The Key to an Easier Comedown...

[Huddwah]

With all the drugs I’ve tried, I seem to have found (repeatedly) that I can always rely on alcohol (beer/wine/spirits depending on the circumstances) as my saviour from an evil comedown.
Not only can you get to sleep when you might otherwise not be able to, but even on the way down, if I continue to drink (perhaps with occasion for a few small lines of speed) just enough to keep me going, I feel unstoppable and charged ready for action.
Does anyone else out there believe in the rejuvenating powers of alcohol?
(at the very least, a small amount of alcohol seems to relax you and take the edge off especially with LSD/e/speed/foxy/mushies not necessarily in combination )

I probably should have read the posts in
"speed comedowns - how the fuck do you cope... "
In any case, I feel that alcohol is a more or less universal coping mechanism for comedowns (though its not for coping with any "real-lfe" problems).
Sorry all... I posted without reading first...

I disagree, alcohol on a comedown may seem like a good idea at the time but it dehydrates you and in most cases metabolizes with the the primary substance (coke, meth, etc) to form something even more neurotoxic than either substance on it's own...
Give me a benzo or small dose of an opiate (along with a ton of water and some vitamins) over the evil firewater anyday.

Alcohol has its place, though I tend to use it *after* I've come down and am just chilling out. It's non-offensive to my body and is a nice way of spending a lazy afternoon when you don't want to move...goes well with pizza too

ewww alchohol sucks for comedowns the headache i get from speed is only made worse by alchohol, and since im 18 its and have to get the assistance of another to get me alchohol im better off in benzo dreamland accompanied by a quart of H2O.

I definately agree with tonedeff, benzos and opiates all the way for a nicer comedown along with alot af water. Always works for me, the only problem is making sure you have the resources when they are needed.

Alcohol might ease the pain but it's REALLY not the best thing - it DOES dehydrate you... a much better idea is some benzos and fruit juice ... yeah, I know, you like the bottle and it cures your woes - it's just not the best...
Also, there are a few other threads that deal with the EXACT SAME THING (dealing with various drug comedowns).... this is being closed for that reason...
