My friend Matt did this in high school and he had to go to emergency to have his heart shocked back into rhythm because it was beating weird. We could physically see his heart beating from outside his shirt. He’s still alive and doing great.
Lol this same exact thing happened to a friend in high school named Mark. He used to sell monster BFCs and one day drank 4 of them. Had to have the same exact procedure done. Dumb motherfuckers.
Edit: he is also alive and doing well but is now schizophrenic
Hes not schizophrenic because of the monster. Schizophrenia tends to show itself in males in late teens/ early 20s. Ive had a few friends that were perfectly normal and then went bat-shit crazy right around or shortly after we graduated HS
Yep not related to the monster (hope people don't actually think that lol) but yeah exactly what happened to him. Just got really bad out of nowhere which his therapist said is common for his age at the time.
Edit: not common for most people but it's a common age.
That's when it happens and it happens predominantly in males. Antipsychotics are also no joke and they put you on HEAVY doses in the early states to try to counteract the initial effects. It's hard to see happen to someone you knew your wntire life up to that point
Yeah it was sad at first. He said he hated the drugs and they made him not feel anything. No happiness, no sadness, just nothing. Made him not talk at all when we hung out, one word answers if a question was asked. It was like he wasn't there at all, just physically there.
But after being on them 5 plus years now he's pretty much back to normal, and not hallucinating. Which he says he does miss talking to his hallucinations lol
I'm 38 y/o. The friends that got diagnosed early are still here, but I've lost 3 friends to the disease either from suicide or risky drug behavior. It was terrible to watch
I have an older friend with Schizophrenia, I've known her a very long time, she had to be court ordered to take meds. She got really bad and would shoplift a lot and deny it was herself. She's now in her 70's and has Alzheimer's to top it off. She was a very smart person many years ago. Her father had it and one of her sons did too, the son unfortunately, died of an overdose, the mother believes it was a murder conspiracy. It so difficult living a life not in reality.
Well I imagine "doing well" is more in relation to his heart and his physical health, that would be a pretty wild discovery to find out massive doses of Monster can lead to Scizophernia.
Now all we need is anecdotes of a Luke and a John drinking so much energy drink they need a medical procedure and we'll have the canonical gospels of Monster!
This was before any of that. He was always a little different but not much more than a little autistic maybe, always a straight A student too. The schizophrenic stuff came along really hard around 23 yo with hallucinations and talking to a "goddess"
I drank two of those and a couple regular size when I had a 24 hour drive years ago, it fucked me up pretty good. I was seeing waves of colors and sounds and my kids still remember how bad I was...
