JWH-18 Overdose > Psychosis !!

[wickedplaya]

It happend about 2 months ago, when i decided to test a "skunk" tea.
(skunk contains about 3% jwh-18 as i found out later). So i put about 0,6g skunk in a cup (approx. 18 mg JWH),
added some oil and filled it up with hot water. After 5 minutes i was drinking the whole thing.

About an hour later i got really high, it was a nice relaxing buzz. 3 hours later i went to bed, about 12 pm.

At 3 pm i was waking up immediately. I was totally awake, my heart was pounding as crazy as it would explode in a minute.
I felt a preassure in my forehead, i had extreme sweatings combined with nausea and extreme anxiety causing panic attacks.
I had very wooly thoughts shooting through my head. I thought im going to die, every thought was very negative and depressing.
I always tried to put myself together and managed to reduce the panickiness,
but then a new huge "wave" came over me and f****d my brain.

To come down i drunk a beer, and it helped. After 3 hours i was able to lean back and find some sleep.
Next day i woke up i was so happy to have a clear head although my body felt very broken.

After 3 days it happend again, i woke up in the morning and i was shaking. I was really nervous because of nothing.
this feeling was lasting for the whole day. Because of the panickiness my mind was rushing,
it made me insane. Additionally i had a slight nausea for the whole day.

So i decided to drink no more coffee etc, but it didnt help. Next day the same and so on.
I felt like im not myself, and sometimes the anxiety reappeared, which is the worst thing about all this.
I woke up regularly in the middle of the night, my mind rushing, not able to sleep again, that also extremely sucked.
So i started to take some light calmers in the evening. After three weeks the nervousness reduced and the nausea now only appeared in mornings and evenings.

I recognized that i got very nervous in situations that didnt do anything to me normally.
Like if my sensibility raised and im getting nervous very quickly in allday situations.
Its like a wave is running over me, with sweatings, heat appearing...


Today is approx. 2 months after this fucking tea, the nausea reduced,
but im still getting nervous because of nothing, im not feeling like myself sometimes, considering my mind.
Today i also had a panic attac again, with extreme anxiety, just out of nothing?!

When does this shit end?! Im getting crazy!!!

Anyone here experienced the same, or with other drugs?
Is there a way to get over this?
Is this a neural damage, which needs time to heal, or are there still some poisonous substances in my body?

Would be really nice if someone helps me with this!! This is fucking me up!

jwh i believe has not been highly studied and some side effects still unknown. being that it is not an illegal substance you might try at least talking to your doctor about what happened.

though my guess is they probably wont have any good info.

 

[djfriendly]

18mg is a shitload of jwh-018.

 

[Coolio]

Orally, 18mg isn't a shitload. Obviously too much for the OP, but not too much for everyone. So he didn't do anything particularly reckless or stupid here. It was a reasonable expectation that a tea of 0.6g of Spice-alike would be a tolerable dosage.

JWH-018 is lipid soluble so it and its metabolites will stick around for a few days probably. There's nothing left in you from your tea by now though.

It also doesn't sound like neural damage at all.

It sounds like post-traumatic stress, to me, and will likely heal with time. If you can, go to a doctor and tell them about it and see what they think. You might get a prescription for Xanax for a few months if the panic attacks and anxiety are too much and aren't going away fast enough.

wtf.. skunk is weed dude...lol it gets u high

 

[Coolio]

wtf.. skunk is weed dude...lol it gets u high

He's talking about Skunk with a capital S, the kind that comes in a little foil packet and is laced with synthetic cannabinoids.

 

[phatass]

ohk.. like that "spice" stuff?.. i did some JWH-018 rolled in a spliff with some friends and had a wicked time... like the first time i'd smoked...

Yeah, I haven't seen it or tried it or anything, but the Skunk the OP is talking about is either another variety of the same basic stuff as Spice, or it's a competitor's knockoff version.

 

[wickedplaya]

Ok, thanks for all the answers first.

I was at the doctors, and he took some bloodsamples - everything is fine so far!
Nothing conspicuous there, thyroids, kidney and liver are ok!

