fainted after injection, help?

**djdjdjddjon** · 08-17-2002, 05:13 PM

gave a friend of mine his injection the other day, i did once cc of sust/eq mix in his left shoulder, then 1 in his right, and about 15 seconds after i did his right shoulder he goes i feel kinda dizzy and i go are you ok and he goes yah im ok and as he is saying ya im ok he fell, he just fell, and i went down by him, asked him if he was alright, again he told me he was fine. finally after about 45 seconds i got him to stand and then sit down on our couch, i had my roomate bring him a cold water and about 10 minutes later after i felt he would be ok i let him leave...wtf just happened? i aspirated, no blood, no air bubbles in the mix before i injected, any ideas? i thought maybe some small air bubbles from the eq, or maybe he was just really excited/nervous? any help would be appreciated, im kinda worried and never had this happen before, thanks guys

Shit bro, that would have scared the crap outa me! It could have been a few things. Anxiety/nervous. Maybe he was dehydrated or had an empty stomach?? I always make sure i drink alot and have something in my stomach when im shooting. Seems any of those could have done it.
Glad to hear hes ok though!

I agree with being nervous and the empty stomach, maybe scared of needles a little. I had this happen to a friend of mine , he hadnt ate that day

**McBain** · 08-17-2002, 05:45 PM

I came real close to passing out first time I shot pecs. Having a needle pointed at your chest can be a scary fucking site! He was probably just anxious. Btw I NEVER get nervous and dizzy but when shooting pecs I did so it's not like you have to be the nervous type.

**ripped4fsu** · 08-17-2002, 06:25 PM

sounds to me like he experienced a mild case of shock. same shit happened to me once. got shortness of breath, shakes, tunnel vision...
of course, then I realized I had run my dogs worm meds!

j/j
seriously, it probably was just mild shock, was he watching you inject him? that can trigger shock in some people...

That just happens sometimes, and more often in men than women.
It's called "vaso vegal syncoe"
It comes from a hypersensitive vegal nerve and the apprehension of the needle stick causing a person to pass-out, I have seen people go into convulsions while unconscious but with no ill effects after consciousness is regained.

Just did my first shot thursday in my shoulder, didn't feel a thing but i started to sweat and get dizzy, my brother who gave me the shot just watched me for a bit and an hour later i went to the gym. i think it was just being nervous/anxiuos.

**Rickson** · 08-17-2002, 07:51 PM

My friend dropped like a log the first time I injected him. Makes you scared at first but I still laugh at him about that of course now he does more than me.

**jammergsxr** · 08-17-2002, 11:05 PM

I think its all nerves Bro,I'm a tattoo artist and I,ve had huge guys pass out just putting the stencil on.After ahwile its kind of comical!

**djdjdjddjon** · 08-18-2002, 08:50 AM

lol, thanks for all the replies guys, i was afraid no one would read because the post was so long. so by now hopefully hes still alive, havn't talked to him but im assuming since the po's didn't bust my door down that he's probably alive and kickin. once again thanks for all the replies, take care

**maxmus** · 08-18-2002, 12:32 PM

A friend of mine said that he felt like he was going to black out after taking a shot one time but that is the only time other then this that I have heard of some one pasing out.

**ragin'** · 08-18-2002, 01:05 PM

back in the day i got a little light headed once and awhile but never fainted. i bet he was just nervous and blacked out from it.

**djdjdjddjon** · 08-18-2002, 01:06 PM

yah probably, it was just weird that i gave him two injection the friday before that for his very first time, and he hardly knew me then, had never been to my house before, and had just bought the gear, and he was fine then...nevertheless its a scary experience for me to put in the archives...thanks again

yeah, i bet. you're probly like.. shit, did i just stick it in this guy's vein? did i just kill this guy? would've stressed me out, too. glad he's okay.

**Arnold_Is_God** · 05-15-2003, 02:15 PM

same thing happened to my friend when he injected. SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME!!! OMG

**wood** · 05-15-2003, 02:19 PM

One of my friends passed out like that last year when he first started his AS, it was anxiety.

