Just a few min after, I feel completely sapped and joyless - until it starts wearing off and I gradually feel good again. It's like a literal anti-drug.
 
It's common to feel like shit and be depressed after the hit wares off... but, not really when you're supposed to be flying high. Ha. I mean, that rush isn't for everyone so maybe it's just not your cup of tea. That or you're getting very shitty crack.
 
Hmm I don't think that's the "usual" response, not for me and people I've been around at least. Usually there's a huge dopamine release right after the hit, you feel great, heart races, etc. And you just sit back and let it hit you for 5-10 minutes... Depression is when you run out, that's cocaine in general. Usually paranoia starts to get rampant by the 4th good hit. Urgh I don't even like talking about the stuff.

Yeah me neither. I can't talk about IV coke or crack without my palms getting sweaty and my heart starting to race. It really wigs me out. The psychologically compulsive aspect to that addiction is incredibly intense, to the point where just a memory, a song, a sight, can trigger literal physical symptoms in you from fiending so hard.
 
Every time I hear the word crack or read it, I cringe. I don't even want to think about those nights I spent smoking crack.

But to answer your question, yes it's very common to become depressed. Think about it, you just went from being superman to normal after smoking crack.

THIS.

Seriously. That's exactly what happens to me. If I think about IV coke or crack, I get warm and heart starts pounding. When I was smoking daily, all I would have to do was imagine the exhale of that first hit and I was literally in my car on the way to dude for a sack. Ok officially done with talking about this drug but you're right the psychosomatic response is astounding.

Some people literally get the opposite effect from certain drugs. This is a scientific fact - certain highs simply don't work for certain people. You can check Google, I'm not lying.
 
Stimulants in all varieties can cause depression, even after the 1st dose.

Is it because the receptors are depleted? I don't know but are stimulants worth the risk towards your health, mind & body?

Not that downers are better but it seems to me when I have taken stims, depression came on quickly soon after, not so with opiates.

Probably not uncommon at all. That's probably why it ruins so many people so quickly. Hit it, feel like shit so do some more, and before you know it the whole stash is gone and you feel like a bum who flushed away a ton of cash in mere minutes. I wonder if there are any regular crack users who have their lives completely in order.

Snorting coke is a far superior and manageable experience. At least it can be.

Not judging btw. Just saying that shit is too high powered.
 
Of course. What do you expect? Why do you think so many people refuse to use Crack/Meth/Coke/MDMA without a stash of Opiates or Benzos for the comedown? It sure ain't coincidence. You gotta pay to play baby.
 
I putting my vote in for bad crack. Not saying someone can't hate it but with a rush like that feeling shitty in a few minutes sounds like a bad rock.

Use to joke that they would cook up all the shit that makes you comedown and that's why bad crack is like instant horrible comedown. Yes I know that is not how it works at all.
 
Coke in general makes me completely space out, to the point where I catch my self staring at walls without a thought in my mind. I wouldn't say I get "depressed" but both coke and freebase coke were depressing highs that I don't plan on experiencing ever again. I get even get this effect off quality coke that will have my friends off the wall paranoid, never smoked crack though so I guess this is sorta irrelavent.
 
^ Yeah, I get head spacey on good coke. It's like being stoned almost. The bunk shit I was getting before this had me all jittery and grinding my teeth and shit. Very uncomfortable, terrible come downs/

With both drugs, there's certainly a point where you've done too much and just feel like complete shit. I find it so much easier to get there with crack. The last time I did it, I smoked a little over a 10 rock and during the hit I got that feeling where I realized I was too fucked up and the come down was going to be a bitch. I probably would've been fine with half the amount, but just couldn't stop when I should have.

Tossed the pipe in the garbage and haven't touched the stuff since.
