I did cocaine last night and am very upset with myself.
Sent to Health Experts January 05 12:28 PM

I did cocaine last night and am very upset with myself. I've only done it twice and felt horrible the last time. Just very depressed and ashamed of myself. I did it more than 8 hours ago. Am I out of the physical danger zone for heart attacks and things like that? I am very frightened as to the potential damage to my body and would like to know what I can do for myself today. I am sorry to have to bother you with this and I am very sorry I did this. Am I still in danger and what can I do to help myself in the short term? Thank you so very much.

 

Optional Information:
Female, Age: 34, Vermont

Already Tried:
Just some tea this morning and I could probably drink more water. I have a headache but I'm frightened to take anything as I don't want something bad to happen. Thank you again.

Reply to Jason's Post: No chest pain. Powder. I don't know, 2 lines if that makes any sense. It was a moderate amount (how can anyone even say that?). I probably did the last amount amount 1.45 am or 2 am. No other physical symptoms aside from headache. Very depressed and ashamed, however.

I had two people answer this question and I'm confused. He told me that the drug leaves the body in 3-4 hours but the thing you mentioned can stay in the body for a few days. You say that I am still in danger, possibly. I am so confused. I've had a headache that he told me it was safe to take something for and now I'm very confused. I tried the helpline but the it is somehow unavailable. He also told me it would be OK to have a beer with my husband later on this afternoon. I'm just confused and frightened. Can you help clear this up a little for me? Thank you.

I actually had 3 people reply to this. I am really confused at this point. One was a Doctor Manju and the other was a Dr. J or Jason. I am appreciative for help but I am not certain as to why so many people answered this question. Or attempted to answer this question.

Yes, I'm sorry about that, it seems your question was listed twice and that was reported but I answered the question as well. He is completely correct in telling you that the cocaine part of the drug has left your body by now (though I warned you that it can still be detected because it is traceable in your system) and that it is safe for you to take something for your headache and probably safe to drink a beer later today (you don't have acute things to worry about because the cocaine is out of your system). My answer was more on the err on the side of caution because IF a clot had formed, it theorhetically could cause symptoms later when it moves and complications later than the actual drug having an effect on you. It is not most likely that a clot has formed or that you are in any danger at this time. I just wanted to ensure that you are aware of and watching for any signs of stroke because of the extremely remote possibility that something like that could occur. I certainly agree with the other experts' response and do not mean to contradict any of it or confuse you : ) This was just a mistake because the question was double listed!! : )

Please remember to press ACCEPT so that I may be compensated by the website for my efforts. Positive feedback is much appreciated; please remember that this feedback is personal to me and not to the website, thank you!
