I wrote about how this drug affects my blood pressure near mid page. Below that is an OT section about how other things affect/have affected my BP, including an OD/Interaction that raised my BP unbelievably high, making my retinas bleed, causing fluid, swelling, and pain in my lungs, and bursting a vein or something in my stomach or esophagus, causing my vomit to have blood in it. I could delete it. The drugs I am on just make me type away, often ending up with OT stuff that is somehow connected to something I wrote on topic. Ot stuff is in italics
I purchased half a gram of the stuff and smoked it all in two or three days. It gave a powerful, incredibly pleasant rush and very strong euphoria, unfortunately the strongest effects lasted maybe 3 minutes and within 5-8min or so I was ready to load another dose into my pipe and light up. I was guessing by the effects that it might be similar to crack when smoked.
I found today that oxycontin is a lot more fun than poppies. I hope to try oxycontin and dimethocaine together, perhaps with a benzo added. Maybe also methylone or mephedrone. I could take a hit of dimethocaine every 15-20min, let it wear off completely for a few minutes to feel only the other stuff, then take another hit. I'd be worried about doing it like every 10min or less due to a possible substantial rise in BP after a number of hits.
I also did a little test to see how it affected my blood pressure and heart rate. Below is the results:
I measured immediately after smoking as you reach peak in just a few seconds and start coming down just as an estimate, 2-4min after inhalation. My BP was also checked beforehand and was near the middle of its normal range both times. Normal for me being around 136/80 Pulse 81.
Trial one - One hit of dimethocaine - BP 147/91 P95 - This is actually not above my normal stimulant free range, though it is very near what I'd consider the max end of normal(149/95 P100).
Trial two - Four hits 3-7min apart(estimate) - BP 169/100 P113
The second time my BP was considerably higher as was heart rate. I was feeling a rather mild anxiety that might have been partly responsible, but that was certainly not the sole cause. Either it was mostly the drug itself or holding my breath and taking the measurement while I was still catching my breath.
Fortunately, in both cases, my blood pressure dropped down close to the middle of my typical range in a matter of minutes.
I do think the higher elevation in trial two was at least in part caused by holding my breath for about 30sec, starting the test the instant I exhaled, but I also think the drug played a role.
My BP did not reach a level where any complications were likely, especially since it was down to normal in 10min or less.
During my severe panic attacks, my BP often rises to like 175/95 P115(the systolic rises most), usually I think I am dying. The worst panic attack had it about 190/102 P140 when initially tested like 5min after start. After laying down with eyes closed in silence, my systolic dropped down to the 170s. My mom gave me 3 alprazolam pills and both mind and BP were normal about 30min later.
My point in talking about the panic attacks is that they definitely bring my BP and pulse as high or higher than dimethocaine and it stays high several times as long even with a good dose of benzos(without benzos they typically last 2-6 hours unless caused by a psychedelic.
A bad DOI trip had me ranging from fear that I might die to complete certainty that death was minutes away and it didn't even start to get tolerable for over 30 hours(for whatever reason, my BP stayed below 160/90, often being at low end of my typical range, so it was pointless to include that. The drugs I'm on make me want to type the first thing that comes to mind . The info about my panic attacks was just to show that my BP rises more and for longer when I have panic attacks than from smoking dimethocaine, even if the rise from smoking it was entirely from the drug and not affected by breath holding or the mild anxiety I was experiencing right then, and the BP rises from the panic attacks have caused no harm.
I may be wrong, and if anyone knows I am wrong, please correct me.
I think blood pressure almost always has to stay elevated for at least a number of hours and most often days or longer before complications arise, unless it is severely elevated (like 200/110 minimum, and probably even higher and most often even folks in hypertensive urgency(I believe it is defined as 240/120 or higher), recover with no damage and hypertension usually has few if any symptoms until it gets somewhere near that level. I actually once had to be rushed to the ER and my blood pressure tested was 300/200 and they had to give me a drug to lower it fast because my retinas were bleeding, I was developing respiratory problems getting some fluid in lungs due to the severe BP rise and there was apparently some blood in my vomit, Maybe also because it was at an extremely dangerous level. They called it a hypertensive emergency which is usually reserved for when organ damage is occurring or about to occur. I guess my lungs and eyes were at rismI remember feeling pain from breathing at moments My systolic was actually above 300 but I don't know how much. I looked and looked and have only found 3 cases where people had systolic pressures over 300, with one being so high that they could not measure it(above 320). Surprisingly, two made full recoveries. I don't know what became of the other.
I would have probably died from the OD/interaction if my body wasn't habituated to severe hypertension running above 190/125 on average. I hadn't been to the doctor in six or seven years and did not know my BP was high until the trip to the hospital above(large dose of DXM and large dose of ephedra(I started popping the pills as I got sedated, oblivious to the danger in my condition, eating at least six(there were six/pack)and I think 2 or 3 packs - 12 -18 pills w/25mg ephedrine each and some caffeine. The ephedra alone would probably have landed me in the ER in that amount but the DXM probably made it worse. I'm very lucky to both be alive and to not be suffering any permanent damage from that. I should however consider that it worked out for the best. I might have gone years longer without finding out about my BP problem(and very extremely high triglycerides, I think like 20x normal levels before starting med). The high BP could have slowly damaged my heart or gradually weakened a brain blood vessel till it bursted, or caused stroke or heart attack with acute increases due to anger, fear, pain, or something else. Perhaps I'd be damaged or dead if not for that bad drug combo/OD. I'm sure it would have been years more without a doctors visit because I had no insurance and no money to pay.
if you have a mac you should still be able to search the content of the articles with spotlight though...
