What's the worst comedown/wd drug?

doing a 3 day taper of approx 160-220mg's of Methadone (was on methadone for 8 months daily) to 0mg's all in 3 days.. and kicking a hefty Diazapam habit at the exact time 100% cold turkey..
or coming off an insane fentanyl/dilaudid habit cold turkey.. the most intense withdrawl (short term compared to methadone) I've ever had..
methadone was less severe but almost worse than fentanyl due to the extremely long withdrawl process compared to short term opiates..
 
The worst experiance of my life was when I was using 120 mg oxy / day and anywhere from 4 to 8 mg of xanax. Now my mom was coming into town, and I had a final exam the next day, I was young and incredibly dumb (and up to this point had never experianced an opiate or benzo WD, so I thought it wouldn't be too bad, I could handle one night since I had to stay in the hotel with my mom.

WRONG.

About an hour in I was in really bad shape. I told my mom I must have had a really bad fever because I was starting to feel really bad. She was so sweet she took care of me as best as possible. It was 2 or 3 am and I didn't know what to do, so I looked though my backpack PRAYING I had lost a pill or two in there.

I had...

Problem is it was X. At the time I thought OH THANK GOD, this will make me feel really good and I can just stay up all night rolling through the pain (I know listen I was very young and very dumb). So I took the roll. Now to be honest for the first two hours, I felt better not a whole lot, but I wasn't feeling as helacious as before, I attribute this to be because the pills were MDBD (kind like ex downers). But after a while I became very confussed, I was hallucinating really bad, I hoped into the shower with the lights off because I was too scared of the light.

I was still rolling the next morning when my mom dropped me off at my college for my final and then left for her meeting. Which was the whole reason she came into town. I was SO glad to be away from her right now, but I was crashing hard, and had to go take a final exam.

WTF

I was sitting there trying to take this test, ZOOMING through it, thinking everybody knew I was tipping balls, crashing hard, and just about to flip my shit.

Psychotic Break...

That is when it happened I was hearing voices my heart rate must have been 180 or something. I was sweating, paranoid, aching, freaking, my pupils were nearly the size of my entire eye. I screamed in fright after turning the test in thinking people were trying to get me. I ran outside into the bushes and hid there for what must have been 2 hours before I called my room mate.

I said bring ALL of my oxy and ALL of my xanax and ALL of my valium. He could tell I was loosing it. He got there in what must have been two minutes. I hopped into his car and immediatly down 50 mg of valium, 8 mg of xanax, and 160 mg of oxy went up my nose (thank god i use to keep all my oxy crushed up in gelcaps for easy snorting on campus or on the go.) AS SOON as that oxy hit my nose I knew everything would be better. One of my sticks was under my tongue, and within five minutes the ordeal was under control. Mind you I wasn't feeling high at all, I was feeling 'normal.

I don't know how I survived that, but that was the day I quit using hard drugs. I never ever wanted to go back to the literal hell I had just narrowly escaped from.

- And perhaps the most bizzare part of this story is the grade I got on my final exam... I got an 81%.
 
Mad Dash... that sounds like a bad dream! I can only imagine what your heart rate was doing.

Benzo + opiate withdrawal combined with coming off a roll while being in PUBLIC? Much less taking an exam?

I bet you didn't try that one again :D

I have nothing to add after that one.
 
Its a toss up between a shitload of drinking from the night before and 10+ vicodin ES (7.5/750) right before bed.
 
Withdrawals aside, after shooting up a lot of cocaine while you are coming down off a huge meth binge.
 
WOW maddash I couldn't even imagine that scenario, that's just nuts!

the worst come down with drugs for me was when my benzo habit got out of control, i used to abuse xanax like no other, started to get really really bad at the end of 2006 about feb 2007 i was at about a habit of atleast 8mg a day, mind you i wasn't prescribed these pills i was coping off the street, so one day my boi just left town and i couldnt get them, the first day was alright... by that night the withdrawls got so bad i just downed a bunch of tylenol pm to get to sleep. regardless to say i woke up early the next morning to go to work, feeling like utter shit, shivvering, sweating getting dizzy and all, my boy with the xanax called me at about 10:30 saying he could meet up with me so of course i said fucking come through, i cop about 100 bars off of him, walk back into work ( without taking one, FUCKING STUPID ) as i am walking to get a drink i blacked out and had a seizure, wake up in the back of the ambulance to the nurse saying, did you not take your xanax? lol wtf... anyways thats my crazy story.

needless to say i'm been semi-clean off of the xanax this year :|

i'm now prescribed valuim though so not much better :\

I second that, worst experience of my life.
Meth and benzos, yeah. But some benzos are a hundred times worse than others. For example the very worst WD is probably from LORAZEPAM. It was nearly taken off the market all together in 1982 because old ladies were getting horrific WD after quite short courses, NOT of the 2.5mg tabs, but just the 1mg ones. And who here ever takes anything except 2.5mg? Except of course those who live in those Asian countries where they seem to offer 2mg tablets. Prescription lorazepam, both Wyeth Ativan and the BP version, come in 1mg and 2.5mg, NOT 2mg; I have seen that only in the Philippines, India and Pakistan, although i believe that such a strange strength is also available from some US manufacturers.
Lorazepam and Oxazepam. Worst. Combine with meth and it's a recipe for hell.

