nic overdose?

[deebocools]

So I've been going about my normal routine of nasal snuff in the morning(2-3 pinches), snus in the day, snuff in the afternoon, and one portion before bed. For some reason today I had the compulsion to "up my game" and so I did snuff and a strong portion in the morning, followed up regular portions and some snuff in the day, snuff in the afternoon, and snuff and a strong portion at night.

Honestly, I thought that my body wanted it, but for the first time I am feeling unpleasantness from nicotine. After my 3 shots of espresso at 6pm(that's normal) and a nick and johnny portion, I feel impressively nauseaus, which is wierd because I'm usually impervious to stomach trouble. I'm posting just to tell you friends and esteemed snus coleagues not to do it! If you feel lightheaded, just quit while you're ahead.

right not tobacco just seems to be about the most horrible thing in the world... I can't wait for this to go away.

Try not to just jump up with tobacco. Nic hits can be quite harsh on the body. I have never had an issue with it because I am a big guy (240lbs.) but my girlfriend (110lbs.) will get real sick if she uses too much too soon.

Watch your step ups and also watch what you eat if you start to feel a little sick. Try to sit back close your eyes and eat crackers or bread. That can help you settle down. Try not to add alot of caffine either, that can have a adverse effect.

Hope you feel better.

I've found that I can use nicotine almost to no extent (huge wad of los, 36mg e-liquid and a pinch of snuff) and i'll be fine. Add a cup of coffee to the mix and I start getting hot flashes, shaking, and on occasion have to toss my cookies.

I feel your pain. It is not a comfortable feeling.

I wanna have fun too..............guess I'll have to "up my dose".

That reminded me of this. Replace "spam" with "snuff", other items with "snus".

Yeah, a nicotine OD is definitely not pleasant. It's like having too much to drink, but sober. Sorry about that.

The caffeine is likely making things worse, although you may be using too much nicotine as well. But the caffeine along with lots of nicotine is enough to make your stimulant level high and raise your blood pressure pretty high as well.

Honestly though, I like caffeine with my nicotine too, but you just have to space out the nicotine usage so that you don't overdo it.

bla

i hate that feeling...it always makes me really tired too for some reason. and falling asleep usually helps. hope you feel better soon

I agree about the caffeine; I think having too much of it is worse than too much nicotine.

I had an old roomate who drank too much coffee once at work; he was just standing there, and then out of nowhere projectile vomited all over the place. Everyone went nuts because they thought he was dying, but he said he felt a lot better, cleaned up the mess, and went back to work like it never happened. :shock:

Damn right. One time I drank about 64 oz of cappuccino (because I did crystal at the time and wanted the pickup because I didn't have any) and I thought my heart was going to beat out of my chest and felt like I was half dying. Made the same mistake taking two really strong caffeine pills once.

Note: Hardcore drugs are BAD. And caffeine in large doses is too. Now I'm clean (for many years) and prefer nicotine and REASONABLE amounts of caffeine to anything.

thanks for all the kind words, I do agree now that the caffeine and nicotine at the same time was the culprit.

I usually have 3 shots of espresso and a snus first thing in the morning, and it's great. I then keep snusing/snuffing, then again somewhere between 4-8PM I have 3 more shots of espresso.

The difference this time Is usually after my evening cup of coffee I have one more portion, this time I had a strong portion along with it, after having snuffed every 30 mins. before hand for a couple hours... usually only take caff/nic together first thing in the morning.

today I skipped my evening coffee and instead just kept with the nicotine, not only am I not ODing, but I feel plenty alert without the caffeine.

so yeah, I've learned an interesting limitation in myself... and thanks for not calling me a wuss(though I was convinced that I was)

[spirit72]

Yup. 2 basic ground rules with snus:

1. Nicotine Overdose= Not Fun.

2. Nicotine Overdose + Caffeine= OUCH.

Nic overdose the other night.

After a Claq Qui, i decided I wanted GR los. Since I feel that GR los is an under-performer in the flavor department, I made a huge pris.

10 minutes later i was curled up in a ball, making deals with my preferred deity.

K that's alot of stimulant even though you're not exactly cranking dexadrine...
I'm 385lbs and I FEEL it when I have a couple of double esspresso with snus and snuff if I'm out socialising.
I'm enjoying it now and then but know deep down I'll one day have to eliminate @ least one.
I'm gonna miss esspresso... :cry:

[sychodelix]

FSCK that (linux joke). I love espresso. Moderation is the key
