Od'd a handfull of times but the worst was a combination of a lot of Pregabalin, Morphine, Alcohol, and Cocaine where i spent 3 days in a coma
Yes.
Heroin multiple times. It's scary and painful
fentanyl- blacked out, don't remember
methadone & temazepam = Felt really good. Didn't care I was OD'ing until I was put into the hospital.
my god, that's a sad story i hope you're better and have found a home nowThe only time I have ever overdosed properly was on barbiturates and it was intentional.
It was a very bad time in my life and I was made homeless again. After having been homeless for three years on-and-off I just couldn't handle it again on top of everything else going on in my life.
I went to the public library to listen to my favourite music on YouTube on their computers while I waited to OD. The library has toilets where there's one room with a toilet, sink etc and you can lock yourself in. Once I felt the pills kick in I was going to go into one to die. It was 10am and nobody would know the same person was locked in there all day until security checked when the library closed 7 hours later.
I took a lot of Phenobarbital and suddenly felt it kick in. The speed with which it hit me is what saved my life. I went to get up and go into the bathroom and fell backwards off my chair before I could even stand up. Everything went black and I fell unconscious as I hit the floor (in what seemed like slow motion).
I woke up 4 days later on a ventilator in intensive care.
Later I was told that paramedics had arrived within 5 minutes of my OD and that I had already been in a coma when they arrived.
I hate saying this part, because I don't wanna encourage people to follow suit, but it was probably the nicest possible way to go. Before losing consciousness I just felt extremely calm and had an overwhelming sense of peace before rapid losing consciousness in a way that just felt like falling asleep.

I ODed on meth once. I was a total dumbass, and hit my bowl 3 HUGE times back to back - without stopping for oxygen... so just the lack of oxygen is going to cause a reaction at that point. I did it inside my walk in closet, home alone. Just got off work, ready to get blasted. I walked out of the closet and halfway collapsed on my bed while my vision blacked out and I felt pins and needles all over, extremities felt like they were going to sleep, or no circulation feeling. I walked down the hall with my phone in my hand, trying to think of who I know that I can call who does meth. I only knew one other person that did it. I kept having to lean against the wall in my hallway because my vision was going in and out (blacking out.) By the time I got to the living room, my heart was beating OUTSIDE of my chest. Faster and harder than any humans heart should ever beat. My head was pulsating and the pressure on the sides of my head felt as if my head were to explode any second. With a heart and a head about to explode, vision going in and out, pins and needles all over - and I actually started to drive to the hospital (very close by) but I didn’t because I wasn’t well enough to drive. This all happened very, very fast.
The moment I knew I couldn’t drive, I pictured my children growing up to discover their mother overdosed on meth and died. That thought drove me to call 911. But while the operator had me on hold, I cried out to God with all my heart because I didn’t think I’d live til the ambulance came. Once I established clear connection with God, like it all just, went away. I canceled the ambulance. I was fine. Except something must’ve chemically went haywire because I had panic attacks every other day, then every week, month, they ended about 6 months later and never came back (unless I’m in opioid withdrawals) and other than that, I’m fine. No lasting damage.
OD'd on propoxyphene once. Incredibly high heart rate and panic. It mite have just been caused by cannabis, but I felt like I was dying. Went to ER, Poison Control was called, doctor bitched me out, I'm still glad that drug is gone
Precipitated wifhdrawL suckz even for non dependent users. Always makes me cryIn what way does heroin OD hurt? I would have imagined the opposite was true (what with it being a very potent pain-killer). I've OD'd on heroin/oxy/morphine to the extent that I have injected them and then immediately nodded off into unconsciousness but I've always just woken up an hour or two later and been fine.

Yeah if you are on a strong opioid, especially OD level and given narcan you will have precipitated wd even if its your first timeI'm not sure how precipitated withdrawal could happen without dependence..
Not saying it doesn't exist. Just that I wasn't aware it existed.

Yeah, only a few hoursInteresting. I would expect any withdrawal to wear off pretty fast. Since your body doesn't think it needs such a crazy amount more opioids than it has.
