Cocaine IV Coke phycosis

[nodrover1]

After years and years of being on the wagon, my friend decided to dabble again. As we all know, dabbling doesn’t really work out the way you want.

The first few times my friend used IV cocaine it was like they remembered it—crazy rush, taste, on a normal shot. A bigger shot would make them want to dial 911.

Historically my friend had always been fine if they took one day to use and then one day to recover. Anything past the one-day mark would start to bring on psychosis, all the typical paranoia and negative symptoms associated with it. They did take it a day too far and got the above-mentioned symptoms and stopped for a few months again. But then they noticed it no longer took a full day of usage to transition into psychosis land.

Now, even after months of abstinence, after the first regular shot—before they can even cap the pin—the paranoia kicks in. Either the paranoia is so intense that they don’t notice the rush, or the rush may not even be there entirely. The whole experience is very intense like you would expect, but in a very negative way. And when it wears off, it almost feels like the craving for more is even stronger, which is crazy considering how negative the effects are.

The only place my friend can cop from is a trap house that’s open 24/7. They’re not sure if the inventory remains constant, if it changes based on who’s working, or if they change it when they run out—who knows.

Anyone else experience something similar?

Not tried IV but tried every other ROA. I got to a point semi recently where even though I'm not shooting it if I get a big enough dose it doesn't matter how much I've done, how long I've taken a break, how healthy I am, etc. I will immediately go into a pretty consistent set of delusions and extreme paranoia where I do not even notice the pleasure of the rush. I am rushing, sure, but it is just pure terror and at its worst insanity, like starting to lose control of my thoughts and hallucinating very strongly and acting very very peculiar. And the most evil part is the craving to come back after such a negative experience, it's like amnesia. When I finally come down an hour or so later, I am totally ready to do an even bigger dose, which spins me out even harder. I'm beginning to fear that you can break your brain with this type of usage but so far it's like an hour of torture then I'm ready for more. I have come very close to full on panicking, like I am about to just freak the fuck out and start losing my shit, hard to explain any further than that. Most of the time I'm not really hallucinating that strongly but I am just so fucking terrified that I'm about to get the vivid hallucinations and confusion I remember from my worst sessions. It's like PTSD or something. Crazy rush though

I swear I've had some of the craziest visuals in my heaviest sessions. Like full on objects morphing before my eyes and being unable to tell what an object even is, totally weird and made up animals making weird movements and transforming and making crazy noises, etc. Then there's the residual effects from heavy sessions where I'll hear music when there isn't any, voices talking garbled nonsense, shadows dancing around and forming new shapes. Something about the intensity brings me back but it is so fucking scary to be stuck in a state like that, I am always surprised to come down after I get some sleep.

Holy fuck. That’s literally exactly the same shit. Dude I wish it wasn’t like this…I would hope we can blame it on this new USA drug culture where stepping on shit until it’s nothing but cut.

I’ve almost thought about asking the trap house guy at the window if I could pay more for shit that’s not stepped on to see if that ,could be the culprit.

However, for all the reasons you and i listed above, it’s best for me to just stay away completely.

My reaction has gotten so bad that I could even call it the worst experience in the world. And the shit makes me want to repeat it.

Like what in the fuck

 

[danosaurous22]

Yup I would also agree it's the worst experience ever. It's a very fascinating thing to intentionally put yourself through the worst experience ever countless times (like thousands of times) in a year and still come out functional. It is some truly evil shit. But the habit remains stronger than ever. I'm honestly not sure if it's cuts doing this to me, I think it's just the way we're raping our dopamine regulation repeatedly over a long period of time. I've gotten to this state with the best shit I've ever had and with more mediocre shit, although some say its due to alkaloids that remained in the coke that could be removed with a cleaner production of it. I think it comes down to like brain chemistry like in schizophrenia and bipolar and those types of disorders-- they have to do with dopamine, and if I'm dosing for an entire day doing big doses every hour or so I'm not surprised to basically get into a schizophrenic state where I cannot make sense of reality and believe the craziest most terrifying shit and get close to a full breakdown. IDK though

fucked up thing is talking about this with you has me fixing for a big ass dose in a minute. too funny. I'm also grateful to have avoided many potentially catastrophic situations of being high in public like that. Just acting like a lunatic running around and just barely hanging on, could easily get arrested or worse. so many close calls

It's the most interesting part about the drug to me though. Never tried meth but what I've read here and I've read so many threads about it, it's like this but 10x worse and 10x more addicting. And lasting days at a time. I read a story about somebody getting a big shot of meth, and basically just being terrified and freaking out for like 6 hours straight. Then he was asking for another shot.

this thread is my favorite here I can almost imagine this state but it is still so much more than I've had

I had a brief love affair with Tina also, but in the psychosis regard, I think it’s totally different at least in my experience. Tina would always bring on psychosis for me after two or three days of no sleep. Seem to be as a direct result of the lack of sleep, not actually attributed to the drug itself.

With this white double powder, it’s 100% attributed to the substance itself, at least in my experience. I guess everybody is different, because if everybody was having the same reaction, I was I doubt it would be as popular as it is. Like I said it was crazy, crazy, intense, and it still is crazy, intense, but literally now before I can even wipe my arm the psychosis starts as no fun for me or anybody around me or my house and all the makeshift barricades I make for the different alphabet agencies coming to get me, or magically people decide to start tampering with my cameras at that exact moment every time(LOL GO FIGURE RIGHT!!!) lol doesn’t that sound so bad shit crazy, but I’m telling you as soon as that gets pushed, I literally KNOW someone is plotting on me, to break in. Dear god.

At least with Tina the whole time I was up I could fuck like a porn star. After a while I’d have to wear a cock ring and take viagra to stay hard. But I could do it.

With this shit, I couldn’t even get hard if someone put a gun in my head

I personally had a severe and persistent psychotic break at 33 years old from severe trauma in concert with heavy methamphetamine, mdma, LSD, and opioid abuse.

I have a long history of using various psychedelics, amphetamines, dissociatives, and opioids and never experienced a psychotic episode that didn’t abate with sleep until one day, at 33 years old, I did. I still struggle to accept that that is what happened but it’s hard to deny.

My point is that it’s fairly unusual for someone to have a first psychotic break at 33 years old; especially considering that the severe drug abuse of the 15 years preceding it never resulted in persistent psychosis. I’d see shadow people and get paranoid and whatnot but it always went away after I slept.

Then one day something very traumatic happened to me and I began a run of serious IV polydrug abuse per usual self medication protocol. Next thing I knew I was persistently having visual and auditory hallucinations. Like literally overnight went from being me with one voice in my head to a me with 10 other voices. I can remember me before the break but it’s hard to conceptualize a singular consciousness anymore. The hallucinations were very severe initially and now, 4 years later, I still hear voices daily but I’m not delusional or paranoid, or visually hallucinating. There was an initial shock period right after it started where I didn’t understand what was happening and thought the people I was seeing were objectively real; I was really sick. Fortunately that went away with education and the severity decreased exponentially. But it’s fucking destroyed my life and my social skills. I was a psychiatric social worker for close to a decade before this went down.

I guess I’m sharing to say it’s possible man. I never thought, with all the experience I had, that one day as an adult I’d become psychotic but it fucking happened. I believe it’s a result of the combination of the traumatic event and sleep deprivation fueled by drug abuse.

My best advice is stop abusing stimulants. Easier said than done but you really don’t want it to become persistent.
