Stop taking them, give your body a break. Going blue is surely a sign of abuse, get to the hospital or something, your blood isn't circulating properly to your hands and feet by the sounds of it. If you're going to buy some legal highs off the net, make sure you know what you are buying... they should list their ingredients on the websites.
You've been well and truly reckless...
First thing to do is stop taking anything you've bought - having blue hands is not healthy. Did you have these symptoms before taking these drugs? How long have you been taking them? If you stop taking them and the symptoms stop, then your answer is pretty clear - you need to either stop completely, take less, or take something else. If you do decide to continue doing this, you need to do some proper research about this stuff, and be more responsible about it.
Ivory Wave is, according to people who've taken it, MDPV, which is a stimulant and currently unregulated chemical in the UK. This means little is known about the effects, and you should be very wary about using it - especially in high doses and regularly. Apparently the comedown is often strong and can produce similar effects to those you describe.
Synthacaine apparently (this info is from the sellers, so not necessarily true) contains: "essential amino acid complex, vitamin complex, essential minerals, caffeine, glucosegen, flavoring agent lidocaine (non stimulant)". The important ingredients are in bold - it probably just has a high dose of caffeine for the stimulant effect, and then the lidocaine will give a numbing effect (it's used to cut cocaine to give the illusion of increased purity). This is a complete piece of shit 'legal high' - you'd be better off with some Pro Plus tablets.
I can't really add much to that. Know your body, know your source and know your substance.
:thumb: couldn't have put it better myself, Wooooooooah!!
Even if something is 'natural' certainly doesn't mean its good for you or safe (as you rightly point out). I tried Salvia once and it was one of the most nightmarish experiences of my life.
stay away from chemicals and synthetics. Try something herbal like skullcap or california poppy. abstractlibation.com makes herbal teas with combinations of herbs.
Ist - all drugs (natural and synthetic) are chemicals.
2nd - Just because something occurs naturally does not make it safer than something made in the lab. It has fuck all to do with it.
alot of these legal highs contain alot of untested chemicles which even top doctors have no idea wot the possible long term side effects could be. when studyin at college i learnt alot about vetinary medicine, which i known may strange to some people. but alot the chemicles u see in these legal drugs are a mixture of things, sum of which i have come accross.
from wot you have written it sounds lke you have nerve damage in ur hand and thats why u cant grip much, and the colouring in your hands and feet sound like the oxygen levels in your blood have been affected due to the constant use of the drugs and your body is tellin you something is wrong by changing colour, i strongly advice you dnt just go by wot i have written due to the fact im not a doctor and seek medical help ASAP
