me hard. It's like it just rushed to my head. I got all light-headed and dizzy and the room started to spin. I felt I couldn't breath. I put my head down in my hands, hoping my head would clear but it didn't. Everybody's voices sounded like echoey robots miles away. I tried to look around but everything was going black. All I saw was dark blurry figures, getting darker. All I could think was how I was going to have to be rushed to the hospital. Or maybe my friends would just leave me to die. I was SURE I was dying. I was terrified. "Are you okay?" my friends were asking. "Duuuude, hooow muuuch coooke diiiid you giiiive meee?" I asked. My voiced sounded all slurred coming out of my mouth. I tried to drink some water but ended up spilling it on the floor because I couldn't see anything, feel anything, and my balance was way off. A friend came in from outside and opened the door. The icey air outside felt good and so I jumped up and stumbled dizzily outside where I calapsed on the ground and lay there. My friends came out and found my laying on the ground in the 22*F weather. Crazily enough I wasn't even cold. The made me come inside because they were scared the house was being watched. When I came back in my head started to clear and I knew I would be okay. I assured my friends I was alright and then I started really enjoying the high. About an hour later I was sitting on the bed and started to get really really hot so I jumped up to go in the bathroom where I thought it was cooler cos the window was open. (My friend was shooting up and didn't want the door open.) Anyway, the bathroom wasn't any cooler, but by the time I realized this it was too late to make it back over to the bed and I ended up blacking out. I zoned back into reality, sitting on the floor, with mild convulsions. My ears were ringing. Once again my friend was asking if I was okay. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine," I said. "I don't know what the hell's the matter with me!" I was kinda freaked out though. I had to go outside again to try to cool down.
So anyway, I'm wondering if blacking out is a common thing to happen when you shoot up coke, or if I did TOO MUCH, or what? I don't know how much coke I did, exactly, because my friend prepared it for me. I think maybe it was about 1/8 gram. Even though I do lots of speed, I haven't had that much experience with coke. Any tips on how to make this NOT happen would be good. I was so fucking freaked out thinking I was gonna die at first. It's like I just KNEW I was gonna die. Luckily I was okay. haha.

It sounds like you had why to much! After all when you shoot a drug you dont know that well its best to start small. 1/8 of a gram would probably make even me OD. But yha, start small. If your friends are preping it ask um to only put in about as much as one line worth and see where you go from there, after all your young, you still have vains. Redosing isnt all that bad.
 
^---- You should only prepare your own injections if you have experiance, if not, let a trusted junkie friend do it for you.
 
No one else should ever touch your needle. If you dont have experience you watch someone else prepare theirs.
 
1/8 of a gram is definetly too much for an IV of coke in my opinion! cut back on the dose and that will probably never happen again.
 
Hey guys, thanx 4 the replies. I am pretty new to shooting up so I didn't know how to prep my own needle so that's why my friend did it. He's always the one who preps for everybody--his room-mate and any other friends that come over. Anyway, I guess I should learn how to do it so I can do it myself. And yeah, next time I will at least start with less coke than that to see how I handle it.
 
smokin8ball, after reading your last couple of posts, I really think you're a person who should not do drugs, for others' sakes as well as your own
 
There are bad experiences by chance, and there there is irresponsibility and stupidity. Logic alone should tell you that shooting an eighth of a gram of coke is too much. Always know what you're ingesting, and don't believe whatever another idiot may tell you
