• Horrible Experience After IV Meth Use
    21 replies, posted
I've been using meth for sometime now but this is the first time this has ever happened and I've never heard of it happening before. It was the scariest thing I've ever felt in my entire life. I'm posting this because I want to know if anyone can tell me what the fuck happened or has heard of this before. First time I've shot up anything in quite awhile too. So at this point I had been up for 5 or 6 days which would be only be the second time I've ever stayed awake for almost an entire week. I got a bag and picked a nice spot to get high. I railed some, and then about 30 minutes later did a 10 or 15 unit shot. All I remember after I did it was taking the rig out of my arm. Then, I woke up and it felt as if my chest and my head were on fire. My heart was racing, faster than anything I've ever felt before. I was so scared. I didn't know what was going on. I started hugging my friend who I was with, asking her what was wrong, hugging her and begging her not to leave. She kept saying that you can't OD off meth (Which I know to be bullshit) and that I just overamped. After about 5 minutes of all that, my friend and I walked over to a bench where some people we knew were. As soon as I got there everyone knew how fucked up I was. Almost right after I showed up I started losing it. I thought that I had died and my body was over where I'd shot up at and that the park I was in was in some kind of purgatory. I thought each person at that table was a reflection of a different part of my sub conscience. I remember I talked to this one guy and thought he might of been an Angel or something trying to give me the right advice, because for whatever reason, I thought that I had to choose between two groups of friends and, if I chose the wrong one I would die. Then I remember asking him if the girl I was with was evil and if I should stay where I'm at and he said yes. I also remember starting to think the same person could be a demon posing as an Angel and trying to trick me. I crossed myself and asked him if that bothered him. I'm not sure what happened after. I also remember this chick who walked up to where we were all at. She said something about being in some type of medical thing at the college up the road and told me to take deep breathes and all that stuff. Before she left, she handed me a purple flower. I freaked out, asking her what it was for. I don't remember what she said but I thought it was for my tombstone. This shit went on for about 4 or 5 hours and the entire time my normal "mind" or whatever was in the back of my head telling me that all the shit I'm seeing has to be real. This isn't happening. It kept looking for logic and I would ask the people I saw questions that I couldn't answer, because I thought that somehow, if these people were different parts of myself, I could confuse myself or know that they were wrong or some shit to see if I was really dead or not. It was my normal brain was fighting my meth brain and 9 out of 10 times, my meth brain was the one controlling my perception of reality. So, if you ever needed a reason to quit or not to try meth, here you go. I'm currently sober and have been for a few days. Really plan on staying that way. Anyone have ANY idea what this whole thing might have been? If not, tell me what you think anyway. I need ideas. Also forgot to mention that I did end up going to the hospital. They did an EKG but that was really about it. Nothing wrong I guess.
Never tried meth, no idea what I'm talking about, but could've been a bad batch mixed with paranoia. It's good to hear you're staying clean now tho', could've had a heart attack.
Same as Tools, haven't tried it myself and I don't have much idea of what I'm talking about either, but it might have also been substance-induced psychosis.
what happened was meth induced psychosis
So, I really did go insane for a little bit then huh? But why did I pass out after doing a shot of meth? I don't understand that.
Staying up too long, malnutrition, drug (especially upper, so especially especially methamphetamine) use in large doses over a long period of time with repeated use, all that combined will eventually contribute to some sort of mental breakdown.

I don't know too much about meth, but I [b]do[/b] know that mixing sleep deprivation with hard drugs is a very bad idea. Your body needs that sleep to repair itself and shooting up after 6 days without it is disastrous.
[QUOTE=King of Satan;40910149]what happened was meth induced psychosis[/QUOTE] likely this you were up for nearly a week on meth, shot a bunch of it, had a panic attack. sleep deprivation and malnutrition can really fuck with you, and a panic attack on top of being high as shit = bad time take it easy for a while, glad to hear you're doing better. I don't recommend binging for days on stims, its bad for your health long-term, and week long binges are fuckin crazy. Your brain goes fuckin' insane without sleep
Still clean. Going camping in the morning :)
When I think of meth I think of people on East Hastings street in Vancouver who are homeless and completely fucked up their lives and are filled with disease from using dirty needles. Please PLEASE don't ever touch that shit again, I'd hate to see a fellow FP'er go down that road, meth is a dirty nasty drug.

Got back from camping awhile ago. Still clean :3 I think I can do this amigos :D [editline]8th June 2013[/editline] Woah, for a second there I thought you were talking about [I]MY[/I] Vancouver. Haha
Amphetamine and sleep-deprivation induced psychosis. I've seen it happen to people strung out on addies several times.
As others have said sleep deprivation combined with an overdose. Keep it up and you'll have a very painful death. Why are you banging meth anyway, smoke that shi.

Nothing wrong I guess.[/QUOTE] My best guess was the fact that you'd stayed up for almost a week. my sanity usually starts losing it's cohesion around the second or third day, and that's completely (well mostly) sober. I think you may have experienced a sort of ego death, which is commonly (intentionally or not) induced by that amount of sleep deprivation. Losing sight of your normal sense of self is that otherworldly, profound new experience that so many of us try to acheive, be it through meditation, religion, drugs or any other way we alter the mind's normal state of being. In doing so we often manage to subvert of ignore the ego's view of things, making as many impartial observations as we can before, as a bird returns to nest we reside in the protection that we need to make it through the day. Maybe when we look in on ourselves we sometimes forget that that's you that you're looking at, forgetting that other people can see that person. or something. I dunno I'm talking out my ass lol
