Cocaine Why does Cocaine make me feel like a zombie?

[Akim]

So , I have been experimenting with Coke quite a lot in the past 6 months. Probably more than 10 sessions so far. And it doesnt seem to affect me like it should.

First 2-3 lines feel pretty good especially if I am drinking alcohol at the same time. But then at line 5-6 , it gets pretty weird. Like my vision becomes hazy and my eyes are very focused at certain point , basicly I am staring like a crazy person. It gets pretty hard to try to follow anime etc. But I dont feel very energetic nor confident. Actually I think its the opposite ,because I start thinking if my neighbours can hear what I am doing or if my music is too loud etc. So mild paranoia probably too.

Only one time I have done it with another person and she noticed it too and was quite worried about it actually. I do get all the physical effects like increased hearth rate , temperature, sweating etc. But theres no party mood feeling. I do get more talkative , but that could also be the alcohol affecting.

Also I dont think its a quality issue as I´ve had Coke from 5 different sources. I think the recent batch is the purest cause I dont need to take it that much to feel the effects. Plus other users have said its good yayo too.

I still like doing it though. Maybe its all the chopping and snorting I like more than Coke itself. Dunno and I havent done other stimulants in my life. Well MDMA I have done and I do get more happy feelings from it. Still I prefer doing Coke. 8( Weird. On Coke I just feel like doing more lines and more lines and drinking more.

It kinda does feel like a greedy drug.

Just for the record I am not under any medication nor do I have any mental or physical conditions. (that I am aware of) So I have no idea what causes this.

Anyone?

Believe it or not, that's a pretty common reaction to coke. I want to do more cocaine when I'm doing cocaine...Along with drinking.

For HR purposes, mixing ethyl alcohol (drinking alcohol) with cocaine is a dangerous practice, as the mixture of these two drugs in your body creates a new drug called cocaethylene which is much more cardiotoxic than cocaine.

Well, the best answer here would be, stop after your 3rd or 4th line...

Of course, we all know how difficult that is

The reason the cocaine feels better after drinking alcohol is because it creates a whole nother chemical in your body that produces an even stronger and longer lasting euphoria. Cocaethlyene or something along the lines of that is what it's called. It is also much more dangerous to your heart...

Thanks for replies guys. Yeah I have read about cocaethylene.

Well, perhaps you should stop before that occurs.

Although this is simply speculation (so don't take it under consideration), perhaps this occurs because of the excessive monoamines (specifically 5-Ht) in the synapses, as SSRI's can do this do. Cocaine being an unselective triple reputable inhibitor, well you get my point.

Well, methylphenidate, a stimulate calms down ADD patients.....
prehaps the stronger effects of cocaine would result in stronger calming effects in individuals with ADD/ADHD?

Are you implying I may have ADHD? I didnt do badly in school , but I definetly wasnt top class either. Especially in mathemathic subjects I have always had great difficulties.

ADHD seems kinda BS diagnosis anyway as it seems to be just one way for the big pharma to sell more drugs.

It's weird though i find that drinking severely dampens the effects of other stimulants such as methamphetamine, MDMA, or MDPV....interesting it makes coke feel better....

I don't find cocaine to be nearly as good for helping concentration as say dextroamphetamine. Ive never taken methylphenidate so i can't comment on how that compares to coke. But all coke generally does for me is make me want more coke. Granted i usually smoke rock or worse by miles shoot it which is far more compulsive then snorting it. I get some weird effects from coke such as everything coming into crystal clear focus after a hit of crack or after doing a big shot but it doesn't make me focus more like dextroamphetamine does.

Coke is good for those first few lines, after that everything DULLS out....then you want more...and the more you do, stuff just gets more dull. Things that normally wouldn't make you interested are interesting you, and you forget that its 5am and you will feel like shit in t minus 2 hours (if you dont already) I haven't experienced truly euphoric coke, and even stuff off the 'brick' has already been stomped on, real stuff is scarce. I dont think actual cocaine makes people zombiefied, its whats in the coke...Either way I like opiates better.

Wanting to do more lines on coke is totally normal. So is wanting to drink more alcohol on coke. Your chasing the effects of dopamine reuptake inhibition (DARI) basically, and the alcohol is adding to the effect of the coke aswell via the production of cocaethylene.

Try your best not to drink alcohol when on cocaine, try to use both drugs on different days. Your heart valves will like you for this, I've seen many people go very wrong from combining these two in excess. Usual symptoms of combining these two too much is extreme peripheral vasoconstirction and, in extreme occurances, seizures.
