OD'd on E, what were my real chances?
I took 4 ecstacy pills (dealer said only take 2, at most), i know that you can't measure what they have in them, since they aren't made by pharmacies.
I OD'd and got rushed to ER, they said all they could do was pump fluids into me. I had 2 ivs.
A urine test showed that the 4 pills contained: ecstacy, ketamine, and SPEED which I didn't know about.
I had went to ER in ambulance, paramedic injected .09% chloride or w/e to negate effects (acids/bases).
I got to hospital and nurse said my blood pressure was hovering around 220 for 2 hours, then it SLOWLY dropped over 2-3 more hours. my heart rate was very high, around 200 also. and my core temp. had risen also. i began having minor hallucinations. and i was sweating like i was in a sauna.
nurse said i was going to be okay, and she laughed when i asked her if i was, but i thought she was just saying that. she mentioned aneurysm, heart attack, etc. then looked away.
i wanna know what were my chances, of really having a serious problem. i'm very healthy, 16 years old, 170 pounds, on the varsity wrestling team, workout 5 times a weak, im on the off season and only wrestle 3 times a week for 2 hours a time.
was there really a good chance i wasnt going to make it?

That kicked in quite fast you are EXTREMELY lucky to be alive.
There was a girl who was 12 and took one and died in the ER.
with a systolic(blood pressure =(systolic over diastolic) of 220 is extreme hypertension (hyper=high, tension=bp)
I am a cna and studying nursing to be a trauma doctor in the ER and a systolic of 140 is considered to be dangerous.
Pulse rate over 110 are not normal at all as well.
You are very lucky you didn't have a heart attack and you are very lucky
I wouldn't do it again
Ecstacy is one of the most dangerous drugs out there besides heroine and acid I think
With what you said, your chance sounded like 1 out of a LOT

There is a very good chance of dying when
taking these kinds of drugs. Had someone
or yourself not called an ambulance you
could have easily died. It only takes
one.
As someone who has worked in an Emergency
room as well as with an ambulance company,
I can tell you it is not at all uncommon
for people to die this way. Most from heart
failure. Some die alone and some die just
because friends don't want to get caught
themselves and just leave them by themselves.
The scariest death I've ever seen is the
kid who took something mixed with ecstasy
that literally "fried" his brain. His
body temperature was so high a regular
thermometer could not read it. We had to
borrow one from the morgue.
Not cool to mess with if you want future. :)

I couldn't give you an exact statistic but ya, there was a very good chance you could have died from that. If people hadn't dealt with you as fast as they probably did then your systems probably would have started to shut down. Considering you had a mixture of drugs in there that really only made things worse. I'm not really sure what to tell you about this, you should be thanking whatever god you can find that you're still alive and I hope you learn from this. There's too many people as it is that aren't lucky enough to get help when they need it.
