Wake up calls/scary experiences with drugs

Melisandre121

I used to do Coke occasionally. One morning after doing it the night before I woke up and my heart was beating maybe 2-3 beats per second and I was drenched in sweat and nauseous. It was terrifying and my heart just wouldn't slow down for the longest time. I read afterwards that I had arrhythmia and could've gone into cardiac arrest had it not stopped. It was a wake up call for sure and I haven't gone near it since.

Anyone had any similar experiences?

A Battered Mars Bar

I took heroin once anally. 6 years later I woke up homeless and doing a lap dance for a Big Mac. Bad times. But I pulled myself together and now I'm the head of an international cooperation helping inner city kids stay out of school *Loud knocking*

Excuse me...

Hello? It's your senior advisor. Ya you see the whole keep kids out of school thing was wrong. It was keep them in school...in, just like Phil said at our initial meeting last year.

Phil? But we killed him? Remember after out last hit?

Ya but you see he's not dead. He's a zombie now.

Oh Christ

Actually wait. I'm Phil. I killed your senior advisor and now I'm going to kill you for killing me and ruining those kids future.

Oh no

Ah no. Just joking. Phil's dead.

Ha. Gas man. What were we talking about. Oh Ya. Wait there. Stop reading this. OK I got rid of boards now. Let's do some more smack.

Smack? Yo wack Bro.

Stop that. I pay you to be my senior adviser and drug dealer so start acting like one

Surreptitious

Sounds like someone has been at the doobies :rolleyes:

I don't know if alcohol is more dangerous than narcotics. Alcoholic drinks are prepared in carefully regulated environments.

It's too much (of anything) that's the danger I'd say.

Only ever took ecstasy once. Smoked whatever could be smoked, snorted whatever was going at house parties but I didn't like how I was after taking ecstasy. My brain felt like it was sizzling in a frying pan and when your jaws start moving of their own accord it's not a great feeling. My behaviour that night wasn't good and I wasn't in a great place mentally either.

Scheduled acid trip to Bray head for the day!
I walk into Store st thinking it was the dart station - my mate pulling me out and me mumbling i didnt get a ticket. Made it out to Killiney as i thought the train carriages were shrinking, various other mind wanderings. Ended up sitting on killiney head for a good 3 hours looking at the sea which was rather great. 22 years ago next April

Took a speedball many moons ago...had a great night but the following day woke up with my heart galloping through my whole body, so hard my teeth would click together and horrendous chest pain. Like I was trying to swallow a sword with an elephant sitting on my chest. I was grey and sweating and could only breath fast and shallow. It passed after a couple of hours and I was absolutely wiped. Convinced myself it was just really bad heartburn but no more drugs and no more issues after that.

I got hideously drunk on another occasion - woke up with the phone ringing in my ear and realised I'd just puked while on my back in a deep, drunken sleep - thick, nasty puke all over my face and pillow, coughing and choking. Threw me a bit how different the outcome could have been had there been no phone call or I'd been just a tiny bit more drunk. Haven't drunk like that since.

Despite all my experimentation over the years, the worst whitey I ever pulled was on legally prescribed pain relief that I'd been given for a back injury. I was very disappointed in myself.

Four Phucs Ache

When I was 15 me and a few friends had our first bit of weed.After 10 mins or so we were looking at each other waiting to see what it felt like or who was feeling it.

We started to giggle.

It started off slow.Within minutes we were fooking pissing ourselves laughing.My face was so sore.

I said out loud in between laughing that my face was really sore and in between trying to breath and laugh one of them said my mams fanny would have been sore if my face had to come out of it.

Fooking hell the laughter exploded all round so much we were in convulsions.I remember trying to stand up to leave the room as I had to stop laughing and as I got up I passed out.I fell head first like a tree onto the glass table in the living room.

When I came through the rest of the fookers where on there hands and knees choking and going blue while I was spitting blood and glass onto the cover of women's way.A piece about 2 inch long dug in under my scalp.

I will never forget Dierdre from Coronation Street smiling back at me covered in blood.

Very true. "The dose makes the poison".

Drinking too much water can kill you.

When I realised "The Fear" was just another name for "alcohol induced psychosis."

The last ever time I took acid I had a strong trip that was fun for a while but turned into a bad one. Just wanted to come down at all costs. Paced around the back garden of the house about 100 times trying to calm myself down. Drank lots of OJ as I heard that Vit C was an antidote but fat lot of good it did me.

Eventually I came down but it was a totally sh*tty experience. Vowed never to touch the stuff again and 20 years on, I haven't.

But my worse accidents/scrapes were with booze. Booze and I have had a very abusive relationship in the past 8 years. Sober now and intend to stay that way.

What happened with the acid trip that made it so bad?

Drink beer. Some say it ruins the trip, at least one person says it makes it a lot more controllable.

Realistically I have a bit of a thing with alcohol every year or two. The last one was just after Christmas this year when I counted up that I was having well over 100 units a week for a while before Christmas and pushing 200 a week for about 3 weeks over Christmas. Older people especially like to say beer isn't as bad as shorts but in terms of how much alcohol is consumed it's a lot easier to hit very high levels with beer than spirits for me.
Last 2 weeks I've had under 15 units total which is quite the reduction. :P I'm avoiding beer completely because while I could probably have 1 or 2 and stop I wouldn't have 4 and stop. Also because 12 is a quiet one for me, 24 is a standard weekend night. :P

Definitely sounds like it's worth cutting down! Best of luck with it

It's a piece of piss tbh. :P Little disappointing though because I'm realising how little it was actually affecting my life. :pac:
