bad experience with speed

I was at a festival this weekend, and although I was caning it a lot, we all were doing Es and drinking lots, but on the last day we got a little bit of speed as well - this was the first time id done it in 5 years, I used to do it an awful lot but gave it up. As soon as I started feeling it, I regretted it. I went from feeling great, to just feeling weird, and not being able to think properly, I tried to get into it a bit but obviously couldnt sleep that night and we had to go home in the morning. When wed packed up and went, we thought we`d have just a tiny bit, just to keep us awake but not enough to make us properly speedy or anything. It didnt do anything after an hour and a half, so we did another small bomb. About half an hour after that came the worst ever experience. I felt like I couldnt breathe, I just couldnt get enough air in, was hot and cold, then I started getting pins and needles all up my arms and especially my hands. I was thinking, shit, somethings happening to my heart, my circulation isnt working. Then my hands went into spasm and I couldnt move them. My fingers looked bent up at the ends and were completely paralysed. I was absolutely petrified, I was feeling sick and I just didnt know what to do, I was screaming at mrB to take me to a hospital as I thought I was having a heart attack! He told me that he didnt think i should go to hospital, because id just had too much speed when I wasnt used to it anymore and if I went to the hospital, it would be on my record and I could potentially get chucked off my course. He gave me one of his valiums instead to try and relax me and relax the muscles in my hands and said wed see how I felt when I was home. When we got home, I tried to walk out of the car and I couldnt. He had to carry me in.
Ive never felt so ill or frightened ever in my life. Ive had bad experiences of various drugs, but never like that. Really scary. Im not sure if it was just the culmination of not much sleep, lots of Es and everything with that on top, but I was feeling fine before I had the speed, apart from feeling tired.
Couldnt sleep during the day, even though I was completely fucked and dead tired. Could barely even sit upright, let alone walk.
its only this afternoon that I can even sit up for short periods (hence being able to write on here).
Has anyone ever had anything like this or know whether ive likely done myself permanent damage?
I know the guy I got it off, im wondering if it was a dodgy batch, or whether I OD`d even though I only took a small amount in quantity.
Is there such a thing as amphetamine poisoning?

The circulation issues and the hot and cold make it sound a little like meth, but meth should kick in much quicker than you describe.
Its totally up to you whether or not to go to Hospital but I dont think it should affect your nursing course, medical records are very private and I doubt the course would be able to know.
I didnt actually get any pleasurable feelings from it at all. Nor did Mr Brite, he just felt hot and cold and sweaty, but nowhere near what I had.
I cant possibly tell you whether a hospital visit is a good idea or not, but it could be a good idea to get yourself checked out, just in case. Are you doing your course at your local hospital?
If I went to my doctor, then the hospital wouldnt have the notes then would they, unless they needed them specifically?
If you think it wasnt speed, do you know of anywhere I can get it checked out, because I still have most of it left. We really were only doing tiny bits. I was trying to err on the side of caution.
Ive read up what i could find on google on amphetamine posioning, and it says they usually sedate people, so it looks like taking that Valium was the right thing to do. When my hands got paralysed like that It was the scariest thing ever, I was crying my eyes out.
If you are going to hospital or your doctor keeping a little sample might be useful, that way they can get it tested and see what it is. But maybe get rid of most of it if you are going to keep it.
...the very thought of taking the stuff now makes me feel physically sick :yuck:
Im convinced now I overdosed on the speed even though it didnt look like much in quantity, I was also really dehydrated, and hadnt slept much all weekend, and not at all the night before it happened. I think my body just couldnt take any more.
that is so freaky becuz august 13th this year i was at the caravan nad the same thing happened to me :eek: my fingers were all bent up i cudnt breathe, i really freaked my lass out and my 2 pals. i had to put both my hands over my mouth i was breathing in and out that loud and didnt wanna wake me other pal up who was in the caravan. it took roughly 45 minutes for mine to calm down, i didnt have no valiums :no: and i have vowed never to touch speed again. it happened before on E's as well back in may but ive took them loads of times since then and had them saturday just gone and was fine so im just gonna stick with the lil fellaz
also forgot to say we had £10 of speed between 3 of we're thats all!
each to their own ;p
caused by a massive stimulation your no longer used to.
plus ...there could of course have been all sorts of crap in it that your reasonably healthy bodies were fighting against in shock and horror!
i had a love affair with amphetamine to the point where it almost destroyed me.
had none for years and then mistakingly remebered only the 'good' times on it ...as i shoved another dose in ...i did so knowing i was making a mistake ...hated myself for a week.
felyt dirty and ill.
I only remember the good times and end up regretting it or re-dosing for a few days.
i do.
i have learned to mostly master those moments by labeling the experience ...'euphoric recall'.
a symptom of the human condition as a whole but ...a little more dangerous for a clean addict.
I like the feeling after you've had a really good night as well and the next day you hear a tune you heard in the club or you and your mates are talking about how good something was and you feel like your rushing to fcuk.
the day after a lot of speed i became very paranoid about something and i started getting a tingling starting in my hands, it spread up my arms then all over the top half of my body
it might have been a nice feeling if i wasnt freaking the fuck out and taking real big deep breaths hoping it would go away
i guess it was some sort of panic attack
