Cocaine Did I OD?

Hi all. So I've been on a cocaine bender for about a month now, shooting up about a ball in one sitting spread out over several shots. I've never weighed out doses since I started shooting coke about 5 years ago, typically Ill pull the plunger on a 3cc syringe and just load my cocaine through the top, put the very top of the plunger back over the syringe, flip the syringe up so all the coke is now on the plunger and push the plunger in till right before the coke hits the top of the syringe/needle. Then i draw in my water and voila.

I know what I described must have the harm reduction gods going crazy... I know, i know. But that's kinda how I introduced myself to IV cocaine use and I like it better than the 'proper' way. I gauge the dose by how much dry coke is in the syringe and then usually draw up a little over 1cc of water, if I went too heavy on the coke I'll draw closer to 1.5 and do it in 2 shots 😬😬

Let me tell you, I've had some zingers. But in 5 years of experimenting this way (on and off over the years) the thought lingering in the back of my head every time is that one day I'm gonna get too excited and do a too heavy shot and there will be no coming back. Well I think I'm gonna cool it because I'm getting close. The other day, I saw how loaded the syringe was and I'm like fuck yeah send it. Because my dose has slowly increased over the years as I tip toe it past the previous largest dose, but I think in the back of my head I knew that was gonna be too much even for a split dose. Well there I went... poke, flash, draw....breathe......plunge.......oooohhhh shiiiiiit.......
....anyone who has iv coke before knows that taste of gasoline that hits your tongue, the smell fills your nostrils and your face goes numb....Well I instantly knew I fucked up and shot too much because those 3 things were over the top. I froze and felt my eyes get wide open... and then, here it comes...
I had read that typically what happens when someone ODs on coke, is that they become unable to breathe. Something about their brain being unable to control the breathing muscles and you just stop breathing....well I definitely felt that coming on. So, scared shitless for my life I take the deepest breath I can and right about at the same time as that, I started to shake violently out of control. This wasn't like an epileptic seizure type of shake.... I remember as I felt it coming on I jumped from my bed and tried to make it out my door and to the living room where there was someone who could have tried to call for help (even though I know there is no helping a cocaine OD). But I never even made it out my room. I was jerking my head, arms, legs so violently I knocked down everything in my room. So there I was on the floor of my bedroom by my door, flopping around violently out of control...picture a fish out of water...very much so...struggling to breathe as well. Thinking is this it??! I remember feeling my little gasps for air getting shorter and shorter and more labored...those lasting 2 breaths took everything I had, all my strength, to inhale and exhale. And after that 2nd breath, I felt like it was wearing off and inch my way back to life. Slowly the violent shaking stopped and I was able to recover my breath.

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this before and was this technically an OD.

I wish I could say that that experience scared some sense into me, but it didn't 😔😔
A week later it happened again. This time I ended up on the floor banging my head violently against it and grunting/yelling. It was ugly. I ended up with an orbital fracture and my right eye was swollen shut..

Ok now I think I'll cool it for a while.
 
Maybe chill on the iv coke and don’t push the limits friend. 😊 you don’t wanna be another statistic.
Maybe weigh it out. That could help you gauge how much you’ve done so you don’t fuck it up and do too much.
Good luck.

Ur coke must be bashed to fuck, I had a close call 3 times on 200mg+, terrible grand mal seizures.

What the fk, taste of gasoline? It has a unique taste of organic/chemical smell but it doesn't taste like gasoline :s tastes like a plant-ish chemical taste.

I eat ass and it tastes like skittles... maybe my taste buds are bashed to fuck too

🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ I don't know how much 200mg is compared to what I took, bud. But congratulations if your coke is better.

Stop what you're doing. Banging cocaine just causes misery and fucking sorrow. :s
 
Sorry the digression, I know you just asked: did I OD? And the answer is: yes, but because we are humans after all, you probably wanted to tell someone the shit you are going through and receive some word of advice as well

Not sure if that's what you really want, but if you want to kill yourself, find a cheap way to do it (if you are in the US buy a gun) and give someone you love and does not do cocaine, or some charity, the money you would spent on cocaine the next 6 months. Maybe it doesn't sort anything world -wide, but sounds a better way of leaving than slapping the floor with your body like a fish.

