Upper vs. Downer People

addies and ritalin are euphoric to me but coming down off them isnt always worth the experiance, I like opiates and benzos. I havent had much experiance at all with stimulants so my opinion might change in the future. I only like stimulants when I feel like I need to catch up with the rest of the world in terms of production.
 
depends on the mood really
I'm more of an upper person, but if im not feeling it, i could be a downer person

i have a very eclectic taste when it comes to drugs, music, people.

Its funny how things change

At this point in my life i'd take a "downer" over an "upper" any day.
Well...to be fair i'd take a psychadelic over a downer over an upper any day ;)
 
I used to be addicted to benzos and caffeine always left me jittery and I didn't like it. But after I tried meth and the Tramadol high be more speedy as I continued to use it I think I really like both. But I have to stay away from meth. That is one that I liked way way too much and that one with turn your life into a shit hole in a matter of months. 2 weeks and I knew I was fucking myself over and had to quit, but even with that short of time it wasn't easy.
Tramadol gives me both. Perhaps thats why I tend to like it so much
 
^i noticed the same thing pillthrill.

I used to be a 24/7 alcoholic. Uh, now I don't do downers more than once a week. And tramadol causes less insomnia now.

I think upper vs downer is determined by brain chemical balance. Downer abuse turns you into a very uncomfortably up person. Upper abuse makes you a downer person, as in, you don't do crap without being up'd.
 
^I value everything more on uppers. I was an expert at not giving a shit when I was a drinker. That's not something I ever want to feel again.
 
Never been a big meff guy cause I like my sleep, but i used to do a bunch of coke at like 18-20. Then I discovered downers. It was awesome that I could do an amount and actually be SATISFIED, not like with coke, when you're like "sure, i'm geeked out, but if i did some more, i'd be EVEN MORE geeked out...ad infinitum." Now I can't stand any kind of upper.
 
I like blow on occasion (maybe like a couple times a year), but I'm definitely a downer girl. I'm such a high stress person to begin with so I don't really like the way uppers affect me.
 
Coke never satisifies. It's a crap upper. I spend more on a single day with coke than a month on meth.

Of course, the price makes meth a little more addicting. Or, for more, a shit load more addicting. But I can't keep my cool on downers.
 
Uppers!

Up!

Up!!!

and...well occasionally down

but Upper based for sure! well I am alive, look at me go as fast as I can, so fast that I'm worrying about my organs simply not keeping up!

but i'm also present enough to moderate greatly.

but damn, opiates are nessasary sometimes! but hand me some dex and mdma and well... Beautiful times!
 
I love both. They both feel absolutely amazing. Uppers are great for mornings and long double shifts. Feeling good and productive with a smile. Nice little cocaine is nice for parties and socializing. MDMA is a different story. Those are for nights with a spice, fun, and memorable times.

I feel almost the same way with psychedelics like I do with MDMA. Little but more powerful though. They teach me a lesson about life. I gain new insights and feel content for a little bit.
I mostly take psychedelics with a small crowd that I trust. Don't feel like psychedelics would feel great at parties.

Downers though. I enjoy after working nights at the comfort of my own home. Opiates in particular. Can't really kind a connect for benzos but I feel like I can buy better drugs with the money anyhow. I feel like I'm wrapped in a warm heated blanket after breaking a piece of an OC80 and a little alcohol consumed, although some benzos would be fantastic to go with the OC though.

Alcohol though, I feel like it's a downer with some social purposes. I enjoy a little buzz from it in social situations, but never drunk. Beer pong is fun though. I play it for the sport, not for the alcohol.

Cannabis I feel like I can use it anytime. Epecially since I don't have the money to afford an Oxy habit or the money to get a gram of MDMA or getting coke often.

Tobacco I regret smoking. Nicotine is my poison of choice really
 
definitely an upper person.. I'm hyper to begin with and I can't stand being bored... before I used to never touch opiates.. I used to, and still kinda do, think of it like this "I'm hyper, very energetic, and like to run around all over the place.. gimme some x or some meph ;) and I'm the happiest man in the world... gimme some downers and I'm stuck in a nutshell wishing I had all my energy back so I could have enough motivation to do all the things I'm thinking in my head!"... I like how uppers open your pupils to the world and downers close them and cover you up :o and marijuana, for me, makes me feel more trapped without motivation than anyy other drug... which is really why I don't like it
 
What about people who have shifty preference and personality. Like periods when I feel anxious I like downers, and when there are periods of low energy and bad focus I like uppers. Also got naturally high tolerance to stimulants, like for friend same batch of speed 3g would last for 4 days, but for me it goes in two days. And still can't get even tweaked out, only If I do lots of it and combined with some downers.

I feel like the minority here, but I've always been a big fan of uppers, nothing like thoughts rushing by faster then you can process them. Something about the rush leaves me coming back for more. Ecstasy and speed are my vices. Just such an open and deep state of being. I feel so connected to everything. That's me.
 
Uppers: substances that cure my ADD, make me want to dance + interact with strangers + connect with loved ones on a deeper level, and get me high. I'll take em!

(Downers are a nicety on the comedowns, though.)

I think that most people who abuse uppers for any period of time end up going to downers. You can live your life while on downers, but not while taking stimulants regularly...
 
Downer abuse can be sustained for longer, but it eventually turns you completely unfunctional from rebound/comedown/morning after anxiety.

Personal anecdote: I literally can't live life when taking downers regularly. They aggravate my anxiety in the morning. I can't get away with going to work intoxicated every day anymore. I've lost 4 jobs from downer abuse, because when morning came, I couldn't overcome my anxiety to even show up to work, no matter how many bills are looming. I actually lost my current job 3 times already from this, but they let me come back.

How do you downer people deal with the anxiety when sober? Or are you never sober, and just continue building your doses up and up? Is there anyone who has abused downers for more than two years without developing permanent insomnia?
