Yo peeps,
I notice we don't really have a thread for people on comedown from stimulants. Thiught it may be handy where advice could be given, all in one place on thinga to help people get relief such as re-hydration, vitamins n so forth. When research this topic I never found anything on comedowns that wasn't related to a specific stimulant. This would, hopefully, benefit people whom have not yet tried stimulants, see the differences in comedown from one person to another as well as people react differently to the same stim from one person to another.
This is a harm reduction site after all n for those who have not yet tried stims n just see the fun side (or what they want to see) it could help in, not necessarily preventing them from stimming, but to keep them safe n to look after themselves during the comedown phase, and also to make them aware that nothing is 'wrong' with them - they are merely coming down from the stimulating affects of the drug, they will recover n this is temporary.
I know that a lot advise benzos but in the interest of harm reduction can we look at other suggestions to aid sleep such as eating a heavy meal, small drink of alcohol n so forth. Please be assured that I'm not criticising here but some people have either had benzo addictions n wish to stay away from them or are (in my opinion, rightly) afraid of them. Not saying not to mention them as I'm not a mod n don't have that right but am asking as a fellow member, could we offer other suggestions first?
Be safe people
