Hi I need some advice. My husband gets severe anxiety paranoia attacks when we recreationally do coke. Sometimes he is fine and sometimes he gets so anxious and ocd. Like right now for example. What can I do now while he is still buzzing from.it to reduce or eradicate his anxiety and paranoia?
 
If he's still actively taking it and isn't coming down, you could give a very small dose of a benzo. General rule of thumb is to save it for the crash(maybe he's just experiencing the crash when he's getting that way?) but taking like .25xanax wouldn't kill him if he isn't also drinking. Just don't take more than that, and if you can take even less than that with good results that may be the better answer. Some of what you're seeing may just be part of taking coke, that's why I used to speedball, not that I condone even trying that. If you can't get benzo, try a small dose of opiate to calm the nerves. 5-10mg oxy might work just to calm him. Take anymore than that, and you're entering 'speedball' territory for someone with no tolerance.

Cocaine is a DARI; insofar as I know.
I suggested this to a p-doc before scripting me Ritalin or Methylphenidate.
J3MOd-h3NOW-X3S could be correct here, but I believe after 5 coke sessions and many an hour taking, or trying to take Ritalin; it isn't for some people.
The basics I suggested was you need DA (dopeamine) to reuptake DA. Having taken both these substances; it felt like coming down from 10 cups of coffee with none of the benefits.
Just feels jittery, uncomfortable and unable to sleep. It perhaps bypasses the whole brain barrier, and ends with cortisol; the stress hormone.
Maybe there's a preload that could overcome this pre use, tbh I've tried to no avail.
If your still in the same situation now, benzodiazepines if it's an option. Smoking pot could make it worse for paranoia. Try to just be aware of his situation; and if it gets worse a beta blocker to temper heart rate.
It will wear off, but just keep vigilance.

If he does it sometimes and is okay, it could be something to do with impurities.

Stimulants of any kind have the potential to give anxiety.
Perhaps a break from doing coke? I'm not sure how often you guys use but if it is regularly that might be the issue
 
We live in south africa. I think all our coke is below par. Our main dealers are african nigerians and they pretty much rule the trade.
 
Do you have access to benzodiazapenes? IMO every stim user should have benzos around when things start getting out of hand (psychosis, paranoia, insomnia, anxiety). I'm not sure how strict Africas laws are but if you don't have access to benzos look into etizolam. It's a legal benzo analog that you can purchase online and has basically the same effects as other benzos.
 
Take Xanax 2 mg I also get like this on uppers to a degree. One of my fav drug combos is Xanax and amp/ coke the benzo seems to take all of the negitive side affects of uppers and makes my high at least way more comfortable and euphoric
 
Isn't it really easy to get benzos in South Africa? Go get some valium or klonopin or xanax or ativan By the way you guys can do a simple acetone wash of the coke. If done properly you will get a much cleaner product in the end. Take caution however, if your stuff is really crap the majority of the product might disappear as it may all be just cuts.

I'd take a break from the coke...if it's not even that pure, I don't even see the big deal with taking a break from it. I mean, seriously, it'd be much more surprising if he didn't get paranoia and anxiety from doing coke...or alternatively, if you're going to do it regardless, you should at least do some basic tests and starting with low doses try to find out where exactly his threshold for becoming anxious over coke is...stick to less than .2 grams at first, and you should be able to find out after experimenting for a day or two...
 
From reading the forum a bit more can I just add.
My suggestion of using a beta blocker was totally incorrect with regards to cocaine.

"using beta-blockers with cocaine is not recommended, and can be rather bad. Lengthy medical reason, bottom line is it makes a bad situation worse.
Using nitrates (ie nitroglycerin) would be safer to lower a high bp secondary to cocaine use, and is the recommended treatment."

"morphonorconic beta blockers are contraindicated with cocaine because of dangerous epinephrine related effects, not because of the speed-ball effect."
