Allright so I've decided to quit cocaine three weeks ago... did a full day, then caved. In the meantime, I touched crack again and this time, even though I still didn't like the buzz much (better like the cocaine high) I fell for the taste and smoked more and more.

Now I want to stop both, I tried a couple times without much success (did a 36 hours cold turkey, was proud, but it was shitty AS FUCK, I stopped after a big two day party)
Now I'm wondering if I sould take one beast at a time? do a taper off instead of going cold turkey? Should I sleep them off or do as much activity as I can? How did you get the energy to do something? How long will I have almost no pleasure doing anything...

I want to know what people who got clean of both these drugs experienced. I want to know what I will be going through.

The decision is made, but in the execution, it's been so-so.

Thank you in advance
 
Well given its almost the same drug in a different form, I wouldn't consider the difference between either cocaine / crack to make any significant difference in withdrawal timing, it might, due crack, be a bit more psychologically intensive, but that's pretty much it, physically, i'd think is just 'draining', as such you'll feel anhedonic (no pleasure from anything), rebounds of sleep and anxiety but generally tolerable. Lucky for you (and not) due cocaine short half life, you can push yourself to find balance earlier than later, exercise, diet, nootropics that address your dopamine deficiency and helps with anhedonia, if you got adhd it's a bit of a different story.
How about using something to get you through the first few days?
 
Thanks a lot for this answer.

I will surely put some excercice and going in the forest in the mix to avoid the dullness of the withdrawl.

I am ADHD (medicated with a non-stimulant drug). How will it be different for me with the ADHD?

Besides coffee and energy drink, what substances would help me get through the first few days?
 
Depends what medication you're on. DRI ?
Essentially my friend, your receptors need to find their baseline and balance, and punching them (coke / crack) will only make the damage a little harder to fix, and yes, neuroplasticity is awesome, but you NEED to support it.
How well focused are you on being without it? Or you're looking to regain some control? (You know that's hard as shit). I believe if your CNS needs are addressed, your need to seek coke / crack will diminish and less cravings with time to none.
