After using cocaine for awhile I recently found out shits actually bad for your heart I mean even that I know this now im kinda scared of using it but prolly wont stop either way just curious if theirs anyway too reduce the chance of the risk (I use only once per month and when I do its half a g to 1g)
 
One word....clonidine. For me it works like acharm. Likely any BP med could help. I find clonidine is essential when on a binge. I find it works better for this than for opiate w/d. Good luck and be careful
 
When I looked up cocaine awhile back just said it wasn't good for your nose but i dont really give a f about that so I started heart thing doesn't really bother me either just better too be safe if possible

Don't just use any BP medication. If I recall correctly, beta blockers are not to be used with cocaine.

you deplete yourself of monoamines like dopamine and serotonin and catecholamines like norepinephrine.
I've heard taking otc precursors to these like l-tyrosine (for dopamine), phenylalanine (for norepinephrine) and tryptophan (for serotonin) can be beneficial in helping you replenish what you've depleted.

Food for thought...
 
Beta blockers shouldn't be used with amphetamines and coke I believe, because they can actually cause decrease A2 adrenergic stimulation.
 
Dont over do your doses when you do use once a month. I was doing the same thing a few months back using sporadically after a long break. WHen I would really over do the coke I would like fuck the blood circulation up in my legs or something. My heart must have not been able to pump hard enough to circulate the blood... I dunno exactly, but the next day I would have the sorest muscles ever. I felt like i played 2 football games after sitting on the couch for a year. Turns out its a side effect, ill be it not so common.

During the years iv ebeen speedballing i have had really sore legs after a binge a few times but never put 2 and 2 together. Now I realize that if I keep my use moderate like i dont go for a bell ringer every time keep my use to maybe a 6 hour period rather than a 24 hour period of shot after shot, i get better results.

coke is BAD for your heart. it doesnt matter if you sniff it smoke it or shoto it, you are still doing damage. I think shoting it probably does the most... If you do some research you can find a study about the condition of the heart of middle aged coke users being that of a 70 year old. Dont quote me on those exact numbers...

Of course using any drug once a month is moderation in my opinion. A gram of coke can be a lot though if its very pure. The vials of coke i get from the delivery in nyc I get 10 speedballs out of which are legit ringers, and it never clocks in at a whole g.
 
Cocaine, besides increasing blood pressure, also interferes with electrical conduction in the heart at high doses. Moderation is key. If you use cocaine infrequently it will minimize the opportunity for trouble.
 
I think once a month at .5 - 1g is isn't too bad. Maybe if you hit it all at once or already have health problems it would be. Space it out some perhaps. Eat/drink healthy. I think regular check-ups with a doc can do a lot for peace of mind.

I took my blood pressure after a binge recently and it was like in the 150s/80s and I didn't really go all hard. It's usually ~120/7*. Yikes!
