Stimulants Drank a bunch of coffee and then IV'd speed - fuck, what should I do?

[DoctorSativa]

Hey guys,

I drank two cups of strong coffee and then forgot I drank them. I them shot about 30-40mg's of amphetamine sulphate. I think my heart is going to fail if it keeps beating this fast. Is there anything I can do to cancel out one or the other, preferably the caffeine?

Thanks for any tips.

Edit: I have mirtazapine (Remeron) which might block some receptors the speed is acting on. If I took a high dose of mirtazapine, would it block the receptors quickly enough to cancel out some effects?

Oh, I'm also dealing with opiate w/d, maybe that has something to do with it but I doubt it

Anxiety (which will be heightened by opiate W/D, coffee and amphetamines..) is likely going to be the biggest problem here. Just chill out dude, as long as you're relatively healthy there should be little to worry about. Try some light activities, nothing too strenuous but enough for your body to rid itself of the excess stimulation.

Go for a walk or something, you'll live.



as far as a drug to "cancel" the effects.... well, you're shit outta luck. Especially considering you IV'ed, the drug near instantly went to the brain so there's no hope of stopping it now.

Alright man, thanks for the advice... I have had this happen before, you shoulda seen me when I drank a rockstar when I was on meth. I will go for a walk, that should at least take my mind off of my heart rate. This is a frikkin awesome forum too... some of the things I've learned here...

Take it easy!

I would say that a therapeutic dose (15-45mg) mitazapine might help because it will compensate for release of adrenaline by blocking adrenergic receptors and blocking histamine.

A benzo might be better though because it would ease your anxiety over your racing heart.

Sounds like you're just tweaking out and panicking. Just relax.

 

[TheLostBoys]

This is the reason I hate stimulants, you tweak & heart goes non-stop.

You will be okay, just take a walk like others suggested, not to far tho. 5 to 10mgs of Valium would help the cause but if u don't have a benzo, you will have to ride it out.

When you do come down, eat a healthy meal & get a good night sleep.

I can't count how many times I freaked out that my heart is going to fail, especially on methamp.

I agree that's one of the shittiest effects of stims - that anxiety and increased self-awareness, even worse if you had studied the effects of these drugs before and thus know that these drugs can cause heart failure. Fact is as long as your heart is healthy and young it takes extreme doses for heart to fail.

It's always good to have some fast acting benzo on hand when taking moderate doses of stims, especially IVed, just don't rely on them too much or you have 2 addictions on you before you know it, for freakout attacks (my name for less intense panic attacks hehe) they are priceless though.

When you don't have any benzo either try going for a walk as suggested or lie in bed in fetal position, that can help too

I'm always weary of this combination. Even with my high Caffeine tolerance i've gotten very bad anxiety attacks on Meth, but only when i over do the caffeine while binging. Coffee is great on the comedown to bring back motivation, but in moderation. Good luck.

Seroquel seems to be a nice landing pad when I've done too much meth or just want to come down and not feel like shit. I've also read that it antagonizes the same receptors that the meth agonizes and will help bring you back down if you've done too much meth or if you just want to have a smooth come down. Personally it has worked for me when I was too high and wanted to come down comfortably.

Go do something physical - go for a walk, tidy up, etc. And just remember to breathe.

Exercise better decision-making in the future.

Caffeine is arguably one of the worst stimulants to co-administer on top of another stimulant. There's a real potential for arrhythmia, hyperthermia, or an acute hypertensive crisis (among other bad effects).
