Hello!
I found some similar threads on here already but none of them sounded quite like what is happening to me. I really want to know if I should go to the hospital, if serious/permanent damage has occurred, or if this is a minor issue that will resolve itself.
I injected a dose of bupropion (which I know is terrible on your veins and all around a bad idea, but I did it anyways; please don't just give me responses telling me not to do that, because I already did it and don't plan on doing it again.) into a vein in my wrist. I registered and blood definitely came into the rig, but upon plunging there was a sharp pain where did the injection, I thought it was just the burn of the bupropion but it was much more severe. I got the hit and felt a rush, but immediately my wrist began to turn red and go numb (bupropion has mild numbing effects). I knew something was wrong right away, and within 2 minutes of the injection some bumps began to rise just below the site. These bumps looked like blisters almost, or a rash, just slightly raised skin, but I could almost watch it expand, I also could feel a tingling where these blisters were forming, almost as if I could feel them growing. Within 10 minutes it was apparently noticeable and the numbing had gone away to be replaced by moderate pain. I have been running my hand under hot water and wrapping it in a washcloth and after about 40 minutes of doing this there seemed to be a slight improvement. It now has been about an hour and a half and the pain is still there along with the blister-like marks, additionally there seems to be a lack of circulation as the tips of my fingers are going cold very easily.
please help with any advice if anything similar has ever happened and what to do
