Combinations - Worst Combination OD Ever: Ephedrine, Caffeine, Aspirin & Codeine

My Worst Combination-drug-Abuse OD Ever

Last week a friend of Swim put this to paper:

Ephedrine, Caffeine, Aspirin & Codeine

by Swimf (someone who is my friend)

Swim finally have decided to submit a report from a massive drug overdose, Swim almost died from. It happened 2 years ago. First a little background information about Swim: Swim was at the time a senior in high school (male-18y). Great shape, excercising about five times a week at the time. Swim had/have great grades and consider Swimself intelligent. Swim has always (since junior grade) used stimulants (ephedrine, caffeine and at times meth), later Swim has tried MDMA, shrooms etc, but never on the 'druggie-head-level'.
Swim was at the time on a field trip to Geneva (physics class to CERN, etc.). The night before Swim was at a bar and was drinking quite heavily. The morning after Swim had a hung over. Swim had a few TREO (a total of 1000mg aspirin + 100 mg caffeine). Swim also had a few kodimagnyl (additional 1000mg aspirin + 32mg codeine), because of the very heavy headache, from the day before. Before breakfast Swim wanted a little 'pick Swim up', so Swim did about 10 ephedrine pills (herbal ephedra, not very potent). Swim has done this dose of ephedra many times before (7), and is quite suitable for Swim. At breakfast Swim was feeling a little better, but quite lightheaded. Swim still don't know why Swim did this, but never the less, Swim did a additional 500mg pure caffeine at breakfast. At this point Swim was looking quite normal, but Swim was very lightheaded. Swim guesses Swim had forgotton the kodymagnyl Swim had done before, so Swim did another two (=1000mg aspirin + 32mg codeine). Swims were on our way to CERN (the particle accelerator). On the way there, Swim could not stop laughing. It was so imberrasing, because Swims physics teacher (which Swim respect very much), was with Swim in the bus, along with Swims classmates and some researchers. Swim guesses Swim thought 'what the hell', this is fun and did a couple of more ephedrine (4 or 5) and a couple of caffeine pills.
A little later Swimmas went down in the CERN (100 meters underground) for a tour. There where researchers, which gave a very interesting presentation, but Swim could not sit still (I REALLY COULDNT). Swim kept falling off Swims chair and laughing. Swimmas went for a small tour, and suddenly Swim went VERY dizzy. Swim sat down at a table and passed out. Swim was behind a crowd, so no one noticed. Swim awoke about 3 minutes later, and Swim felt like something was soooo wrong with Swim (physically). Swims heart pounded about 220 bpm, very very irregulary and Swim sweated like a pig. Swim could not see or stand. Swim was sure Swim would have a heart attack. Swim wanted to shout for a doctor, but Swim was not able to talk (Swim is glad now, it would have been very imberrasing). Swim dragged Swimself outside the room and induced vomiting (which probably more or less saved Swim). Swim calmed down a little bit and had a good friend held Swim up to the surface. Swim sat down in the sunny weather and had an ice cream. Swims head felt so wrong (the hangover was a blessing compared to this).
It was aching, pounding and Swims vision was very blurred. Swim thought Swim had permanently hurt Swimself. The day finally dragged itself to an end and Swim got home to the hotel. Swim could not sleep before 5 in the morning and felt bad for the three last days.
Swim swore Swim would never touch ephedra again, but now Swim has a controlled use (eg two pills, before a party) maybe once a month, and Swim never combines it with any other drugs. The morale of the story is: THINK! Swim was unforgivably stupid that day. Swim had no idea what Swim was thinking. Swim knew the dangers of ephedra, etc. Swim just hope Swims post, can prevent others from redoing Swims mistake!
Good luck
regards,

Swimf.

So, now that SWIM has been hired by CERN as a natural for the head position, how much money will SWIM be making a year after taxes?

uh, after SWIMMING through this report (feel like i need to dry off now) i wonder why a bright young thing would go off on abusing hepatotoxic and corrosive OTC medications to get hi. perhaps Swimself should reconsider the above statement?

anyhow, this should serve as a warning for all thinking of getting hi off supermarket medicines.

also, folks, can we try to be a bit more creative in describing the experience instead of the constant repetition of the word 'swim'. keep in mind that the trip reports are about the effects of the drugs, not about the swim.

example - instead of saying 'swim got fucked up' you could try 'the drug's effects were becoming apparent' - see, no swimming needed!

SWIM binged on Meth and Took oxycotin

Good trip laying on a couch.Then breathing seemed to have stopped, did 4 lines of coke and ate some home made brownies. Sank into the couch and watched the colors around him turn colors.Then everything went blank and to rise to a screaming bitch trying to give cpr and so swim did more meth to keep him going to wake him up.All a blur after that.
