Cocaine - Experienced - "GIVE ME MORE!" - Cocaine Overdose? Horrible experience.

Coke's comedown is always horrible. It's a very dirty stimulant in that respect. I just don't get it... amphetamines are much better!
 
So what do people do to deal with the comedown? Xanax?

Coke is one of the only drugs that is plentiful in my city that I've avoided because I can't stand the comedowns. Never felt so desperate in my entire life.
 
I don't know the comedowns recently haven't been bad, but I also have stopped using coke basically. I've done it a couple times recently, but stopped my every day use, which I'm very happy about. The comedowns can really suck, especially when you are using coke a lot, you will probably notice the comedowns more.
 
I've only used coke maybe 20 times in my life, at least a month apart, and I find the comedown to be absolutely wretched every time, far worse than any other drug I've ever done by far. I've turned down coke offered to me on numerous occasions and as a result haven't done it in over a year, all because I can't possibly rationalize the brief euphoric peak when I know that I'll have hours of hell to follow. And I really don't turn down drugs that are offered to me very often...

But yeah, xanax or other benzos help a lot, and let you go to sleep. At the time, I didn't have access to any. Now whenever I do any stimulants, I make sure to have a benzo ready for the inevitable comedown.
 
coke does have a bad comedown if you do too much or if its got shitty cuts. i always drink when i do coke, so i dont notice the comdown that much. i do wonder though how amphetamine could make for a shittier comedown. if anything it prolongs the high, and i actually prefer the buzz from speed more than coke. also people say that the amphetamine makes them asocial and sexually turned off. personally when i take speed all i want to do is talk and fornicate. i think its ephedrine that coke is cut with more than amps', which would cause a shity, sketched out high and a bad crash.

for me the comedowns on really good clean coke aren't that bad at all and i can usually sleep 1 to 1.5 hours after my last line..even if i've been doing coke all day long...but this was the wonderful...horny as hell...life of the party...want to listen to mozart kind of shit...it's when stuff gets cut with amphetamine or worse meth or ephedrine that the comedowns are really harsh...actually the only active thing people should cut their coke with is methylphenidate (ritalin)
 
I'm with you, Angelus. Coke makes me social for about a half hour or so, and then I start to get cracked out even if I have more, and then I try to avoid people. Amphetamine lasts for many hours (depending on the form), has less of a comedown, and keeps me SUPER social for the whole time. I mean, seriously, nothing gets me more social than amphetamines.

Also, alcohol definitely does reduce the coke comedown dramatically. If I were to do coke again, I'd definitely make sure to drink with it.
 
That cracked out feeling sucks. Especially when you are sitting there taking your next line, already fucked up as shit, and you just think about everything in like a 3rd person perspection, and just say "What the fuck am I doing?" It sucks when it gets like that, since when I feel like that it sometimes leads to feeling somewhat depressed and/or disappointed.
 
valium is (imho) as effective as xanax without the grogginess the next morning to come down from cocaine without turning into a psycho hose beast. the best thing to do once you start coming down (assuming you don't redose) is to get straight to sleep; and if you don't have or want to take a benzo, a valerian tablet can get you to the land of nod that much faster.
 
Everyone sounds like they've been through the same stuff I went through about 2 years ago when I was doing coke alot..At least an 8 ball a day between me and a friend. I ended up going to rehab because it was the only thing that could possibly help me got off of it. imo coke SUCKS

If anyone reading this has not tried it, DONT.
 
^^ I agree. Fortunately for me, I've done it probably 20 times in my life and have never felt compulsed to do more beyond the initial experience. The comedown always makes me want to stay away for a while. In fact, I've only bought it once. But in general, I feel that way about stimulants. Many of them (especially amphetamines) are so awesome, you really just wish you didn't know something could be so awesome.
 
This thread has a lot of wisdom from people who have been there. I just had to bump this(thread, and line), so other people can see what we have( am currently) going through....which is hell,( in a sense) the separation from the divine mind and the third eye of wisdom, on the comedown.
Stay away from it, even people who say they can use it responsibly, will eventually fuck up once or twice( and go through a really tough experience)
All that money, paying hundreds of dollars to feel like shit..
But the high is so good(justification again, but the bad outweighs the good by 90% ) making the high totally nto worth it1
(well, it;s worth about 10% ofthe money you pay for it)
Think long term life sucesss, and how coke is the oposite of that.

