speed comedowns - how the fuck do you cope...

[Box]

...without benzos? I smuggled some Xanax from Thailand from my last visit, but now I am out, and that basically means that I wont be able to do speed anymore, because Im a real chicken who cant handle the fucking torment of a comedown.
I know, I know - alcohol...but man, it just doesnt cut it.
Guess I dont have a question for real - Im just bitching (guess why).

Hmmm, some people like to smoke weed, and I'm sure if you could get your hands on some low level opiates, those would help too.
How are you administering the meth? Different forms of administration have different comedowns. Smoking is supposedly the worst comedown (though I personally wouldn't know), snorting is bad but better than smoking, IVing I would personally place as the next best comedown, though I'm sure many would disagree. Orally, the comedown ain't that bad at all. Perhaps you should experiment with doing drugs different ways and see how that changes the comedown for you.
Other things that help the comedown:
-drinking lots of water, during and after your tweaking session (this is really important, you'd be amazed by how much it helps)
-vitamins, and some sort of food/soda to boost your blood sugar
-intense exercise; it will tire you out and help flush toxins out of your body....it's also fun to workout when you are no longer really tweaking but still feeling a little wired (don't exercise when you are actually rushing as you could injure your heart)

I totally agree with the above post. Vitamins, water food, and exercise. These things help more than anything. Even better than other drugs! Besides being good for you exercise gets you up and going instead of sitting around thinking about how bad you are coming down. Eating also helps boost your blood stream to get whtever you were on out of your system.
Hope this helps you. I am not a believer in taking other drugs to come down from something you already took unless you over did it and really need some help. The comedown is part of the experience, if you can't handle it maybe you shouldn't do them.
This is just my opinion, you have to decide for yourself.

First and foremost. drink water. Keep
hydrated. This will prevent the "hangoveer"
feeling. Second, pot helps a lot. You don't
really concentrate on anything in particular.
and almost seems to give you visuals. When
you finally wake up, EAT. Campbell's
Vegetable usually works out best for me.

try smokin some weed. i'm pretty sure it'll take that crap edge off the comedown though. i guess i'll find out cause in on some speed and weed right now and this feels too damm cool.
buh byes for now ;p

 

[gun toting hip gansta]

i find speed comedown is one of the worst. Smoke my way through it till so stoned pass out and sleep. ALtho last time had no pot and it was hell, laying in bed, staring at the wall for 6 hours, waking up, sitting in chair staring at wall for rest of day. Would NEVER do speed knowing i have no pot ever again

 

[akshEn74]

HEROIN for sure....unfortunately i dont have any now and im coming down from a 2 day dexamphetamine binge,and i rareley use speed so the comedowns generally suck(except with Heroin

)....anyways the wine,pot and diazepam im taking at the moment is helping a lot....hopefully i can sleep soon!...ah well...goodnight

 

[akshEn74]

Oh yeah i forgot.....go to a doctor and say you have alcohol withdrawls(not real bad but enough so its fucking up your sleep,work,eating etc)....and voila....you should have a script for 50 5mg diazepam(sometimes better benzo's),and there ya go some benzo's to come down on....heroins still better...and if your in Aust and over 20 you have to be an idiot not to pull this off....
....Good luck

 

[Icehead]

Failing the above suggestions,try not thinking too much about the comedown ie read a book or magazine,listen to music (low volume mood music ),watch some TV ,have a shower or bath (very relaxing for the muscles and brain),have some hot milky porridge,etc.
But above all do not concentrate on the problems and crap in your life.

 

[PhreeX]

Mood music? Magazines? I guess you might have success with that... of course you could always pray to the lord Allah, or go running on the early AM hours, or perhaps do some chairty work.... personally, it's either benzos or opioids - or of course more meth...

good ol antihistamines work for me...
dimenhydrinate (Dramamine), diphenhydramine (Benadryl), doxylamine (Unisom, also found in Nyquil)...they'll all get you drowsy...

 

[beanfun]

If you are planning to use any of the above mentioned to try to sleep you better know how your body reacts to them. Yes, for most people they will make you sleepy, but for some they have the opposite effect and you will be bouncing off the walls without any Meth. Be careful and aware of your own body. Just a thought...

Your funny PhreeX ,LOL,(sarcastically) no I dont beleive in Allah or God,we are all just particles spinning and vibrating in the ether caught in the fourth dimension,waiting for the orbits to decay.
I personally have no problem when I'm coming down,then again I'm not new at it.
The more times you do it the easier it should get when crashing , the body and brain acclimitezes quite rapidly.

opiates and speed go hand in hand.

 

[Tribulus]

Unfortunatly, I know how it feels. The best help for a tortureous speed comedown can be found in opiates and GHB. Yes, take a couple cappers or pop a few killers-and you will again see the sun shining....

alchohol doesnt work for me.. i get so sick.. so usually, I just smoke some weed or do a little bit more speed, like a baby line, just to bring me up a little, but not enough to get me spracked.

One word and the ultimate tweeker tool.....Scrabble. Actually any type of board game that involves a little creativity and thought will work. Right now we play trouble, scrabble, spit, chess(my personal fav) and so on. I find its also best to keep with friends, when u get stuck by yourself it just makes u concentrate on how u dont have ne more meth left, or that you have to get to sleep. But passing time playing games, smoking weed(another thing i couldnt blow glass without) What about OTC meds like nytol? Theres lots of ways to keep you mind off of your comedown. I dunno i like being cracked out and acting all stupid with my friends best weekends of my life have been spent couped up in a studio apt with 4-7 other people sniffing glass.
peace

The reply above mine is a good example of the first signs that methamphetamine psychosis (acute) is setting in.. he says he has been up for a period of "4 days" and his post is a reflection of that... Scrabble? Yeah, that type thing is a real hoot when yer *tweaking*, but when comming off meth you don't want to extend anymore brainpower then it takes to open the bottle and grab another [insert benzo of choice] .. we would play board game for hours when wee were speeded, but once we started crashing it got real simple, you grab a drink, find a warm place to lay down, and [insert benzo of choice];;
