First, I have searched, but not found specific info to answer my question.
Now, I'm not talking about the "comedown" (when you feel the drug start to wear off and generally feel shitty). I'm talking about the days afterwards...
After I've had a binge on meth, or even one big dose, it takes about five days to get over it totally. For three or four of these, I'm an irritable, crazy bitch (except for when I'm uncontrollably comatose).
Cocaine, on the other hand doesn't seem to adversely affect me at all (other than the very next day, probably because o flack of sleep and too much alcohol). Then again, coke doesn't really do much for me either. I mean, I'd prefer meth anyday. If I actually had enough coke to get me really high, would I suffer from after-effects similar to the meth, or not?
Comparisons of the after-effects of these two drugs (with scientific background if possible) please...
 
Brisgirl - If you're looking for scientific backing then I would suggest you go digging for yourself.
Start at www.erowid.org and www.lycaeum.org - each possesses useful information.
If you're looking for opinion, well... a meth binge messes up your sleep schedule and your metabolism far worse than does an isolated coke binge. Also, coke is easier on the noggin, stimulating existing reward pathways. It doesn't overdrive the brain nearly as much as meth does.