Excellent equation, That's something very truthful there.
A simple concept. that I wish I grasped earlier, before I wasted so much time, life, and money..
yeah, I have regrests, but I don't let them hold me back.. Tommorow brings a new day, a new beggining..
Stick in there folks

Here is apoem I wrote whiel comign down off coke..I also posted it in the ODD forums, but maybe it can help some people here find strength, in the tough comedowns..

It's a prayer:
Pure bliss, but I'm coming down faster, into pure pissed.
Pure wasted, because two grams I've tasted,
What a waste when I think about what else I could have made.
Over 12 hours I've flown, getting blown, and grown( after getting stoned)
"Last time for me," I always say, when I enter hades gates.
Those fiery gates, they tie me down and torture my thoughts.
They lock me up and take what I should have bought,
and they throw it up my nose, what a waste.. what a sweet taste,
for a short while, I was in the groove, and now I am considering my next move.
Half a gram, just to fel good agian, 18 bucks, and for what, a sore nose to the touch?
Yeah, I can't hardly hold a poetic phrase, cause my brain is fried and glazed.
So swweet that glaze, and then you get fat on lack of praise,
fat on the lack of feeling good, in this fucked up maze, ( of life as a Human)
The maze of life, so many tries, give me one more lord, make this comedown nice.
Thanks you for my blessings, and my curses, father, lord, guide me even farther,
So many chances in life, thank you God for giving me your hand to make it right.
The hand of self motivation, that your spirit gave us when you created all of creation.
All of creation, what you have created, you can destroy, like an entire nation.
In one move you can pull me up out of damnation, into the light of your word of salvation.

In the name of Jesus, Amen

Lol, Wtf? You cant say that fairly. I bet alot of drug users on this forum do drugs and dont feel like they are compromising their self respect. I dont.
 
It seems like so long ago I made this thread, but now that you bumped it I realize it hasn't been too long. Unfortunitely I still use coke, but have stopped using daily, now it's every few days. I guess that's a lot better then this bullshit that happened.
 
I find that 1G of Coke will do me and a mate all night and into the next morning and usually by that point I won't feind for more because I'm fed up.
It stops working after a while and I tend just to give up and go home, something I've not been able to do with Ecstasy.

One gram is good enough for you and a friend all night and into the morning?! That's pretty damn good. You guys must just take small bumps to keep a high going... Try getting like a half gram sometime, splitting it in two, and taking those lines (seperated by a little bit of time). Then you will truely know what being coked up is like... Actually I don't condone doing this, since coke is a horrible drug, but in my eyes, thats the only way to do it nowadays to feel a good high... Then an hour later come crashing down and wanting more :(

I don't care how you do it, no single dose of coke, however large, will last for an hour. I've been there and had huge quarter gram lines of some very pure matieral, and let me say that it definitely didnt last an hour. The half life of coke is just way too small for an hour off a line. I wish.

It's not so hard to get cleaned up from coke once you realize that the coke lifestyle and being a cokehead just really sucks, and sucked all along. The thing is that coke brings you so low, and tricks you into believing you never felt better. And so you love the coke because you honestly think you're better off with a coke addiction; you get kinda attached to it, at least I was to mine. And then finally, when you get a bunch of people like this together it becomes a night of crush cut line it up, which must always become fiending all on the ground looking for rocks you dropped and calling dealers at 4 in the morning asking for hookups. I personally never got that low, but some of my friends actually got us coke that way once after we'd run out.

Nowdays I've decided that a quarter gram is all I'll need for the night. Instead of sitting around with some cokeheads fiening and lookin all over the ground for some powder that might have fallen at some point that night, I get a quarter g and go to parties or go to concerts, or for when friends are at my house. I do it at most once a week, and thats where my use has to stay, and has stayed for a while. I thinkI've had enough uppers for a while and lately opiates are so appealing and surprisingly easy to find without any real steady connect.]

Hope this makes sense, I drank the codeine earlier
 
As a card-carrying ex-cocaine addict, I have to agree with you.

But coke is sorta' like an evil, yet beautiful, woman who will eventually destroy you.

I used to shovel in 2 grams before lunch. Now I only use psychedelics and feel so much happier and lucid.

Maybe the self-respect equation I wrote down doesn't work for everyone. Works for me and I think for many others, too.
