Overdose - what happened, did swim almost die? collection of cocaine O.D. experiences &questions

[invictvs]

Please help my "friend":


Idid coke 3 weeks ago with someone who knew what he was doing. He walked me through everything and babysat me through the 18 hour extravaganza... great high, great energy, only noticeable discomfort was slight lower back pain which may have been from sitting at the coke table blabbingfor hours on end.


2 Weeks went by and I got my hands on an 8 ball from the same dealer, the coke seemedrelatively close to pure (numbed my gums, teeth, etc. was cystalline rocked, had an ether taste, etc.).


Rather than partying all night with it i start fucking around with it during the workweek, approximately 10-20 lines a day. That went Monday through Thursday. Friday morning, for some fucking stupid reason i decided to do 3 huge lines. Everything was great then all in the sudden i get this feeling like i'm going to die, or at least black out. To make matters worse I'm driving in rushhour traffic on my way to work. I notice my heart racing, i pull over and take my pulse it's roughly 150 BPM. Also i noticed I couldn't swallow or breath through my nose! So i start panicking, which only made it worse of course. The only thing that seemed to help was rapid breathing.


I've tried to do the rest of my 8 but I get so freaked out that I get that feeling like I'm gonna pass out everytime i do a line now! I've tried everyday this week to no avail, I plan on giving it a rest of course.


I've done meth only once before, maybe more from dirty E pills. Can anyone tell me (from experience or from a physiological perspective) what the fuck happened?
