About me:
Early 30s, 5'7", 135lbs
Smoker (Cigarettes 1/4 pack a day) Non Drinker
Bicycle Messenger so I pretty OK shape health wise.


I was an opiate addict for 5 years. After a bad bicycling accident I was given my first Vicodin script. A pill a day turned into a 20, twenty, 10/325 Norco a day habit. On some days i would take up to 40+. Sometimes close to 60 pills a day. I usually used the cold water extraction method to extract as much APAP from the pills and devised my own extraction filtration device.

I quit cold turkey last August, went through hell and along the way picked up a Xanax addiction. I would take 3-4 ladders, 2mg pills a day, around 8mg xanax total. In February of 2011 I switched from Xanax to Diazepam gradually using the Ashton Method and and have been tapering ever since, from 60mg nightly diazepam to currently 5mg nightly diazepam. Every two weeks I drop I taper 1mg of diazepam. I also take .02 clonodin to sleep.

Last Saturday I bought half a G of coke. I divided it up and snorted half of it. Didn't of pretty lit up and later did the other half. High was intense and I didn't like it much, but was my first time. I bought a gram the following Tuesday morning and did bumps all day and night. I smoked some, in a cigarette... I snorted some, I cooked some in baking soda and smoked it. I lost a whole bunch if it when it spilled on the rug.

On Wednesday morning I bought another gram. And started bumping all day small amounts to rather large ones, at least for me. This final gram lasted me until this Monday morning, doing smaller and smaller bumps. I really felt the high and enjoyed it. I also felt the urge to want more and to do larger amounts!

So now I don't have any and I'm I'm wondering what to expect? Will I "crash" and will it be horrible? Did I do the right thing by tapering down the usage? Will it be hell from one weeks worth of use, similar to kicking opiates? It's Monday night now and I feel ok, maybe cuz I take my 5mg diazepam and clonodine.

Any advice or feedback would be appreciated!!!
 
Shouldn't be too bad at all. It's nothing like opiate withdrawal, especially not from just a week's use (even better if you were taking clonidine during it). Tapering was a good idea. Worst case might be sleepy and a little blah for a few days.
 
I used coke for a couple of years regularly and for me the crash started almost within minutes of the last line, I tended to do large amounts in one run 2-3Gs. I found the firt 3-4 hours would be hell without my booze (i dint do benzos at that time) and even them it was nasty. but afre those initial hours I would be pretty much fine. That's the way it worked for me like a compressed comedown compared to most other drugs, once iit was over that was it I'd feel fine, maybe a little low, usually out of self loathing for my usage but pretty much OK.
Normally I's recommend Diaz for the way down but looking at all the work you've done to get yourself tapered down this may not be such a good idea, my daily Diaz intake is still in 3 figures:\

The benzo figures you are talking about sound fine just make sure you don't start making a habit of coke then benzos or you'll end up in trouble, give it a miss for a good while, I fell int regular use really quickly and it went on for a couple of years and when I stopped the booze really kicked in....and wehn I stopped the booze the Benzos took over.

Have fun stay safe

Best Wishes
 
A five hour panic attack laced with compulsive cravings.

A few quick acting benzos, such as lorazepam, can help significantly as a prn.
 
My coke provider is highly trustworthy and honest and in hindsight I should have asked its purity and what it was cut with, it didn't seem shitty. I'm yay naive. I'm not saying this was uncut raw, but im sure it's decent

A: Assuming its top notch, what I'm gathering is I can consume a G on a good day starting in the morning, enjoy the day sleep It off and be OK the next day?

B: Assuming I did half a g a day for a few weeks and kicked, would the crash be awful?

C: what are the side effect of symptoms of a sudden coke crash, are we talking merely a mental state of wanting more, or will I be bed ridden with the shakes convincing those around me that i got the flu again?

D: enjoy it for what it was and look back! Best scenario.
 
If you're naive to cocaine and doing a gram per day, it's nowhere near "good" in quality...
 
Everyone is different, but there is no free ride, you will suffer some come down however you use, and obviously the more drugs and the longer the run the worse they are going to be.

For me its more like a panic attack at its worst and more like mild anxiety at its least, hence the reason many take Benzos to relieve those symptoms, or alcohol, which allot of users will be taking whilst doing the coke which is not a great thing as forms another more toxic chemical in the body but the 2 go together so well many will use this way.

