What the hell happened to me???

all i can say is wow. i have never felt this way ever before and although, it is almost indescribable, i will try my best. i hadn't really even done that much shit all day and i don't know what it was that made me feel like this but it was crazy. ok, i'm a 5'6 140 lb. female, so if my tolerance is up enough, I can hold my own. i'm a senior in college, so i've been partying alot for the last couple years. in about an 8 hour time span, i took my daily 50 mg zoloft (this is what my boyfriend thinks made this happen) about 6-7 average lines of coke, about 4 shots of bacardi, and smoked about 3 joints and hit an electric vaporizer (it had like a huge power blow-dryer thing at the end...this shit was crazy!!!) so after i hit the vaporizer, we were standing around a kitchen and i started feeling sooooo weird...almost a dream like state. i couldn't respond to anything. slowly, my body began to stiffen up until i couldn't move. then, it felt like the floor started to rock back and forth and it got faster and faster until i couldn't even stand up while leaning against something. so then, i try to sit in a chair, but my feet would not budge. finally, i passed out and someone carried me to a couch, where i felt like i was in a coma!! my eyes were closed, and i could feel that i couldn't move still, but i was laying there, able to hear people talking to me. suddenly, i tried sooooo hard to open my eyes and then did, and i could only stare dead on at one person. finally, it occurred to me what was going on. i simply didn't have control over any of my motor functions. every time i would try to gain control, i would pass out. i walked straight into a wall once...then i just kept passing out every time i would try to walk. then they laid me on a bed and all of a sudden i got really hot and my body went out of control!!! they had to hold my shoulders down while i kicked my legs for a good 2 minutes. i asked one of the other girls there who was a nurse if i was dying or overdosing and she assured me i wasn't and i finally just laid down and relaxed...i realized the whole situation then it was amazing to me that i could control my arms and legs. i felt like i could do anything! after i threw up, i cleaned the toilet for like, 5 minutes straight. then i would just made random gestures with my hands or legs for minutes at a time, almost obsessive compulsively or something. i threw up a couple times and then it slowly wore off. i had lost all perception of time. i thought it had lasted like, 5 hours, but really the whole thing lasted about 45 minutes. i've never been an emotional, violent drunk. i've used coke and pot together before, never that much pot though...and i've used coke and alcohol together, but only beer, never liquor. i doubt it has anything to do w/ the zoloft, cause it's only a 50 mg. dose and i've been on it for months (for panic attacks and slight seasonal depression). the strangest part is that when i was coming down, i wanted to get high again. not that high of course, but i didn't want it to go away completely. the comedown was terrible by the way.

i don't know...i guess i'm just curious what you guys think happened to me. anything is possible. has this ever happened to anyone else??

sounds to me like you did drugs. i think thats what happened to you.

i don't know anything about coke, but that sounds like a shit load of shit to take a once... all that coke and boos and pot, maybe mixed with alittle of that zoloft... thats my best guess...

Dude, you were that chick in the porno I just watched!!! What that St Bernard did to you was just wrong. I hope you don't kiss your mother with that mouth.

I'm not a doctor or anything, but i think you died.

-peace

I would say its the chemical reaction of all the drugs you used at one time lol.

coke is also a stimulant, you were speedin out of your mind, your heart was jumping about, then, when combined with the powerful, maybe sedative effects of the marijuana and alchohol mix, you were losing control of what your body wanted to do and what you were trying to tell yourself to do, You had no more connection with any part of your body,
times like this are more often than not, not the best time, i would stick to one drug for a while, or maybe none, considering it doesn't sound like you're handling yourself very well
wish you the best

well yeah, of course...that's what most people say ... "that's what happens when you do drugs..." i guess i've just never been fucked up that much. are there people who get like that all the time? b/c i can't imagine i'd want to.

MiNdYoU - i like your explanation. it makes sense.

and no lecturing!! i know...i learned my lesson. :rolleyes:

Alcohol + Anti-depressants can equal death. There's like a 'multiplication' effect where you can die off of alot less alcohol when you're on certain anti-depressants. The doctor who's prescribing them should have told you that..

"Many people who take Zoloft, Prozac, and other depression-related medications drink light to moderate amounts of alcohol without serious side effects, or any effects at all. However, it's important to know what the possible interactions may be so that you can be on the lookout.

When there is a noticeable reaction from mixing alcohol with anti-depressants, it's often an amplified response to the alcohol, i.e., one drink may end up feeling like two. If you usually feel tired, or even a bit depressed, after drinking, then you might feel even more so if you're on anti-depressants. Zoloft (generically known as sertraline) is an anti-depressant in the class known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs. It affects your brain's ability to absorb serotonin, which acts as a neurotransmitter, transmitting nerve impulses between nerve cells and affecting mood. Alcohol also affects serotonin levels in your brain by altering your brain's production of it. That's why using these two drugs together could produce unexpected and unwanted emotions. The use of alcohol could also possibly affect Zoloft's ability to do what it is supposed to do.

Similarly, the shaky motor skills and slower reaction time common for alcohol users may get even shakier when anti-depressants are present â?? these responses can occur suddenly and unexpectedly. Zoloft, and the other anti-depressants like it, can also produce sedative effects; since alcohol is a central nervous system depressant, lowered heart rate and blood pressure changes are possible. This becomes even more likely as the quantity of alcohol consumed increases. Other symptoms, including headaches and sexual dysfunction, are also sometimes associated with both medications used to treat depression and drinking sessions.

Often, the side effects associated with Zoloft, and other similar medications, subside after the first few weeks of use. When starting any new drug, as you just have, it's a good idea to see how your new medication will affect you free from other drugs, like alcohol, that can leave you wondering which drug is causing which reaction. Also, after using Zoloft for a while, your reactions when mixing it with alcohol may change. Staying attuned to your physical and emotional reactions can help you determine what is going on and why.

As you've demonstrated, understanding the way different drugs affect one another, and affect you, is very important. This is true not only of illicit substances, but also of legal drugs, like alcohol, nicotine, and prescription and over-the-counter medications. Indeed, some drug combinations are dangerous. Your prescribing doctor should be your main source of information regarding the possible effects of the drugs s/he's suggesting you take. If you're not satisfied with your provider-patient communications, you might ponder some new doctor shopping after you get back from your trip.

Happy camping."

Sorry for the triple post, but here's what I do:

Stop taking prescription medications for like 2 days before and 1 day after you party. It's just safest. And if you party all the time, don't take them at all.

I blame the pillz.

thanks for being helpful everyone and not being judgmental. you guys have some good theories and i'm definately going to chill out for awhile...but it feels better that at least someone out there has either witnessed or did this before.