You obviously don't give a shit about your liver. Vicodin in any form is the worst possible formulation of hydrocodone. Stick with pure hydro, Abbott/Knoll's 10mg DICODID. To hell with the stuff full of APAP.
 
^ Every formulation of hydrocodone is "full of APAP." If it wasn't, it would be schedule II instead of schedule III, which would take away from its convenience. I don't know what the hell Dicodid (probably not a US thing) is, but I'll tell you the best preparation of hydrocodone you can get is "Norco" or its generic equivalent - which means it has 325mg APAP. (Thats all the brand really refers to, the amount of APAP in the pill).

And to correct your other post:
In the US, ativan comes in 0.5, 1, and 2mg doses.
Not 2.5mg.
 
^^Ya Vicks have apap, but as JHC said if it wasnt u would have to do the triplicate bullshit...i think anything with less than 15mg hydro and that has APAP/Ibprofen, whatever is schedule 3,,,which is nice!

worst comedown- idk, i think people give too much to the fent wd. its obviously not fun or ez, but i dont think its that bad. but maybe my use is different. i have a patch script and got 30 25mcg patches a month for a long time, and now get 15 25mcg patches and 15 12mcg patches and usually run out after around 25 days, and wd for 3-4 days and its not horrible. I mean, i would use like ~2.5mg a day, sometimes 4-5mg of fent a day (generally smoked), and the withdrawals aren't nearly as bad as coming off of 80-160mg oxycontin or even 8-10 10/325 norcos...the fent withdrawal, for me, is all mental and most of the physical stuff is over in a little over a day, while the others are more drug out

Ecstasy = worst comedown ever
still my favorite though, hahhhahha

usually when its cut with some speed I have a really bad comedown, worse than just taking speed alone.

but on molly I usually get no MAJOR comedown just feeling a bit out of it and tense.

I'd say a meth comedown would be the worst but I've never expierenced one.
I'd also say heroin would be the worst w/ds but it all depends on how long you've had an addiction and the type of H youd get

I love rolling, it's been some time since I have. Loved it too much actually which made my brain a mess. I can't find any good X around here. it's all the same with just different stamps. I'm buying a test kit just to see whats in this crap. These new rolls you Barley get any euphoria, the jaw goes out of control etc etc.

And the next morning I feel as if i drank some battery acid mixed with some draino. So fucking bad, pathetic. E used to be soo damn nice, now it blows goat nuts. My brain has had ENOUGH, once i kick these suboxones i'll be a free man, except for the benzo's which I need so I don't FREAK on people
 
LSD + 2C-I + 2C-E + Cocaine + Prestige Brandy ($6 a fifth)

up for three days, the last of which was just me rolling around on my bed trying to sleep
 
when it comes to 'comedowns' from different drugs.. i'd say that coming down from a long night crack binge is up on the top of that list.. to me, its the most intense, short-term comedown of pretty much any drug i've stumbled across.. amp's are up there as well..
but when it comes to 'withdrawl'.. benzo's and opiates put the rest to shame.. short term opiates are obviously the most severe (short term).. but if you aren't willing to feel like HELL for 2-3 weeks, methadone isn't something I'd ever wish you'd have to withdrawl from..
 
Worst comedown EVER was doing 3 hits of LSD @ 1am and having work at 8am, and having your boss notice and threaten you.
 
I don't get shit all comedowns from MDMA... then again I don't eat grams of it in a night.
by far the worst comedown I have ever had was from piperazine-based 'party pills' (popular in New Zealand for some time, I believe they are also available in the UK)
I had approx 500mg BZP + 250mg TFMPP total, split into 2.5 doses over ~6hrs (dancing hard at a nightclub, exhaustion may have contributed somewhat).
coming down by +10hrs, spent the ENTIRE next day with chills, cold sweats, severe headache, incapable of eating, complete lethargy but feeling too 'cracked out' to sleep until +24hrs. still felt like crap the day AFTER the comedown.

people I know who have binged on piperazines (i.e. 3+ days redosing to avoid comedown, no chance of sleeping while high) have said it is the worst comedown they have ever experienced.
 
I've never had a hangover from booze :)

Only thing I've ever felt a real comedown from was Opium. It just made me sick to my stomach for an hour or two