If you have Benzos you should be fine, juts don't start taking coke all the time and taking more and more of each, it can creep up on you and before you know it not only have you blown you Benzo taper (nice work by the way) but you've got an expensive coke habit on the go which will feed anxiety and drive you to more Benzos
 
Thanks ATM. Coke is not my doc but it was fun enough to try again one day. Thanks. Benzo WD was hell but my doc read the Ashton manual and ok'd my use of it.

I've been drug naive my whole life and the Vicodin was my first foray into illicit drug use aside from alcohol which I dislike. And yes knowing I haz an addictive personality I should stay away from coke.

Thank you all for your input. That said if coke lasted 6-8 hours i would probably reconsider. 20 minutes of fun and bumping all day long achieving a lesser high isn't worthwhile.

Best To all
 
No problem my friend, we all try and share our experiences here so you will always get a balanced opinion, if your really luck people will disagree and properly lose it, that's the really fun bit =D
 
Cocaine doesn't cause withdrawals, but you're gonna have a few paranoid, sleepless hours. You may have to up your benzo dosage that one day. No offense, but it seems you have a somewhat addictive personality, so I wouldn't advise doing coke much more, particularly as the side effects from coke are gonna synergise with the side effects of benzo withdrawal, to make an altogether unpleasant experience.

And as others have said, coke specifically, as a stimulant, is the epitome of overpriced, unpure drugs. It's a very pointless and expensive habit to pick up.
 
it seems like you got decent coke, real pure cocaine from personal experience will leave you throwing your head back with a numbing sensation that starts in your gums, and works its way all over your body, i have done fish scale and i loved it nothing like pure coke! But you did a loot, and cocaine is a DISGUSTING drug if you misuse it or do it too often, it turns you into a hoarder (someone to who snorts huge lines like a pig) i only do it once every few months and feel classy, otherwise it makes me feel... numb and dumb.

this, although since you've just been doing small bumps I can't see it being a very bad come-down at all.
 
It's Tuesday and 24 hours since my last use. I feel fine, a bit tired but again I'm always tired due to my body healing from all the years of opiate abuse and Benzo tapering.

I don't know the quality but I trust my supplier. It did seem like it was good quality, as it was pure white and somewhat crystalline. I had to break it up a bit to make a fine powder, don't know if that is good or bad. And your right, the sensation is like no other, from the snort to the beating heart to the rush. I was to scared and "wise" to just go hog wild and snort the whole gram. Starting small and titrating up seemed like the right thing to do when trying any drug.

I don't feel much crash or WDs but I do wish like grabbing another G and doing a larger amount. Lucky for me my paycheck is two weeks away and by then I'm sure I'd have forgotten the high.

I don't mean to turn the topic around but is a meth high similar? I've done 60mg adderal before and felt really good. Is that what a meth high is like? I got the connect to some Walter white Blue, just kidding.
 
Search for methamphetamine trip reports to compare styles of high. I've never tried meth.
 
Have u been sleeping normal amounts between days? Honestly doubt u had meth, or u Wudnt have slept at all lol and the comedown happens about 30 mins after ur last use and is really only bad for an hour where u feel panicky like u did something wrong and then u gradually get back to normal. Cocaine is not a drug that makes u physically dependent like opiates so u will not get to many physical withdrawals in the days following. U might feel a bit sad and kinda warn out, lethargic and what not but u won't be bed ridden, puking and to fatigued to function or anything like that.
 
It was coke I used, not meth. The question regarding meth was a separate question unrelated to the original question. I was just wondering if the high from coke was similar in any ways to a meth high, since I've always been curious about meth.

During the week long coke binge, I did sleep somewhat normally. I didn't seem to have a major crash probably due to a few factors such as length of use, tolerance and I take benzos nightly, which are what appears to be the suggested drug to take to help ease a crash.

Thanks for the final bit if info re opiates/coke. Im glad to know that coke doesn't bring along the same after effects that opiates do, in the sense of agonizing days and weeks of WDs.

Honestly, aside from craving it mentally, and wanting more close to 48 hours after my binge, I was expecting worse. Thanks to all blue lighters for the nonjudgmental and honest feedback

Had I posted this in another forum, I would have gotten a tirade of Why Would Yous from people addicted to other stuff giving incorrect information.
