whats the best way to cope with a crystal comedown? my friend did crystal last night for her 2nd time and was experiencing shaking, dizziness, lack of appitite, trouble breathing, and major cravings for more. is this withdrawls or the comedown and what can i do to help her?

benzos or opiates...failing access to these, get your friend to drink lots of water, eat something, and if possible sleep
just a typical meth comedown, s/he will survive
 
ya this is completly normal you either tough it out or get more shit. i suggest coming down in beetween purchases
 
sounds like a classic meth comedown to me, but a little more severe than i have ever experienced... how long had she been doing it? was it like a one-dose thing, or an all-out binge?
just do what tonedeff said- make sure she drinks plenty of water b/c meth dehydrates you quickly and efficiently. fruit juice would be better if she's not eating so you can get some calories into her. she should sleep as soon as she's able, she won't feel like it, but you can usually sleep before you'll really feel like you can- just have her lie down in a dark place and do nothing for awhile. she isn't experiencing real physical withdrawl, as meth isn't physically addicting, but it is pretty darn psychologically addicting to the point of manifesting physically.
she'll live, but it won't really be fun and after the acute comedown you have aboua day to a day and a half of feeling really shitty about yourself/everything to look forward to. i would advise NOT to get more- sure it will get rid of the comedown, but it is your first step off of the cliff that is addiction, and you do not want to go there.
ah, i also forgot, there is a pretty recent post dealing with this you can check out:
