Cocaine new to iv'ing coke. weird symptoms

[bfisher]

so ive been using coke/oxys for a few yrs now and have always snorted them, though recently i tried iv'ing.

i believe i did a bit too much and within 10seconds of the blast i first got a strong taste in my mouth, then the "bells" came on. ive heard people speak of the 'bells'/'ringing' in the ears that smoking coke or shooting it can produce but i never understood.

Is it normal or a sign of dosing too much ?

Does it really make a difference when it comes to how much water you use to disolve in the cooker ?
Also, does it really make a difference wether you untie the tourniquet before injection or untying afterwards ? if so why ?

 

[Tommyboy]

You should always untie before injecting. The reason for this is that you can blow out a vein if you IV with the tourniquet still on due to the added pressure you put on the vein.

As for the amount of water, as long as you use enough to accommodate the solubility of the substance in water then you are fine. I'm not sure what that number is for cocaine though, but most people seem to use 40 units of water for their shots.

 

[Venrak]

^From what I remember solubility is around 1g/mL.

 

[Zerrr]

If you get the bell ringer deal make sure you wait a while before your next shot and def don't try to keep reproducing that in the same sitting.

So many IV coke threads on here that will answer any question you have.

Did you have any other symptoms of an OD?

Ahhh bell ringers...shooting coke is by far one of the strongest dopamine rushes ive ever had next to a nice speedball. The taste in the mouth that numbs you out and starts to make your head ring is nutty. Coke was never really my thing even with dope, and even then it was like 7 to 3 dope to coke, but when id get really numb in my mouth and get a really strong bell ringer and hard stomach flip i knew it was too much. Be careful to how much you do, i imagine cardiac arrest isnt fun.

 

[Half-Time]

I went into a full seizure once.... which also isnt fun...last time I ever banged coke!

 

[neversickanymore]

This seems like you finally did enough.. the taste in you mouth was just from when the drug in you blood stream hitting your tongue.. some people can taste this other cant its a genetic thing.. and a split second after you tasted it you got hit by the rush did't you. That rush is so damn intense and i haven't iv coke in quite awhile but I shit you not when i read your post I got that weird warm sweet organic coke taste in my toung and thought about a bell ringer. I would try and stop shooting coke now. I hope this doesn't do to you what it did to me. I still think about Iv coke almost everyday

That reaction sounds like a typical coke shot to me. Ha. That's what one is looking for when shooting coke. That's the point.

Bold by me- QUOTE FOR TRUTH

Which really tells you all you need to know about the nature of IV coke.

Sorta like the whole point of IV'ing heroin (aside from economics/the initial rush) is to produce a state of spontaneous narcosis (i.e. spontaneous falling in an out of consciousness- or nodding as we know it)...which happens to be one of the first symptoms of an overdose.

The whole point is to cut it as close to the line as humanly possible and every time you don't die it only serves to encourage you to try to take yourself even closer to the edge of the cliff before you pull back.

And it does nothing for you personality. IV coke is up there with IV meth & alcohol for just creating absolute fucking havoc.

Not sure if one of my old IV coke "advice" threads is still around, but I will summarize some of the pertinent points that will both answer your questions, and hopefully, keep you alive and healthy if you decide to continue your research.

1. Premix all your IV coke solution that you plan to use in a session. You will find a good ratio that works for you somewhere between 3.5g coke / 5-10 ml. H20. If you mix it too weak, you have to push too much solution to get a ringer, too strong and the difference between a good ringer and a seizure can be as little as 10 units. DO NOT mix 1g. coke with 1ml. water; even though it may fully dissolve, pushing good coke at this concentration is asking for trouble.

2. Preload as many shots as you plan to use. You do not want to be loading syringes when your hands are shaking, your judgement impaired, and that really fat shot seems tempting.

3. Go easy on the first shot. If you use the concentrations referred to above, 30 - 50 units should be more than enough (this would be 150 - 250 mg. of coke at the higher concentration above). Register, release the tie, register, push half and count to ten. Not too intense? Push the rest.

If you do this a few times a year, or once in a blue moon, you might be lucky enough to not become addicted, and enjoy IV coke for a long, long time. If you already have addiction issues and think you are going to do this on a regular basis, stop now while you are ahead of the game.

Be safe, have fun.

Is it normal or a sign of dosing too much ? - I'd just say read & research more about this. iv'ing coke can also bring a tear out of the eye(s) I've seen this happen a few times.

Does it really make a difference when it comes to how much water you use to disolve in the cooker ? - yes, imho it does. I agree with 30 - 50 units

Also, does it really make a difference wether you untie the tourniquet before injection or untying afterwards ? if so why? - Yes. You could blow vein and releasing the tourniquet allows the blood to flood again, you have it pretty much 'tied off' so once you release it the blood flows and whatever has been injected flows, with the drug actually, it is the 'rush' of the blood & drug flowing after being tied off, which is what people like - that rush.

You will not blow a vein though you may blow the vein off of the needle and end up missing.. and the rush refers the the intense feeling you get when that much of a drug flies through the blood brain barrier all at one time and manipulates a massive amount of dopamine all at once which causes a huge powerful wave of sensation. That is the rush.

This is the reason cocaine and methamphetamine are so addictive.. they pass through the blood brain barrier so fast.. ridiculously fast. Any one who I'vs coke or meth may almost guarantee and addiction. In the mind dopamine releases are categorized and ranked in order of dopamine release. If you achieve a dopamine release like the OP states it is then often accompanied by a drive. some common drives that are natural are hunger: drive for food, thirst:drive for water, sex; sex drive or bring horny addiction the drive to do your doc. It is really important to understand the difference between physical dependence and and addiction as though they are related they aren't the same best at all. both cocaine and methamphetamine are significantly more addicting than herion.. but herion comes with the physical dependence that most people mistake for addiction while meth and coke have significantly less withdrawals but are non the less pushed by the amazingly strong compulsion to use. addiction can happen in one shot and although it is unfortunate I think that fisher you may experiences this right away. To demonstrate how powerful this concept is.. think back on your first orgasm.. yep couldn't forget it if you tried.

The Effects of Cocaine and Methamphetamine
For a number of reasons having to do with how cell walls are constructed, molecules that dissolve easily in the presence of fat can pass directly through the capillary walls in the blood-brain barrier. Among the molecules that can access the central nervous system in this way are cocaine and methamphetamine. Once inside the central nervous system, these drugs produce mind alteration and a variety of other effects by altering the normal levels of certain neurotransmitting chemicals—such as dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin—that support proper brain function by passing on required messages between millions of nervous system cells called neurons.

I first shot coke saying i would just try it.. and i never have met someone who experienced what the OP did and didn't find themselves in a pretty big hole. something to really think about.
