coke comedown-feel so sad

[killarava2day]

Is this normal? It makes me feel as bad as coming off mdma, not as emotional, just flat and sad. Is this from dopamine depletion? How can it be overcome? I like to find foods that make me feel better, like bananna's for seretonoin. Something that worked for coke would be cool

That happened to me too on occasions when i was still doing coke. Part of the reason was cos there was either no more, or my nose was so stuffed that i couldnt snarff anymore, or my body was sore from doing too much so i couldnt do more.
Also the thought of how much money i had just wasted.....
not sure of the medical reasons, but these were my reasons for going into a major depression...this sometimes lasted for a week, or til i got some more.
my advise, and i may be biased as i have been clean now for 2 1/2 months (yay for me) is not to have any.....that would stop you from feeling so sad.

Yes, it's completely normal. Cocaine is an internationally reknown as an absolute bastard when it comes to come downs and after effects.
I'm sure I speak for a fair few people when I say that coming down off a decent dose of cocaine can be just as bad as coming down off MDMA... If not worse!
Yes, the come down is the result of depleted dopamine levels. Your CNS (central nervous system) returning to normal operation after a period of such intense stimulation is also responsible.
The only thing I'm aware of which will see the end of the after effects you're experiencing is... Time. I've had post cocaine depression/anxiety/irritablity last up to a week.
Sorry I can't shed much more technical info on cocaine withdrawl. Just hang on tight, occupy yourself, and you'll be fine before long

Cocaine in my opinion is just not worth it for reasons you have suffered through. Not so much depression for me, but more just a really shitty feeling, etc, that leaves me wanting something I didn't gain through the night. If you want closeness and talkativability (is that a word, heh) do some heroin, any opiate really, or obviously do the longer lasting smoother comedown, meth. Coke just really isn't a useful/fun drug.

i still dont understand why people flock to COCA...i have talked to many users and read many reports on it and the high as compared to the after effects just arent worth it IMO...what a high that lasts for 15 minutes is worth feeling like shit for an hour or so??i think not..

 

[Cokeboy]

Yeah, everybody claims the high isn't worth it. Yet they still keep coming back. One of the most psychologically addictive drugs on the planet.
If you can take that first line or two, enjoy it, and then leave it aside, all is well. It IS worth it.
But once on the coke merry-go-round, it's very hard to stop.
Funny stuff, coke.

Yes cocaine is notorious for making many false promises. The low is often lower than its respective high. But its short lasting qualities can prove beneficial in comparison to longer lasting alternatives such as amphetamines. For an already underweight individual as myself, cocaine only temporarily curbs the appetite, while amphetamines anorexic effects are quite long lasting. Then again, i wouldnt come within 10 feet of cocaine if I was unequipted with an appropriate amount of equally powerfull depressants (preferably not alcohol).
But yes cocaine does suck......but you have to tame the beast that is sadness. Then you can appreciate the kingoftheworldism that cocaine may offer. And for those of who dont think cocaine works(internasally), smoke it as a freebase.....

Crashing from coke sucks big time. There are only three ways around it.
1. Do more
2. Eat some benzo's
3. Quit
Coke is a lot like fucking Pam Anderson. Sure your fucking the hottest girl ever. But when it's over you got to wounder if the hepatitis was worth it...

Personally i dont understand why people find the coke comedown bad!Its nothing compared to "MARATHON".I can sleep i can eat,and my dick is still there.
The only problem for me is the urge for more wich usually lasts for a few days or so..
Coke is a great drug mentally and it will just get better and better!

 

[brazils-on-xtc]

the only reason i promised myself never to touch that shit again were the comedowns - low sure is much lower than its high - if I could deal with the comedown i would love it...as someone said above its not like depression, its like a whole shitty feeling, you spend the next days thinking how dumb, stupid, weak, ashamed you were for doing it, and you dont even know why but you keep thinking that anyway...on my last time i promised that even tho it may seem rewarding i wont do it any more, and ive had the chance to do it lots of times since then, i still kept my word of not doing it anymore...just remember yourself how it was last time and you will know its not worth it...at least for me.

y'all on bluelight and don't know what to do? dopamine loss, and to a lesser degree, serotonin loss is what causes the comedown from both coke and meth to feel so bad.
go to vitamin shoppe and getcho' hands on 3 things: DLPA, L-Tyrosine, and 5-htp. if you feel sad, take 100mg 5-htp 1/2 hour before each meal of the day, and 300mg on empty stomach before bed WITH some aerobic exercise.
if your sadness is mostly lethargy, take 500-1500mg of both dlpa and tyrosine together (you'll have to experiment w/ the dosage) WITH plenty of rest.
very VERY important after a drugfest is regular meal consumption, exercise, and rest. start this ASAP. i know this seems obvious, but it really does work. also combining chicken w/ milk is extremely high in absorbable tyrosine. the pill variety just isn't the same.
no more comedowns ever at all from anything anymore for me, at least.

very cute!

I wouldn't say this is a normal feeling but it happens to me on occasion. Everybody always bashes coke on these boards but there is nothing else like it, besides sex. As for the comedown's from coke, there not always sad but there rarely plesant. The only real cure for crashing on coke besides doing more coke i are benzo's. They always ease the come down...

Alcohol is one of the best remedies for a coke come down. It affects dopamine levels and relaxes you.

Yeah, eating chicken with milk is TOTALLY going to ease a cocaine come down!
Come on, dude. You know that's not going to make any noticeable difference. And you know that it's more effective than taking some crap from GNC. You know why? Because that stuff from GNC doesn't really work.
That's why Bluelighter's don't waste their money on garbage that's no more effective than eating a sugar pill for the placebo.
As everyone else said, the cocaine low is pretty much unavoidable if you use cocaine.
Eating healthy and exercising will help you recover from drug use faster, but you can be the healthiest person on earth and use cocaine and you're still going to feel like shit when you come down.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned it, but GHB/GBL are extremely good ways to come down. In fact, I rarely if ever do lines until I have just some up from the G. This synergy creates an amazing high that for me isn't quite as good as rolling, but its up there. You can repeat the doses until you are ready to come down, and then quit doing lines and just do smaller amounts of G until you are relaxed enough to sleep. For me, this is the only way to do Coke. You use less, and it feels SOOOO much better than coke by itself.
