Dealing with the comedown...

so there's a rave tonight that I've been planning to go to for the past 2 weeks. I've been planing on rolling, but I'm having second thoughts because I'm seriously dreading the comedown afterwards.

Comedowns for me are usually pretty bad. If I got super clean pills, then that can be a lot more tolerable, but that's not always guaranteed of course.

From your guys experience do you find that taking more then 1 pill dramatically makes the comedown worse? It's been a long time since I haven't re-dosed on E. I'm thinking maybe that has something to do with the harsh comedowns.

Also what do you use to cope? I don't have any prescriptions laying around unfortunately - no opiates, no sleeping pills, no xanax - just alcohol and over the counter stuff.

Is there anything you guys use (non prescrip) that can help you with sleep & feeling better overall? My IDEAL comedown would be able to get to sleep (most important), and then have something when i wake to help me feel a bit better (marijuana is out of the question for me right now). I do have 5-HTP, and I find that that does help a bit. I've tried over the counter sleeping pills like dyphenhramine (or w/e) but those just make me feel way too weird. Any natural supplements, or anything at all that you guys have success with?
 
Probably not what you want to hear but I just don't use when I'm dreading the comedown. I'm going to a rave this weekend and I will be abstaining for that very reason. Just not worth it right now.

lol , thing is I don't see how you CAN"T dread the comedown. I mean it's like the elephant in the room.


But I guess my thought was.. maybe I'll just use 1 pill and not re-dose tonight, and I was wondering how you guys think that would benefit the comedown... and also what I can do afterwards to help (aside from taking 5-htp) . Do you guys find that alcohol helps, or is there anything else you have in mind?

I should also note that I haven't done E in like 3-4 months or so. I'm not a regular or heavy user at all. But I've found that all my recent comedowns (except the last which were very clean pills) were absolutely terribad... but I had also taken maybe 3-4 pills in those instances...
 
A high dose of MDMA at a rave is bound to make you feel strange when you comedown. You'll probably not get a chance to sleep for a while.

The best advice I can give you is to explore the rave sober, or on some other recreational drug of your choice, before you actually take MDMA. Plan meetup spots, check out the locals and tourists and whatnot. A after a few hours in, you can start dosing.

I notice a difference on the comedown between one and two pills. I usually only take one.

ya that sounds like a good idea. Taking more then one seems like beating up on your brain a little too much.

Any other tips/advice any of you experienced users have?
 
Instead of taking a bunch of pills take one (or however many you need to have a good roll) and once that high starts to dissapear just smoke weed instead of redosing.
Then you your comedown won't be as harsh, and your roll will go back up
 
Maybe try taking less. As Damien pointed out, the more you take the worse the comedown.

One other thing I noticed from your OP is that you seem to have trouble sleeping afterwards??

That caused bells to go off for me as it suggests that your not getting mdma as the only active ingredient if at all.

sleeping after only using mdma is very easy.

Maybe you are actually using piperazines which not only make sleep very hard but also cause much worse comedown problems than mdma.

I strongly advise you to test your gear.

This. Pipes can cause very very bad and drawn out comedowns. Personally, I don't mind coming down from pure MDMA, it just feels like going back to normal, and I'm usually ready for that after a good 3-4 hours of rolling. I'm usually able to just drift off to sleep easily after coming down.

However, one other natural sleep aid you could pick up is melatonin. Your body produces it to induce tiredness, it can also produce very vivid dreams. Taking supplements of it before bed can help make you feel more tired, so you can drift off to sleep and have a decent sleep easier.
 
for me, an MDMA comedown is an MDMA comedown....

whether its like 75mg or more in the ballpark of 300-400mg, im waking up with a headache.....

pot.... sleep.... wake up, try to eat.... smoke more pot... sleep some more... rinse and repeat....
 
I know you dont have any scrips lying around, but my friend who I usually roll with takes ambien for sleep. That shit works wonders after a roll. 5mg and im out like a light and feeling pretty normal the next morning.

So for me ambien to pass out. Then the next morning some weed and red wine to get me feeling good again. Also 5-htp daily for 4 or 5 days afterward. I don't even feel the comedown, and all im left with are a nice afterglow and some good memories. I take alpha-lipoic acid, vitamin C and vitamin E for about a week before the roll to try to prevent neurotoxicity.

And yes, your comedown will almost definitely improve if you only take one pill.

Vicious comedowns are a good time to take a break. My comedowns become non-existent if I take some time off. If I do it every month for 3 or 4 month I start to get a tiny bit of the blues afterward and I know its break time.

A good break will diminish the comedown.
 
I would suggest trying to get some benzos and trazodone. Understandably, if you can't get that, I agree with the above poster that melatonin works great. I take twice what it says on the bottle.
 
I hate comedowns; sorta like eating too many sweets and feeling really sick afterward. You cant have that much fun without some sort of punishment I suppose ;/
 
Valerian herbal pills are a great strong sleep aid.

I don't want to use corporate designed prescription pills.

Natural herbals are the best, ya know?