That was just a dark joke (ha, ha, ha), don't do that

A remotely plausible advice is: curb your addiction, start measuring and try to set a max. dose and go by cutting it down slowly, 20 mg this week, 20 next one... is not that hard to start doing it, is easy to follow up (just write on a paper the weekly dose, at some point take a look at that paper and feel a bit proud you already went from Z to X) and at least do that until you put some distance to that OD level. But honestly, the best advice is just stop it, take a break and bring down tolerance... the tapering down on cocaine does not work long.

Apologies if this is some captain obvious advice you tried already, but not sure what else I can do from my keyboard, Also apologies for joke , it was not very sparkly, but I am not in my best morning here.

I had an experience almost identical to yours. I always weigh out my doses and usually do about 0.15 however my roommates also use and always giving me their leftover cottons. One of these people is about 200 lb and a user for 30 years so their doses are about .25. so I had about five cottons and I made the shot, usually these shots are right in my dose range but on this occasion one of the cottons still had a significant amount in it. Once I injected about 5 seconds in I could tell something was wrong. Immediately told my friend next to me that I did too much and to watch me. I immediately started violently shaking while I was still standing during this time I knew I was in trouble so I focused as hard as I could on breathing and staying conscious. I couldn't even sit down on the bed directly behind me I was stuck in a semi-squat position shaking. This lasted about 5 minutes until I was able to speak again. During the whole 5 minutes I was attempting to speak to my friend however only maybe one word or even one syllable was able to be deciphered out of the whole sentence in my head. I thought I was overdosed but tried to stay calm. I've witnessed others OD and either collapse and seize or shake like I did. I saw someone inject into the artery instead of the vein and that also caused a seizure. Does this sound like I overdosed and if not what does that look like.
 
There definitely are ways to counter act the insane vascular constriction effects of cocaine, because this all sounds like a very intense and sudden hypoxia (similar to nitrous “fishing out”). You need to counter with a vasodilator and be very careful because intense rise or drop in blood pressure is what can give someone a heart attack. eg why you never do amyl nitrate and viagria.

Before a sesh eat vitamin C rich foods, take a small bit of benzo and propranolol if you have it. And for these acute instances do a tiny bit of poppers - one of the most effective vascodilators. this should open those blood vessels and get oxygen back to your brain.

Cocaine “ringers” is just hypoxia. Choke yourself out and see for yourself (please don’t though)
 
Sounds alot like the minor coke od i had except my breathing was fine i just seized up like a motherfucker. Walking while like that is completely impossible as you have no muscle control. The taste of gasoline is insane though when you do to much
 
I also got myself a few tools: Blood pressure monitor, oximeter, and a vein finder. you can get each on amazon for around $20.

A really effective combo taken before a sesh is propranolol and spironolactone- taken together they both have greater effectiveness then separately.

I highly recommend trying some Vasodilators before a session just to see for yourself the difference. I did a really similar experiment with nitrous oxide- using an oximeter, I could see my blood ox drop and a lot of the facts from nitrous wasn’t the drug itself, but it chemically creating hypoxia by displacing oxygen. In the hospital when they give you nitrous It’s always a mix 70% the rest, nitrogen and oxygen- so now if I do nitrous I’m always sipping and mixing with oxygen never depriving my brain oxygen for extended periods of time.

I experienced similar effects with cocaine without a vasodilator! Essentially, your brain is being deprived of oxygen through vasoconstriction- your heart freaks out trying to increase blood pressure to get oxygen to your brain. And you want to throw up because your brain is like I’ve suddenly been been poisoned lol

It's great that you're taking steps to monitor your health with those tools! It's smart to be aware of what's happening in your body.

About the propranolol and spironolactone combo, it's definitely interesting, but using prescription medications to manage cocaine use can be a complex issue. While these medications can lower blood pressure and heart rate, they can also have side effects and interact with cocaine in ways that could be harmful (1). For instance, propranolol can mask the symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), a potential side effect of cocaine use (2). Spironolactone can cause electrolyte imbalances, which can be dangerous when combined with cocaine's dehydrating effects (3).

The vasoconstriction thing is definitely real. Cocaine narrows your blood vessels, including those in your heart and brain. This is why you might feel dizzy, nauseous, or short of breath. But using vasodilators to counteract that can be risky, especially if you're already taking medications that lower blood pressure. It's important to be aware of the potential interactions and risks before combining substances.

