cocaine and sleeping pills

[oli123]

Hello, I have a pretty simple question I did some coke tonight (please don't judge - my life has alot of complications at the moment) I know drugs are not the answer, but everyone deals with problems different . Anyways my question is can I take sleeping pills after doing cocaine . ?

Yes, in most cases. What sleeping pill though?

Generally speaking, after you have achieved your goal and are tired and quite a few hours have passed since your last whatever, yes, you can take like a normal dose of a 'sleeping pill' designed to induce sleep, all the popular ones (all two of them depending on where you live) and even OTC sleep aids. Antihistamines might cause rapid heartbeat and some unpleasant feelings if the dose is too high or time of dosing is too close to your last whatever of coke. a normal dose [whatever wikigoogle says] is fine but seriously, the LONGER you wait the better. (better to avoid mixing sedatives with uppers just in case, who knows what might happen, especially during some difficult life situation, the blend of the two will not necessarily mellow you out and float you into slumber, it might make things seem even more horrible and alter your judgment, which might precipitate god knows what) Wait and separate coke from sleeping pill with as much time as possible. for your own good..

The Wiki Forum is generally for submitting topics, or information about existing topics, for us to collaborate with and include in the ever-evolving Bluelight Wiki - Therefore, I'm going to move this over to Basic Drug Discussion; I'll let the team over there then decide whether the question has been satisfactorily answered

I have some quick thoughts, though, which I hope to prove useful for you:

This is an excellent point. You could run into some serious complications if you combine uppers and downers together too quickly. Valium, nice stuff mentioning the fact that anti-histamines precipitate a faster heart rate. I often get the impression that the general feeling is that because they induce drowsiness, they must also follow the physiological effects of other downers. As you point out - not so! There are other (potentially - see forthcoming!) complications that may arise from the combination of NDRI's like Cocaine, Amphetamines and Cathinones with antihistamines like diphenydramine (Benadryl).

There's one relevant case study I happen to have already had on my computer; here's a link to the full-text PDF:

Intranasal Substituted Cathinone “Bath Salts” Psychosis Potentially Exacerbated by Diphenhydramine. Though not conclusive proof of a contraindication itself, it provides further evidence suggesting that to avoid the combination would be wise.

Yes, in most cases. What sleeping pill though?

This is a really important question, and one reason why I don't quite think the thread deserves to be closed because we need this information from the OP. Case-in-point, cocaine causes a marked spike in blood pressure, tachycardia (rapid heart beat) and, at higher doses (or in combination with alcohol), cardiac arrhythmias - amongst an ocean of other side effects, of course!

If we were to incorrectly assume this "sleeping pill" were an antihistamine or a benzodiazepine, another situation could arise which could, feasibly, result in death. Phenobarbital - which I am prescribed for chronic sleep-onset insomnia - is a long-acting drug of the barbiturate class with a well-documented (even if not 'common') side effect: "Decreased heart contractility." I think the potential picture here becomes pretty clear: You're on a drug that is forcing the heart to contract and expand A.) More rapidly and B.) more forcefully than normal; the addition of a drug that reduces the ability of the heart to meet these demands could result in cardiac arrest.

For Harm Reduction's sake, I echo this sentiment:

Wait and separate coke from sleeping pill with as much time as possible. for your own good..

....and now, take it away, BDD!
