My final trip report.
I've been doing dph off and on for almost 8 months now. I didnt beleive anyone when they said this shit is the most addicting drug they have ever done. They indeed were not lying.
After about a month I began to actually enjoy the feeling of DPH. That was my first problem... At around the 5-6 month point I had gained a tolerance and started taking double what I took day 1. A month later I doubled again...
Now....
This is where I learned my lesson. Just last night I decided to take a wopping 2000mg (I took 1200mg every day before this). Everything was totally normal at first, trippin my balls off. Then I get RLS for the first time in months. The restless legs turned into restless body. That turned into my first seizure. Lasted about 10s or so and I blacked out after this.
According to my family after my first seizure I fell unconscious and was brought to the ER where I had another seizure, had heart arrhythmias and tachycardia,156bpm and came to afterwards. Immediately another seizure. And fell back unconscious. At this point the doctors gave me major muscle depressants so I'd stop seizing but I was still unconscious. Stayed in my coma for about an hour...
I woke up 2 days later not remembering literally anything except starting to get the RLS and it getting worse. My nurse said if they hadnt given me midazolam (anti seizures)and magnesium (anti arithmetic/tachycardia) I wouldve almost for sure died of a heart attack....
This drug is fine... Until its not... This was my wakeup call and now I vow to never pop another pill except MDMA