**iron4life79** · 05-15-2003, 02:30 PM

im glad your boy survived the injections bro.

my question is are you ok? like what was posted above, i'd be willing to bet this was just as hard on your nerves as his.
this isnt something i'd want to experience.....at all.

peace I4L

**NEO-OEN** · 05-15-2003, 05:14 PM

LOL a buddy of mine did it a couple weeks ago, did a quad shot sitting on the tiolet, passed out and fell off the throne and split his head open on the floor. Who says drugs are bad.. rofl

**pumpseeker** · 05-16-2003, 09:41 PM

I bet this happens a lot...big needles are not for the faint of heart

**djdjdjddjon** · 07-20-2003, 04:18 PM

yah i was ok, just startling, suprised this thread is still active, this was over a year ago it happened and hes on his like 4th cycle of aratest/eq or something weird like that, lol...

**Joens** · 08-08-2003, 05:39 AM

I fainted about 20 minutes ago when we're frontloading an eq/sust. The first shot went ok but when i got the second i just went down.

My friend had to slap me a few times to wake me up. Kinda weird feeling i must say. The previous deca /test shots were no problem. :-)

**LittleNate** · 08-09-2003, 04:02 PM

Im such a little girl when it comes to any needles. I feel like im going to pass out every time the doctor gives me any kinda needle. Dont know if i ever will do AS.

**Aguro** · 12-12-2003, 11:13 AM

I was doing glute shot and fainted.. Fell on the seringue still in my ass... Bent the needle.. A little bit sore today.. I am happy to have lost consciousness because falling on the needle conscious wouldnt have been really unpleasant.. Other then that.. i feel ok.. Pissed to have wasted some gear.. but ok...

Should have seen the face of my little bro lol..

**cpt steele** · 12-12-2003, 11:54 AM

That really happened? **** it!

**cjp85** · 12-12-2003, 12:40 PM

Yeah, my buddies the biggest soap opera juicer Ive ever met. Every fu(king injection is like a big drama scene, and hes done well over 20 injections. He mentally prepares himself like its the big day or something. He almost passed out on my one time, as hes was saying "dude, if I die take the juice and throw it away and just leave me here", I was like "what the fuc(k are you saying bro!". Scary $hit

**BUYLONGTERM** · 12-12-2003, 12:45 PM

I was very nervous in the beginning now I absolutely can't wait till injection day. Nothing better than sliding the needle in and slowly watching your gear disappear!!!! I get tears of joy!!!

**microphobia** · 12-12-2003, 03:10 PM

My 3rd cycle now and still cant watch,will passout.
I pass out giving blood!!!

**bor** · 12-12-2003, 03:21 PM

Nothing to be ashamed off.When I did my first shot my heart was beating so fast I thought it would fly out my chest.You get used to it........

**clockworks** · 12-12-2003, 05:38 PM

after i got my eyebrow pierced, i was walking to the door and passed out. i asked a doctor what happened and he said when your body anticipates a large amount of pain, you build up tons of endorphines. then when there isn't any pain, the endorphines kinda overwhelm you and you pass out.

Suck it up.. jesus, its a little needle, people are fainting? Make sure its not estrogen in that needle. Check your tampons.

**ItalianMuscle** · 12-12-2003, 06:52 PM

he probably was nervous.. Must of scared th s**t out of you..

**cpt steele** · 12-12-2003, 07:27 PM

I dont dare to check it I may pass out lol

**Mclaren_v12** · 12-13-2003, 12:17 AM

People pass out all the time from Needles...I have a relative that passes out when they smell "hospital" cause they associate it with something.

Haven't you ever seen a kid in grade school feel dizzy after getting a flu shot or polio vaccine. Same thing here. Hopefully that's all it was.

**Symian** · 12-13-2003, 01:54 AM

****, man. Scary, hopefully you got the needle out before he fell. The first time I shot in the delt it made me sick and I almost threw up. Don't know if it was the pain, cuz it ****in hurt or the AS.

**Red Ketchup** · 12-13-2003, 12:13 PM

Am I the only one who actually ENJOYS giving himself injections? I slide the needle in slooooowly, let it work it's way where it wants to go in the muscle... then inject real slow... I believe in the 1 minute per CC rule.

I must be some sort of masochist...

**Dude-Man** · 12-13-2003, 12:37 PM

I pass out regularly usually about 5-10 seconds after i inject..

heroin.

jk of course.. jeez guys, grow some sack! i used inject saline sub q for fun when my dog first went diabetic.
