I’m only 21 but i’m scared i’ve caused some serious issues in my cardiovascular system. I basically snorted adderall and focalin on and off while combining them with several joints a day over the course of a year. Also lots of energy drinks, nicotine, and phenibut. I’m almost 4 weeks clean and feeling mostly good, but i get a strange pins and needles feeling in my left hand- sometimes my legs too. Sometimes my chest feels heavy too. Has anyone experienced this? will it ever go away? I’m really freaking myself out thinking i’ve got heart disease or something. Any insight is welcome- i do plan on seeing a doctor soon.
 
If I had to bet I would bet that you are having some sort of panic attack and that you are going to live :)
"strange pins and needles feeling" can be result of many things. Like sitting and holding your phone for a long time. I had similar panicky thoughts during my life. Once I even went to ER day after doing amphetamines "because my heart was pounding". Doctor told me that I had strong heart with slow and regular heart beat :ROFLMAO:
Nobody can, or should try to, diagnose you online. It is a good thong that you are going to see a doctor, as you seem very concerned. You will have a peace of mind once you see a doctor, but don't beat yourself too much in the meantime.

Congrats for stoping stimulants!

Thanks man!! Youre probably right but some days i would pop like 3 vyvanses or take 100mg if adderall at once- That’s the cause for concern. So stupid, I know, but for some reason i NEEDED the constant euphoria no matter the dosage
 
go to the Doctor to get those things checked, you're quite young to be suffering from those kinda symptoms. Otherwise you could try getting some Doxium or/and Daflon. check those meds out they're for circulation. I used to get the pins and needles from stimulant IV use. I take doxium every once in a while and it's a godsend.

Will do. Just got some off amazon. Hopefully this is temporary and will serve as a reminder for me to not touch certain substances again.
 
Of course you feel your chest - did you ever hear of a Talkum-lung? That's why tablets are there to swallow and not to put it into your lungs, where they can cause severe damage!

I have never IV’d anything, so I hope the damage isn’t too extensive

Oh Man, your Nick seems to fit you (no offense). we talk about snorting your pills.

Talkum is a clay mineral, a powder that is given to the tabs. What a lung is you know? So if you constantly snort something part of it might stay in your lung and after a while you will feel that breathing is harder and so on. Yes, because that Talkum and all the other substances that are in a snorted pill you have in your lung! That can cause a heavy pneumonia, so that's why i always tell people "dont snort your pills".

Look at the description of this med and see whats inside.

Your head's in the right space dude, I don't think you're a big idiot. It's good that you are asking and looking into these things. Another natural remedy for circulation is garlic, you can buy extract pills or just eat the cloves.

Yeah there’s definitely talc and all sorts of filler crap in those. I should’ve known better. Is this a death sentence for me?

Some people crush and snort pille like eg. Ritalin or Oxycodon daily, for months or years ... then things sum up but from once you won't die :) take it as a remainder, yeah but don't worry too much now, you should be fine 🍀

Thank you. It’s been a wake up call for sure.

Gonna definitely get checked out, but my mind feels a bit eased for now.

For a guy your age these symptoms are unusual and need investigating. They sound like neurological symptoms that can signal or mimic early onset MS or Parkinson's. Some of these symptoms may affect your cardiovascular system.

Getting checked out and being honest with a doctor you're comfortable with, is the smart & life saving thing to do. This is about harm reduction, not judging.
