Not open for further replies.
28 yr old F 10 year habit with heroin
one near fatal od h only-
narcan was used and i was ok within 12 hours
(narcan makes you feel like shit)
heroin od feels like NOTHING- you do not know you are about to go out
dont think just because you dont mix your drugs means you wont od
 
Female, 27, using various opiates IV for 7 years, never OD'd been very stoned but never OD'd, admittedly the majority of opiates I've used have been measured doses but still even using street herion, I am careful, like with a new batch making sure I wasn't alone or being on the phone with someone , come ON, take care of yourselves.
 
no, never OD'd (thankfully)...don't IV, usually benzo's from oral or nasal administration. Something I hope I never will happen, have never ended up in the hospital or anything, but a few times getting violently ill.
 
from what ive read most users, opiate/opiod users have been useing for about 5+ years or a little less. Now my question is WOULD THIS NOT CAUSE PERMENANT brain chemistry change in the brain??? because your reg endorphins are not being made anymore, but just being supplied with opiated like heroin. thanks guys. im just worried about 5+ year users.
 
18-Male
Last summer when I was in Atlanta w/my best friend (and his family), was the first and only time I OD'd. My friend had got to bed after smoking some weed so me and his cousin (who is unbelievably beautiful...sorry had to add that) went into her hotel room where she was staying with her aunt. Her aunt wasn't feeling good so she went to stay in my friends grandmothers room. Anyway, so we had the room to ourselves and we started to smoke some weed (decent, def not dank tho) and ended up smoking like 3 1/8th's (like around 14 grams...we smoked blunts and ouptomos, btw) in about an hour. Then she pulls out a bottle of hennessey from her bag and we begin to get hammered. After 5 shot I had to go piss, so I went into the restroom and after I was done doing my business, I started to wash my hands and noticed the HUGE assortment of pill bottles. There were 30mg Adderall , 7.5mg Percocets, 10/325 Vicodins, and a bunch of other drugs. So I asked her if I could have any and she said sure, so i went and took 3 Adderall's and continued to take shots with her. Then I go back into the rest room and take 2 of the Percocets and 3 of the Vicodins and for some reason (please remember I am plastered, blazed, and took the Adderall) forgot that I took the Adderall a half hour ago so I proceed to take 2 more (making the totally intake count to 150mg of Adderall, 15mg of Oxycodone, and 30mg of hydrocodone, plus 10-12 shots of 80 proof Henessesy and the weed, in about a 2 hour period). I stumble back into the room and finish the bottle off with her. And as soon as I take my last shot it hits me that I had taken 5 30mg Adderalls not 2. But I am so fucked up that I quickly forget as I hit of his cousin. Then about 20 mins later I start feeling really light headed and go into the bathroom. I hear my friends cousin saying something about having sex or she is going to bed. And I look in the mirror, and I didn't even recognize myself I was really pale and sorta of a green color. Then I remember just collapsing. I woke up about 5 hours later in the bathroom covered in blood, puke, and sweat. I had a huge bump on my head and I was still really fucked up.
Believe it or not after I cleaned up the bathroom, I took a shower and changed clothes and me and my friend went to his family get-together thingy with me still fucked up out of my mind and no one noticed or said a thing.
Def the best and worst drug experience of my life.
Take care.
 
i have o'd 6 or 7 times and needed narcan atall of them.I've been clean for about 2years but dabbled on & off about once a month less than that. It doesn't interest me anymore i don't feel the need for it.
 
i have OD'd one time. interesting experience, hope i never repeat it.

what scares me more is the times i have passed out for hours after shooting up, then woke up with ears ringing and my sight blurry. i guess just on the edge of an OD...
 
One opioid overdose ... 12 days in a coma, over a month in the hospital and 2 months in an assisted care fascility ... failure of every organ in the body, 2 heart attacks, a stroke, sepsis, and all that fun stuff .. first thing I did when I got out was get some more!

Of course thats what I consider a true OD .. I have passed out and be unrousable many times, but woke on my own ...
 
Despite my IV heroin use I have never OD'ed, generally because I don't go for the 'nod' and I tend to prefer lower doses when it comes to opiates. Still, I consider myself very lucky and I have narcan on hand whenever I use.

Have never ODed in an unconsious sense, but have spent a couple nights pacing the kitchen in fear of the big sleep.

Yep, same way.

When I ate my first fentanyl patch I sorta overated it and paced around the house just to keep my heartrate up and to be safe.
 
Just a very curious question here...How many of you people are similar to the people in Trainspotting with ur Heroin useage? Just wondering....
 
I'm not a heroin user, but I came very close to ODing on OxyContin one night. My boyfriend and I had gotten 15 40mg pills from a guy that he knew, and we sold/gave away only maybe 5 of them. I don't remember how many or how much I did, but the next morning we only had 1 pill left. I don't remember that night at all, but everyone said they had to keep a pretty close eye on me to make sure I wasn't ODing. They said I just passed out, and they weren't able to wake me for the whole night.

OD'ed 1 time on heroin (IV) - underestimated the potency and stopped breathing. did not combine with any other drugs

OD'ed 1 time on Oxycontin 40mg - second time trying (first time 20mg) and stopped breathing. smoked pot that evening, no other drugs.

Yep, exactly the same. I can see several positive things about this approach.

1. Lower risk of OD
2. Lower dose = less heroin used = more heroin for you :D
3. Tolerance, when I started shooting larger doses, my tolerance shot up MUCH faster then when I was using my standard dose.
4. More functional, which is great on opiates and people don't notice as much.

Only been IVing Heroin for around 2 months, no OD's yet. When getting a new bag, I mix a slightly smaller dose, and shoot half, wait and feel the effects, then finish it off. This might not be accurate, but I can usually tell the strength.
 
18-20 od's means you were being extremely irresponsible. After 1 or 2 you should have stopped and evaluated what the hell was wrong with you.

Is that statement directed at me? This thread is nearly a year old. You obviously haven't been in the depths of hardcore drug addiction. Thats what was wrong with me.Irresponsibility has nothing to do with it. You live for the drug, it feeds off you. There is a risk involved, like with other drugs. Gear fluctuates, you have too many downers in your system and you can die. I know, i'm lucky to be walking around after almost 20 chances while there are users out there who don't get one. In a 6 year addiction from 1-3 hits a day. One hit a day is 2190 hits over that period. 20 times I've OD'd.I don't think that the odds are that bad. Im by no means trying to justify my usage or say that its harmless. I just accept thats theres a chance of OD just as there is experiencing negative symptoms with other substances.
