Blacking Out

Ok, I wanted to share part of the story and then would like to read your stories,comments and insights.

Am on antidepressents btw. So I medicated with about 1g -1.5g's of some pretty good stuff (mid-grade). I started walking, then my vision became blurry and I started getting very slow, and could barely stand, but I kept on walking anyways because I wanted to get to my destination, so I kept walking then everything started turning black, and i tried to stay up, but I couldnt so I fell down and blacked out for 10seconds-a minute.

Has anyone had similar experiences or any comments or anything?

i have i think or i was trippen

I've had similar experiences both with and with anti-depressants. My blackout has always come from taking a big hit, hold a couple seconds and the wake up on the floor. RARELY happens, but has in the past.

Happend once,
I stood up,
Took 3 steps,
fell too the floor,
woke up and was like..
What the fuck..
thing is I was sober.

& Thank someone,
cause you never know if your going to wake up.

NoB

My buddy told me one time after mitnessing my episode that I "did the funky chicken" just before and during my short blackout. I believe that is just a natural response to a lack of oxygen to the brain though.

hhahaha good replies so far people.

Most likely it's you feeling light headed. Were you sitting down for a while and did you stand up quickly?

Lay off the drugs man! If you plan to switch to marijuana and stop taking anti depressants, know that you need to wean yourself off of those unless your doctor thinks its somehow safer to go cold turkey (which I doubt).

You probably just got what i call a "head rush" where when you stand up too quickly your vision kind of blacks out from the outside in untill you have like tunnel vision, doesn't happen to me often only when im laying down and have to get up very quickly. Never passed out from it though but i've came close.

Yeah SK306 is probably right. Almost everyone stands up too quickly once in awhile and gets hit like that. You probably wouldn't have had it so bad if you weren't on anti depressant drugs and marijuana.

Both marijuana and some if not most anti-depressants lower your BP as a side-effect of use. Very possible the combination could result in low BP therefore leading to a blackout.

One time I was in Minnesota for work, they put us up in this five star hotel. I guess you can't buy real alcohol in the stores there but was able to find one that did. I got a little bottle of vos and took a few shots and watched some ghost hunter shit that was on and went to bed basically sober. I woke up in the morning and my room was trashed bad, bunch of stuff broken my cell phone had a bunch of Minnesota numbers in it that I guess I called. Also had a couple of vikings tickets for a game the next day. Only time I ever blacked out, kind of scared me.

Good story, but how does that relate? lmfao and i don't understand how you say you went to bed sober more or less and woke up to that, i think your buddies had a party while you were asleep.

@malifice: As long as you didn't wake up next to a long-handled spoon and a can of Crisco while notincing that it hurts to dump, I think you came out pretty good.

Yeah that happeneds to me alot especially when i hit some good shit it normal just be careful what you fall on...stay up!!!

if it matters..

when standing for long periods of time NEVER lock your knees, by doing so you drastically cut the blood flow. if your standing for long periods of time every so often crinkle your toes, i know it sounds retarded but something as simple as that actually helps keep blood flowing

happened to me twice, and then i've had occasions where my vision would "black out" a little and everything get's bright and colorful as if i looked into a really really bright f**kin light.
i have no idea what's the cause of this either =/

1st time i was at a pizzeria, we walked there so it's not like i stood up quickly but we did smoke before and while waiting at the counter i just fell backwards and black out for 10 secs. it wasn't a scene cause it was at a college really late and people were there getting their drunk munchies/whatever, it was kind of "normal" to fall over for a sec and stay there and then get up lol

2nd time some months later, i was smoking sitting on the floor and i just plopped to my side for about 3 secs, and then got back up myself normally. bro asked if i was ok and i was like "yeah just really high"

so idk, i'm okay right now, i've had my physicals since then normally everything fine. even had a ctscan and i think if there was something wrong with me, it would've been found at this point. soooooooo................???? i'm alive still lol it's been about 3 years since the last time where i plopped to my side for a bit but my vision will do that whole thing as if i stood up really quickly sometimes. i think it's a lack of oxygen/poor circulation

Ive Got Hash That Does This also Oil But More Importantly Ive Done This Unwisely Twice While Driving (really well Packed Sneak Toke on the way to work you know how it goes then wam red out like a fighter pilot doing 45........) yadda yadda i made it

I had something of a similar experience, at the time I was high as hell, with blood pressure problems, and I blacked out walking home

this has happened to me multiple times except i never lost consciousness or fell over. It happened while driving and smoken, i would take a huge hit and as i breath it out i start to loose vision, and black out. Obviosly i was scared shitless and started slowing down..good thing i was on the high way every time that happened so i just had to keep the car straight for ten seconds till i can see agian.

also, i was smoken some good shit with this chick out of her bong one time, and as soon as she took the hit she fell backwards into the couch and dropped the bong, and i started shaken her, she was out for a good 30 seconds...

so weird
