What the hell happened here?

I gather that you heat your mix? some do some don't but if you don't and use tap water then I've had similar experiences in the past until I figured it was the tap water doing it. Its like a really cold feeling and your teeth start chattering out of control and sometimes I had to sit in front of a heater but could never get warm. It usually went away in a few hours.
 
Cotton fever was my first guess as well, but some things aren't exactly consistent with a typical cotton fever case.


IME, you'd notice cotton fever within 15 or so minutes. Typically within 5. You'd be shaking, have a noticeable rise in body temperature, a headache, etc. And you wouldn't finding sleeping easy. I mean, it could be an atypical case, but then again it could also be some sort of panic attack.
 
i've stopped using methamphetamine, and my anxiety level went down completely. i see such a connection with amps and panic attacks. prolly not while on it. but the days afterwards. doesn't anybody else see this connection?
 
Shit, I noticed cotton fever in like 9 seconds. It was like shooting up a flu instead of a shot of heroin. (or oxy or coke, as it were)
 
Your negative experience was brought on by the drugs and your anxiety made the experience much worse. You may have ended up having a panic attack, but it sounds like you started off getting the chills brought on by drugs and you freaked out because of it. You probably should avoid dexedrine. I've sworn off amphetamines for good and my life is better because of it.
Messing with dopamine levels (which happens directly when taking an amphetamine and indirectly when taking an opiate) can cause your body temperature to either raise or drop. After dosing on any opiate I normally wake up in the middle of the night sweating like crazy. I've also had many of these episodes of the chills, but normally I don't freak out. I try to relax my body and I don't feel like I'm going to die or anything, I just wrap a blanket around myself and warm up and then I'm fine. Your warm bath worked.
OD will never change
 
I've had panic attacks on opiates before so this combined with the amphetamines (far more common for panic attacks) and with the fact you have been using benzos however ran out, makes me very inclined to say it was some form of a panic attack.

I know you have read about the risks of injecting pills but I don't think it hurts to hammer it home some more. So are you at all concerned what would happen if you say missed both those shots, does the thought of having a limb removed or permanently damaged scare you?

"filtered through cottons" This is not good enough, you need a proper micron filter if you are injecting pills, its not like heroin where it is generally water soluble.

sounds like a dirty shot or as some people say cotton fever. this has happened to me a few times..anywhere from five to thirty mins after a shot i start sweating/shivering then start shaking prety bad. if i was prone to anxiety this would probably provoke some sortof panic attack which would probably make it worse. thankfully it usually subsides on its own after a few hours
 
it sounds exactly like what happened to me over an entire weekend, once. which was later attributed to cotton fever. although i was in denial considering how long it took to set in. and the fact that it really didn't last long at all.

on average it takes about 45 minutes. followed by intense, bone shattering tremors, chills, and chest pains. and it only lasted about an hour. but it does knock you the fuck out. when it's happened to me, i've slept like a baby every time. although i woke up covered in sweat.

i'd still rather deal with that than withdrawals.
 
ya dude pretty sure about the drugs sex would probobly not do it and the reason is probobly because youve been mixing the pills/ the reason i say that is because i need a binkie wen i pop ecstacy/ and the ecstacy i get is cut with coke and meth and shit/ i make sure of that so it fucks me up way more/ anyways when i take a mollie(pure MDMA) i don't need a binkie because my teeth don't shake/ so it was probobly you mixing the pills
 
^ Your ecstasy is not cut with cocaine. Read up in Ecstasy Discussion about some of the myths around the drug; that's one of them.

I say Sonic is on the mark.
 
1. if using cotton from a q tip and the little cotton balls from a needle exchange place, is there any way of getting cotton fever?

2. can i get micron filters in pharmacies?
 
I read one of your blogs about you shooting and after having sex your teeth were chattering and you were shaking. You had a over dose.
I have had many overdoses.. it didnt seem much to over dose from but you did it.
As for your feeling of reality.. seeming that nothing is real.
That is psychosis not sure how you spell it but i have had it my whole life its not a panic attack. A panic attack is much worse.. feeling nothing is real can be a side affect from drugs or you just plain have psychosis.. let me ask you do you see things?