It sounds like post-traumatic stress, to me, and will likely heal with time

I really hope so. Fortunately things are already getting better...slowly..



i've been smoking this stuff before and had no problems,
i also tried a tea with approx. 9mg jwh , was no problem, just a slight high.
smoking is much more intense...

But i never will touch this stuff again!!
this is the most frightenig shit ive ever done! all other drugs seem to be plaything compared to this bitch.

 

[Inso]

Sounds like textbook anxiety and panic attacks, very much doubt there's anything wrong with you. I know from experience how hard is to convince oneself of that fact when feeling that way though...

 

[cegli]

I experienced almost the exact same thing you have here. It lasted about five months for me. I still don't feel 100%, but way way better. JWH-018 seems to have a small chance of messing up your life for about half a year :-(. I'm curious about the health effects of this as more people try it. Hope you're feeling better!

 

[wickedplaya]

Yeah, same for me. Approx. 5 months have passed now and im feeleing better.

But there is still some sickness in the evenigs and mornigs sometimes, sometimes anxious and strange bodyfeeling, specially in the head...

and for the last 2 weeks different music tracks and melodies were rushing through my mind??
first only in the mornigs, then spread over whole day? happens when walking, in work...
just like little pieces of differet songs, one for a few secons, then another...

very strange?

when watching tv its good.. - silence


But compared to how it was before, this is pretty comfortable !!

 

[skoat]

Sounds horrible guys. I can't believe the effects still linger at 5 months, thats not cool at all.

After reading this thread I suppose I'll think twice before going crazy on the JWH-18. What a bummer it couldn't be perfect...

 

[DrFishNips]

Whats JWH?

 

[Softball]

I had a similarly nasty reaction (check the trip reports section) to only 5mg of that chem. It's been 3 days and I haven't had any repeat reaction so far.

Good luck to you man.

 

[Artificial Emotion]

According to the guy who discovered the substance, it is unlikely to be toxic. So I think it's safe to say there's a good chance you're all right physically.

 

[cegli]

Yeah, same for me. Approx. 5 months have passed now and im feeleing better.

I feel exactly the same way (without the music thing). Usually in the night, but not too much anymore. It was always much better when watching TV or playing video games. Now I feel pretty good (not 100%, but pretty good), so I don't have to worry about that anymore.

Yep! Good luck in your recovery.

That has happened to me when im super stoned on weed. I remeber one time I smoked a quarter sack and 2 grams of hash in amsterdam all by myself and I was lieing in bed trying to sleep. I would close my eyes and I would have 1000s of painting flash before my eyes in the period of 5 seconds. Painting I had never seen before. And I could recreate like 30 of them. Amazing that the brain can do that, huh.

I ordered JWH 18 over the net. I took about 1/4 of a rice grain. Felt nicely stoned in the evening but woke up the next day feeling nausea and exremely nervous the next day. Nausea continued the next day and I had to take the day off from work. I got extremely worried and contacted the doctor and told her I took JWH 18. She told me not to worry and just try and eat and drink fluids. (Don't think she really knew what it was) Nervousness continued and also strange bodily feelings. I then contacted a Professor Tony Moffat who is a pharmaceutical prof and an expert of synthetic cannabanoids. He taught at Cambridge. This is part of his answer to me:

"The big problem is that you have no idea what you took and therefore we can only guess at the effects that it had on you. Cannabinoids like JWH 18 would not expect to produce nausea. Quite the reverse they would prevent it and cause an increase in appetite.The good news is that it should be out of the body in a week."

It has been 19 days since I have taken JWH 18 and its in the middle of the night and I can't sleep. Extreme nervousness and bodily feeling. Thses feelings come and go and differ in intensity. There are some moments during the day that I actually feel completely normal and I am able to work in a busy office enviroment. From Prog Moffat's answer and I can only imagine what I actually took. This was sold to me over the internet as JWH 18 but I think it must have been cut with something else as there is definately something still lingering in my body. I hope that I will feel better after 5 months but has made my peace if I have to live with this for longer. Please be careful what you buyu over the internet as you will never know what it really is. Good luck to everyone else that has experience the same effects. This too will pass.
