What does the word "comedown" mean to you?

I noticed that what one person considers a comedown, another considers something completely different.

Hence............Can you describe what a comedown is for you and also whether you consider it bad, good or indifferent.


For me, my comedown is basically feeling a bit scatterred next day and generally a feeling of wanting to be lazy............I plan in advance for it usually.

I definitely dont consider it a bad thing........its sort of indifferent for me although i will admit the first half dozen or so were more sort of good.........I consider that a honeymoon period.

I have been using only maybe 6 or 7 times a year lately, its been tapering down from stupid ammounts 6 or 7 years ago.
 
^ I feel the same as you.. never really had a horrible crash from MDMA where I want to curl-up and die. Usually just feel physically and emotionally exhausted. Generally it is dealt with by replenishing energy with food and water, lying on the couch and watching DVDs. I definitely plan ahead for the comedown and in some ways enjoy them.. if you're surrounded with the people you spent the night with you can reflect on what happened, have a few laughs and spend a lazy day in good company. Haven't used MDMA in a long time though...!

Good thread!
 
i become weak, have a lot of apathy, angry, depressed and wishing i had another pill on me. thats my "comedown"
 
I never knew the meaning of "comedown" until these past few days.

I'm going on 3 days without sleep. My whole body is in pain. My head is throbbing and I'm having hallucinations (probbly from not sleeping) I can barely eat or drink anything. Yeaaahh. Don't know if I'm gonna be able to bring myself to do it again after this. Bummer.

Why do you think this would happen? The only difference is I took 2 pills instead of one. Maybe there was a lot of meth in them. I rolled for at least a good 15-16 hours straight and after that I was just tweaked out of my mind. It was insane.

So yeah, to me comedown means nightmare.
 
when i take e there are a few stages.
when i take it orally there is a 30-40min period of anticipation where i may get placebo feelings.
then over 10-15 min the effects of mdma come on in rushes of good feeling and energy.
after they have set in i "peak" for perhaps an hour. after that hour the effects begin to slowly decline.
as the peak starts to decline i call this comming down. this may last for a couple of hours for alot of that time ill still have energy and be enjoying myself and being social but the pure euphoria is declining.
after that 2 hours or so the last remenants of energy will disappear and i will begin to feel tired, less social, maybe a little down and overall stop enjoying myself. when this happens i consider it to be the come down.
in this time i usually rest and make my way home. the come down for me is just usually the time where i look back on the night and try and look forward to the next day.
when i wake up the next day i consider it to not be the come down but being scat where i have a slight dullness in the brain, perhaps a sore mouth and a little lethargy. i dnt usually feel any depression to a few days after where if something negative happens i can get really down on myself.
 
To me the comedown is the fall from the peak back to baseline. Anything after that is just the hangover.
 
The comedown for me starts once your fully down from the e, you don't wanna do anything else now but go to sleep. Then it lasts the whole next day and if i've done a lot into the next morning. =/

It's grim, achyness, being slow/lazy/spun out and just no motivation to do anything for daaaays. :(
 
When you're not peaking anymore. You can gradually feel a come down. You go from fly high to not so high, when you feel that you aren't as high as you were, you are coming down.
 
I usually call the next few days the comedown.
I tend to feel spacey, like part of my brain is missing or something. I feel gormless, but I don't really mind it.

The ACTUAL comedown, where you're still high but coming off the peak, I hate. I hate the first point in the night when your teeth stop gnawing and your eyes stop wiggling. that feeling of spent euphoria is awful.
 
My definition of comedown:

I get sad and angry at the same time because I am not feeling the MDMA love anymore. I am pissed off that there is no more warmth and kindness in the world. I am pissed off that people are essentially assholes.

Most people have much more normal comedowns, in my experience. I am a pretty messed up individual, so I guess my reaction makes sense.

I also a tend to feel weird on the next day. Kind of depersonalized, normal social acts seem pretty ridiculous and fake. Human interactions in general seem superficial. Anyone else experience this kind of stuff?
 
to me a comedown is basically the fight back to reality...some people adjust to normality without struggle after a trip and some people it a lot harder

~GH~

This is my thought as well.

I can feel a distinct gradual "comedown" from the peak when I use mdma. I can feel myself not feeling the same feelings or the awesome-ness that I felt earlier.

The way that I feel in the days afterward is the hangover.
 
Every time I roll I peak for a few hours, then in my mind I can feel a definate and sudden change. It really comes on fast for me, one minute ill be sitting there having a great time and then all of a sudden i'm coming down. I usually consider the come down to last about 20 hours, after that I feel almost normal. The day after for me usually consits of alot of sleep and listening to music and just being as comfortable as possible. I've found being outside on a sunny day helps me feel better.
 
To me my comedown starts when I feel the effects of the roll wearing off and going away.. I usually start to get irritated and just deal with it. The next day, whether I've gotten sleep or not doesn't make much of a difference.. I usually spend lying in bed crying about nothing. Or if I have to work, I'll go to work (If I can) and do as little as possible without exhausting my body.. then go home and do nothing while I feel pathetic. Ughh. I get "comedowns" like this probably 80% of the time I roll.

Exactly what i was gonna say ;)
 
yeah its right after the point where you feel the peak and then all of the sudden it gets less intense, you think, please god let this just be a down and let me come back up... you realize its not going to go back up, depression sets in and all you want is another pill. That lasts a good 3 to 4 hours for me. After that, yeah its just a hangover and I just want to sleep and/or reflect on my experience. I usually hate the comedown, unless I roll really really hard or smoke green on E, then when the comedown comes, its kind of a relief.
 
Me and my girl rolled for the first time tonight, and we had a wonderful high. Absolutely freaking wonderful. We laughed and kissed and shed tears I haven't felt in a long time.

...but now she's a mess, crying and curled up on the bed with a huge bout of depression. I ain't feeling this way, I'm just sad the feeling is gone. But she's so depressed she can't shake it off, to the point she feels it's not worth going up that high just to crash down the way she is.

Is something wrong? Me and her took two different presses, so I'm thinking something might have been in hers... I don't know...

When will the depression go away? It feels so artificial, but there's nothing she can do to let go of it.

Her abdomen is kind of hurting too, a dull pain in her belly, which is sharp if pushed on. :(
 
^^^Possibly a ton of speed in her pill. That or she's just not ready for MDMA :\


I start to feel the "comedown" when one second I'm peaking, everythings awesome, then all of a sudden I get hints of sobriety. Like for one second I'll feel sober, then BAM, I realize that I'm still rolling really hard. This will go on for anywhere from 30 minutes, to 2 hours. It sucks at first, but once I hit this stage, I know I'm ready for the ride to end. :)

Its kind of nice this way. Its like your mind is preparing you for the end of an amazing journey. Instead of just dropping immeadeatly, it lets you down gently. But believe me, I have plummeted hard and fast before, and it is NOT FUN. 8(

Having a good roll and coming down that hard usually means meth in your pills.
 
To me, it's nothing bad. I'm just not high anymore just a little worn out/cracked out/tired. Smoking weed while listening to music. To me coming down and cracked out are not that bad. I'm still able to get everything done the next day.
