I am currently on a comedown from 144 mg of ritalin. It fucking sucks. I can't stop grinding my teeth. Im really tired but i cant sleep. And I am generally depressed...Would smoking weed help with this? If not what?
 
Weed can increase the feelings of anxiety that come with stimulant comedowns. The best option would be to drink a lot of fluids, and get some food in your stomach. After you've done that you can have a couple of beers if they're at your disposal.
 
Seroquel (quetiapine) which is a dopamine antagonist. Roughly around 50mg to 100mg (personally,as I weigh 150lbs/65k) usually brings me down within an hour. Xanax (alprazolam) seems to be of help as well. Just don't over do it trying to come down, I've known a soul to pass on that way from trying to come down off of cocaine (which is similar in chemical structure and action to methylphenidate).
 
Chances are he doesn't have any DAR antagonists or benzos.

Eat a meal of something that goes down easy like fruit. Drink milk or a shake for protein, take a multivitamin if you have, drink a few glasses of water, take a shower, smoke a bowl, and then just chill doing what feels relaxing until you get sleepy.
 
Coingestion of alcohol (ethanol) also increases the blood plasma levels of d-methylphenidate by up to 40% -- according to wikipedia, resource was cited too

It also combines to form ethylphenidate, but it only produces the mostly inactive isomer. I tried drinking alcohol to aid the comedown of my first ritalin experience, just made it stronger and last longer. I've since used alcohol to strengthen the effects during the experience.

Like Venrak said, nourish yourself. Eat some food, drink some water, take care of yourself. Comedowns from stims can be less harsh when you maintain nourishment during the experience and don't deprive yourself. Vitamins too, specifically b-complex. On my recent ritalin binge I neglected to take any vitamins to counter the depletion. Ended up with a b-vitamin deficiency and a vein in my arm broke as a result. Or, atleast I read that veins can break open like mine did with a b-vitamin deficiency so I presumed that was the case. Nothing serious though, just bruising around the vein for a few days and it took care of it's self and healed after a few more days.

Someone said weed can increase anxiety from the comedown. That can be true, but I never experienced any anxiety from stims or cannabis. I was able to smoke some during a comedown and get some benefit from it. Go ahead and try it if you're not prone to anxiety from either of them. Kratom was usually enough to counter the comedown for me. Opiates/opiods or benzos are common choices for stim comedowns.
 
Thanks guys. I smoked a few bowls up until now and I finnaly feel the same as I did before. It was a long ass comedown, and again, really was not worth it. Now I can finnaly sleep and I think ill be out for a while. Peace.
