I took a lot of heroin last night, I'm not an addict but I did a lot and now my back is swollen and my urine is brown and my hands are numb, I was throwing up and couldn't walk earlier but it might be getting better. What should I do? I've been laying in bed all day should I wait it out, I'm not experienced with heroin, what should I do?
 
Ive never done heroin but in the past i have been addicted to morphine, dilaudid, fentanyl and oxy. I currently use morphine.

Heroin shouldnt do that. A pain in the back could indicate kidney problems. My advice would be to drink lots of water and cranberry juice and maybe see a doctor for a check up.

ChatGPT says its likely you have experienced some type of poisoning and are having a serious medical emergency and should get to the nearest emergency room right away... Neither ChatGPT nor I know exactly what you put into your body, but we both seem to have reached about the same conclusion.

Do NOT ignore this or wait for it to pass as you could potentially die. Go get medical help NOW! Worst case scenario if you do this is that you will have "over-reacted" and will end up fine either way, but from the sounds of it you have been poisoned in some way and are experiencing extremely alarming signs that your organs are not functioning properly which could result in death if left untreated.
 
I didna quick google search of “heroin swollen back dark urine”

@LoopyWorm seems to be onto something.

Heroin poisoning was the first thing that popped up.
 
I mean your post history seems like you may be a hypochondriac (worrying about alcohol withdrawal from 1 four loco per day) as an example, but if you didn't drink anything that would make your piss dark then maybe you did hurt your liver or kidneys. If it's not dark like a brown color and you aren't feeling real bad then you should probably just drink water for the next few days

True, this was real though. I couldn't stand up, I had to crawl around the house and when I was fucked up I just thought I was fucked up and kept falling from being fucked up, but later my (what I'm assuming my kidney area), was (is) swollen. I'm still in a lot of pain today, and looking back I wasn't tripping or anything my body was just giving out. I had one brown piss though, I been spending the day in bed and feeling a bit better I can walk now, and my piss is back to clear, i bought some cranberry juice anyway
 
Go see a doctor. Brown urine is never a good thing. Could be liver failure, rhabdomyolysis, blood.. don’t procrastinate..
Right. Often times people are afraid to do so due to the label that may be placed on a person in the system resulting in poorer medical care in the future including not being able to get necessary medicines for example, but in cases like this you are absolutely right in your assessment and recommendation.
