Hi there!
I took about 20 Valium (10mg) in the course of the day the other day. Smoked some weed and everything was nice and I felt very good. I know (now) that was too much Valium.
The next day I drank about 1 1/2 liters of wine, smoked weed and took three Valiums that I had left. This was a very, very stupid thing to do. I know (now).
Then I have memory loss what exactly happened next. I woke up in the middle of the night and one of my eyes was so swollen that I could not open it anymore. My bed, shirt and floor was full of blood and my nose was bleeding. I went to emergency and had to stay in hospital for five days because my maxillary sinus had multifragmentary fractures.
My face and nose has recovered mostly. In the worst case it will stay a bit unsymmetrical. But the most frightening thing is that I still have very much problems with cognitive demands. Mostly with memory.
When I came home from hospital I flushed any drugs I had left down the toilet. So I did not touch any drugs or alcohol since then. The whole mess I made is one week ago but I still have great problems with remembering things. E.g. I had to change my passwords nearly every day because I could not remember them anymore. And I still have amnesic aphasia and other cognitive problems. I even could not understand the timetable for subway and took the wrong direction once. I am in neurological care with making a MRT of my brain but I have to wait two weeks for that appointment.
It would be nice to know what exactly happened. But that is not that important to me right now.
My question is if my brain will stay a vegetable for the rest of my life or are my cognitive problems still the aftereffects of the Valium overdose and if I will recover in some time. The doctors told me to relax and not to worry to much. They told me that I probably did not had a brain concussion. But the whole thing really scares me.
As I am a software engineer my brain is quite important for me.
Any info or advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Cheers!
The stupid drug guy
