What To Do If Cocaine And H2o2 Is Taken?

I am not a drug user generally. I was in a severe MVA that caused sever injuries. Those injuries are now to forever prevent me from nursing ever again. My career is my life. I cannot imagine doing anything else. It is all I ever wanted to do from very early childhood. So in a moment of rebellion against the universe, I shot up cocaine all day. I think I accidentally shot up H2O2 just now. It was in a 10 ounce glass of water and there was an estimated 10 to 15 units, not cc s, of peroxide. It has been 30 minutes. Besides the ER,( not an option- former colleagues. don t want to disappoint them ) WHAT CAN I DO FROM HOME? Please...... ps- I injected 60 units ( tb syringe )

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I understand that you are distressed and worried after accidentally injecting H2O2 along with cocaine. Now, it is important to realize that this may cause potentially dangerous complications and it is not advisable to not seek medical attention. Though I can understand your hesitation in going to the ER as it could be embarassing, but neverthless, it is essential that you put your health and safety first.

The other worrying thing is your impulsive act of suddenly injecting these drugs and it is clear that you are finding it difficult to cope with the stress. So, I will advise you to please seek medical help as early as possible. I'm sure your medical colleagues would understand your position and would focus on helping you, rather than being critical or judgemental.

Wish you all the best.

Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