Experimenting and learning about your body's responses is admirable, but remember that safety is paramount. If you're looking for harm reduction strategies, focusing on basic things like staying hydrated, eating a healthy diet, and getting regular exercise can be a great place to start!

Yes definitely had those effects from spiro and propanol on their own as well along with taking them prescribed to counter adderall unwanted stim side effects. def need an electrolyte solution (without potassium spiro makes you expel salt retain potassium) i make my own just honey salt pinch of baking powder and a some warm water shake her up and there ya go! Yes seems like there’s research showing propanol is not as good as we’d hope for coke, from what i understand coke is already doing some beta blocking so its increasing that effect.

in my first two weeks i was countering the high heart rate blood pressure- however now im getting just above normal pressure but low end heart rate which isn’t ideal and rather concerning- usually just at the end of a loooong run. but in these cases ill pop .125mg xan and take the smallest sniff of poppers i can and it goes right back to normal. i’d only suggest this is acute cases of boarding on very low heart rate/ seizure territory.
 
To me an od= death, IMO
Because I use to pass out on alcohol and according to many it is a drug, usually those, I've been there types, addiction counselors, rehab owners/ legal scam artists, and that old battle axe who taught 11 and 12 grade health at one of the high Schools I attended. Also Dr. Drew, use to listen to at night while drinking, when Adam Corolla was his side kick.
I use to pass out and that's what happens on many od's, however I never heard of drinking yourself unconscious an overdose, more like let his dumbass sleep it off. So no death, no od.
You took too much, just like I would drink too much.
To me an overdose= death.
So you used too much but considering you wrote a post, to me you had way too much.
I don't care, an overdose is death, IMO. Even though I would say you had too much, but in my world population 1 or less, no od just way too much. You shoot too much coke, you are not gonna have a good time. You od, you die. Unless it is an opiod and you get Narcanned awake.

Yeah this sounds like an accidental OD. I actually recently accidentally did too much coke in a 💉 and it scared the shit out of me. I did a decent H heavy speedball, and after like 10 minutes I decided to do a decent shot of coke since I only put a small amount in the speedball.

I got the shot ready, using a pretty generous amount but not more than I thought I could handle. Right after I finished getting it ready, I realized the dope was kicking my ass hard and it would be better to wait until it starts to wear off a bit before I do more coke. I nodded out and slept for a few hours.

When I woke up I was totally out of it. I saw the coke shot sitting in my drawer ready to go, and for some reason I thought I should add more to it. I added another bit of coke to the shit and banged it, and as soon as it started to kick in I realized I had fucked up. My ears started ringing like crazy and I was having trouble moving my body, like I couldn't control my legs. It took some real effort just to take one step back and sit down on my bed. I just say there trying to stay as calm as possible hoping that I didn't suddenly seize out of something.

There was one other time that I accidently did too much but this was definitely worse. I think I was like literally right at the precipice and could have easily died from that hit..

Moral of the story be careful with IV coke! I'm more scared of that than the fentanyl around nowadays. I have a huge opiate tolerance, I can do like half a gram in a shot and be totally lucid and functional still. Coke on the other hand....I use it pretty regularly but not as much as dope and my tolerance for it is not super high. On top of that, the wild variance in the potency of the soft I have been getting has been making things kinda tricky. That day I had particularly strong coke

I think the same with coke, that its not a joke. I had some bad experiences with it. The problem is what you said, the purity of the coke is not always the same. And the second problem is to go to far with dose, always trying to get a heavy rush.

Answering to OP I think youre playing with fire. You could have died easy. And I dont understand how you couldnt be frightened by this experience/OD. Continue like this if you want to die.

I have to say that I was very scared after the last experience with large dose coke IV. Theres 2 years now that I dont do coke, and trust me that IV coke was the first choice when I wanted to be fucked up.

When you have tolerance to H, slam it is a child game compared to IV coke. Thats my exlerience.
 
What's up everyone, just logged back on after a long time to ask a question about my recent bag 😅 but wanted to check on this old thread and say I'm still alive, thank God, and I hope you're all being as safe as possible with this stupid shit we do... love you all
