Okay well I'm really confused on what's going on. I got some cocaine, meant to be %85. I had a line then two lines, I felt the euphoria etc butttt after 30 minutes I suddenly get this anxious feeling. Paranoia. Not interested in anything. It's tough to talk with people. I stay still. It's fkn shit and lasts 6 or so hrs.

So now I have given bits out to a few ppl and I kid you not all of them said that they loved it, not jittery, no come down and can sleep okay.

The question: Why the fuck am I getting these comedowns after 30 minutes and feeling horrible like if you've had a gram of md - that feeling you get the next day. It's that! :(

My history from 2007 to 2010 I abused xtc most weekends.
In 2008 I went through nearly 2gs of coke in 24 hrs, I was fucked and THEN I experienced this same feeling I am having now after a line or two... Ever since then whenever I've done coke except for maybe a few times I'm just experiencing that come down feeling.

Now I can't do cone unless I found a solution as to why its only me??

I've had zannies on and off for a few years now.

Is my serotonin gone?
Can I loose my dopamine?

Anyway thoughts, ideas, suggestions would help me out a heap.

Thanks!!
 
I've never snorted or used coke but I smoke crack daily. I can do it all day and never "run out of dopamine." I'm guessing when you don't have a supply of Dopamine in your brain on the come down, your body doesn't have it's "happy" chemical. So your down and out without that feeling and that affects you. Dopamine helps you focus because when you're happy you pay attention to what you're interested in. At Vitamin stores they sell what is called Dopa-bean. Which is a precursor to dopamine. Maybe if you are running low, this will help.
 
Are you saying that 30 minutes after your last dose you felt this way or 30 minutes after you started?.

Obviously with cokes duration of effect its entirely possible to sense a comedown after 30 minutes after the last dose, which is why i personally changed from coke to amps, since i could not deal with the frequent ups and downs caused by coke due to its duration of action.
 
You are experiencing what we like to call a comedown...


This sucks ass in the middle of the day rather than at night.


I would invest in melatonin. It greatly dulls the comedown and is safer than sedatives.

Also, if your coke is cut with amps melatonin will not work.
 
That is very interesting. As i user melatonin in the past can I ask why it works well with coke? I have not heard of this or tried it but it sounds interesting. Is there a reason beyond the standard "sleep assisting" effects that are commonly know?
 
I can't take stims without Benzos, I need benzos anyway but if I take strong stims I might need a couple more, some Zannies on hand would be usefull, 1-2mg when u get that feeling, hopefully it goes away and u can continue ur night, it's just a side effect of stimulants that comes with age, I never used to get it either.
 
I really doubt your cocaine was 85% pure, i've known enough who think their cocaine is that high in purity when in reality it is only around 20-25%.
 
I've had cocaine which was around 80% pure. I had been on a Ritalin binge the days before, and decided to do a small line of the stuff - assuming it was just like all the other crappy cocaine you get in the UK. Nope. I nearly died. If it wasn't for a handful of xanax and phenobarbital I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't be alive today. (Most probably an exaduration, but it feels like that would have been the case).

It induced a severe panic attack, but also suffered hypotensive crisis - I can't remember my readings off the top of my head but they're posted on BL somewhere. I can remember my HR reaching 190 though - at that point I felt faint and thought that this was it. At first I noticed something in the corner of my eye - then it turned into a mild hallucination. I started to sweat, and I noticed my breathing had become rapid, I looked down and I swear I saw my heart beating out of my chest. That's when I hooked myself up to the machine and swallowed the xanax - I took 10 at once to start (5mg) followed by another 4 under the tounge and continually ever 5 minutes taking 2 more until I got a normal heart rate and bp. It took around 7 hours for me to stablize. I took a drug test and it came back highly positive for cocaine (amongst benzos and barbs and methylphenidate - at that time I didn't take opiates). Thank Jesus for me having those benzos and barb at hand. Since then I've never touched coke and never will again.
 
Well that's interesting but majority of people especially in the US have cocaine thats 30% pure or usually even less. I had a friend who worked in a lab and he tested the batch of cocaine that everyone in the city thought was pure and it tested to be only 20%.

Thats why their have been so many overdoses in columbia and other countries with high purity cocaine, overdosing on cocaine is not extremely common and many non tolerant users can do a gram or more their first time, unlike that of high purity coke. Only the real lucky get the real high good stuff.
 
Your body changes everyday....It sounds like your brain just had a chemical change that you may recover from. or may not....Wgo know's. But I would give it up if it causes you that anxiety.......
