I am wondering if it is feasible for doing what was supposedly a line of cocaine, for the FIRST and ONLY time (while drunk) to cause anhedonia or emotional blunting for 6 months?

Anyone else experience something similar?

I have abstained from all drugs since, except took Klonopin to sleep for about 2 weeks. I drink occasionally.

Is there still room for recovery?
I haven't craved coke or really anything for that matter (sex, food or even water), I'm not depressed, I can't even feel sadness anymore really.

I'll give more of a back story (kinda long) just want to ask the basics.

Helpful and thoughtful responses will be GREATLY appreciated!
 
I think that it sounds like you have something larger going on emotionally and this just stuck out as something that you recently did that was different; thus, you naturally assumed it might be related. Rather than making the assumption that it was cocaine induced it may be more helpful to look at what else is happening (or not happening) in your life that might be causing this.
 
Maybe you got so high off that line that nothing else compared to it, so you feel emotionally blunted
 
Brain damage. I'm not saying you've got it but people can get it from taking drugs.
Some people can take a whole bunch of different drugs there whole life and it not do too much damage to them, where as some others can take a substance once and it can completely fuck them up.

I disagree. If cocaine was the only active substance in what he snorted, it's impossible to get any significant brain damage from one dose of cocaine. It's probably unrelated.
 
I wasn't saying that the one line he sniffed has gave him brain damage 100%! I was trying to make a point that one person could be realy affected by a small dose of something and it not affect someone else.
I know of a girl that smoked weed fell unconscious got brain damage and now she's blind!
Watching a doctors program once, the doctor clearly stated that cocaine kills brain cells, therefor giving you brain damage.
 
highly doubt it dude. unless you drank mercury or cyanide no little amount of drug would effect you for six months like that

lolno, cocaine's pharmacological profile has no room for neurotoxicity, DRI's are not neurotoxic. However, IF there were to be "brain damage" than it wasn't cocaine, even known "neurotoxic" street drugs like methamphetamine can't do that in a single dose.

Also, brain damage is a incorrect term when referring to drug abuse, slamming your head into something causing traumatic head injuries during a car crash is brain damage.
 
I think this is more of a psychological issue rather than a psychiatric issue if you get me.
 
All I know is I do a gram a day with no side effects like that, but everyone's different I guess but I can't imagine
 
I'm truly sorry for your experience. Yet I would like to add that when one procures a powder from the street there's no telling what could be in it; people die every day from injecting or snorting glass, with people around them not wanting to call the cops lest they become imprisoned; it's a sad state. Somewhat recently there was found to be a chemotherapy drug which a lot of cocaine was cut with; I'm sure some of it is still out there. Your experience sounds more like something that would deplete serotonergic vesicles (MDA, MDMA, MDEA, etc.). But if the only active ingredient was cocaine i would appear that you're especially susceptible to depression and may experience it naturally upon growing older. I think it would be best to stay away from it.

That sounds ridiculously uneconomical, like people who cut marijuana with "PCP". Sounds like BS but ironic.
