Nearly deathly overdose of Cocaine IV
Post Body

I feel the need to share this experience to somehow overcome the traumatic process I went through and above all to discourage all coke users (IV).

I dissolved 2g of cocaine in only 5ml of water, yes, extremely stupid. But since I didn't want to be constantly refilling the syringe with small doses of coke, it seemed like a good idea to fully load the syringe and take small shots.

What happened was that I got a little silly, and I injected myself with 2ml of this solution, so I ended up shooting about 800mg.

What I remember is that after injecting myself I immediately felt like I had no air and I lost consciousness. When I regained consciousness I was on the bathroom floor struggling to breathe, while I felt that other people were accompanying me in my fight. For some reason I felt like I was in a boat and I was rowing with several people. I was in a complete panic desperate for air, while telling the other people (who obviously didn't exist) to please row quickly or I would die. I started yelling at them and telling them to do it faster. Row faster!!!

At one point something told me "hey, relax, you're out of breath, just let yourself go"; But I screamed NOOOO!!! because I knew that if I let myself go I would die in that bathroom. I kept struggling to take in breaths, until I told myself "hey, stop yelling, you're wasting the little air you have"; So I tried to calm down and take deep breaths. The whole experience was absolutely traumatic, I have never felt so close to dying.

When I was able to regain consciousness and have a decent amount of air, I looked at myself in the mirror and I was blue and had blood in my mouth, this caused me a huge panic, because I thought I had had a heart attack (or Maybe an organ had burst). It turns out that the blood in my mouth was from falling when I lost consciousness.

I also remember having a headache and feeling dizzy. So the shortness of breath was real. I went to the emergency room and the doctor confirmed that I was indeed close to dying, my brain was not receiving oxygen.

DON'T BE LIKE ME, DON'T BE STUPID. NEVER-NEVER use intravenous cocaine, and if for some reason you have already started, load the syringe with 100mg or less. Don't fall into that game of loading the entire syringe (out of laziness) and making small shots, that is playing with fire

That's all folks. Sorry for my english
