Stimulants Best way to come down off meth use?

Although, I am also prescribed 120mg MST a day, + 200ml Oramorph a week for a pancreatic condition. So failing lack of benzo's, opiates, although not as good with anxiety and racing head, will keep the body calm.
 
Make sure to eat when you start coming down, or before if you have been at it for a while. And atsy hydrated. I know it so easy to not do these things because meth makes you feel like you don't. Very serious. I'm not saying this will make your come down better, but it will certainly keep it from get worse.
 
I find it humorous that it took 21 comments of people all giving the same advice before someone mentioned Seroquel (props to Znegative!!!).... I have been doing meth for quiet awhile now and have had my fair share of comedowns and no disrespect to the above commenters because taking benzos is ofcourse great advice but, in my neck of the woods benzos (unless acquired in pathetic doses from a doctor) are pretty much unheard of.... put it this way, I thought it was christmas in july when I stumbled across one 100mg MS contin pill the other day. Point of this is with benzos becoming harder and harder to get ahold of these days, I think Seroquel could fill that void nicely. For example, someone who has never taken Seroquel before that is of average weight and just had a half decent hit of meth.... I can pretty much guarantee that taking the lowest dose of Seroquel (25mg) straight after the hit would leave people either asleep or very close to it because it is incredibly powerful (The level of sedation far exceeds benzos IMO) and it is also quiet safe at high doses (Does not cause as much respiratory depression as other classes of sedatives) allthough all drugs have there side effects but if 25mg doesnt cut it you can go right upto 150mg in 50mg increments hourly or even 200mg would be fine. It completely overpowers any upper I have come across yet.

Now that I read this back to myself anyone would think I was a Seroquel sales rep but I just cant believe that more people dont realise how useful a drug that is so RIDICULOUSLY over prescribed can actually be particularly to us drug users that enjoy uppers.

Sorry to babble on,
Peace HH95 :)
 
Benzos are the best way. Valium, Ativan, Xanax if it's all you can get. Valium will be best. about 3-4 days then decrease your benzo dosage so you don't walk away from one problem into another. If you've been using a long time add gaba pentin in there 300mg three times a day for about two weeks. Will stop your body from seizing/tensing up and it will make stopping the benzo easier as well.
 
Try to keep re-dosing to a minimum and early on in the day - if you want sleep that night, do not take any more meth in the afternoon.

Let it ride its course for however many hours - then I start on the benzos to really help unwind / bring me down, as well smoking weed once I'm sedated enough.

Opiates are also great but obviously there are risks when combining them with benzos. Also helps to pick a good tried and tested benzo rather than one of the new RC ones.

I'm currently in the same boat and was gutted when I realised I only had flubromazolam's at hand (Which I find useless in terms of gauging how much I need to sleep rather than stay awake feeling like a zombie instead).

So today my dosing regime looked a bit like this (not recommended for all, benzo tolerance helped, it has been almost 5 hours since I last snorted some meth).

NSFW:
1pm-2pm: several largish lines of meth snorted

2:30pm: 0.5mg flubromazolam ingested

4:15pm: 0.5mg flubromazolam ingested (Total now 1mg)

6:15pm: benzos have definitely kicked in - snort around 2mg of 3-meo-pcp (I find low dose disso’s can really smooth out an amphetamine comedown).

6:45pm: smoke a tiny bit of weed

7pm: shower

rest of the evening will be spent smoking as necessary till appetite comes back, maybe some nice teas to relax with. alcohol definite no-no as I don't want to go into blackout territory with this benzo.


Calling it a day early on at 2pm means that despite feeling so fucking wired between 2-3pm I’ve still managed to get things done, and will be asleep by a reasonable time.

No desire to re-dose stims at all tonight - I just want a nice relaxing evening now. If anything I would’ve preferred to have dosed smaller measured amounts of meth incrementally starting earlier in the morning, rather than fat eyeballed lines after lunch as I felt too fucked initially to really focus on one task and that led to dosing benzos way too early on.

Valium or xanax later on in the night would’ve been far more preferable, than what I had available.

Also kept reminding myself I didn’t want to resort to hours of porn etc - so made sure to keep myself pre-occupied in other ways.

Right now its’ almost time for the first bit of weed to be smoked, I know this a long post - residual stimulation after all - but far more relaxed after the 1mg of flubro. Also well aware that once the meth completely wears off I may feel the flubromazolam much more strongly - so will not re-dose benzos till I’m sure the meth is for sure at the end of its course (in the event I can’t sleep).

Otherwise - if you're happy to stay up for at least one night, then just dose however you like, until the next day where you're better off just chilling all day and getting a good night's sleep. I just can't be fucked to stay up all night these days, or sleep at 7am and wake up at 9pm so try and keep it all as early as possible in the day and as low in dosing with an emphasis on no re-dosing past a certain time.

/stimmed rant over, need to smoke weed.
 
It depends on the meth use. If you used meth with zero sleep for a week or more, the best comedown is to actually sleep and eat for 2 nights. Don't take opioids or benzos because it can get you into the red zone...so nothing that is a CNS de-activator. In such a state of extreme exhaustion, sleep and THEN food is the best drug ever and I mean it, it's the best feeling ever to just lie down and not do anything. If you haven't slept for a week or more, don't have a heavy meal because your organs need to regenerate during sleep before they can process any food. Remember that.

For quick uses however, like a night or 12 hours, benzos or opioids are usually used.
 
Pregabalin/Lyrica helped me back when I was using meth because it is slightly stimulating, making the transition more physically comfortable and gradual. Alprazolam in contrast took me from 60 mph down to zero almost too quickly.
 
Well lucky for me I go to the methadone clinic every morning so on days I'm coming down that's a good start to control the twerkness and anxiety of the comedown,Almost everytime I go on a meth binge I always get about a gram of black tar,it just makes everything calmer no more aches and pains,ur not so hyper,than alcohol put the cherry on top,I don't drink much but when I do I get liquor thats puts u on a level like I found the combination to open the meth comedown.But meth overpowers evetything,so eventually if u don't sleep,the alcohol,herion will wear off and it back at square 1.Thats why I usually wait a day after or best start doing the combination when ur coming down so I figure 1st day meth,then 24hrs after start with the drug combinations.But that's just me I don't encourage anyone to mixing drug combos especially alcohol,methadone,herion,and meth sounds like a death wish but I can't see how people take Xanax with others that's the most dangerous drug u can mix with anything but whom am i
 
I'd choose a longer-acting bzd like clonazepam (~4-6mg)/diazepam (40-70mg) and a hypnotic benzo like temazepam (~120mg<). An anti-dopaminergic sedative like promethazine. Indica-dominant cannabis strain. For muscle aches/tension: carisoprodol 750mg + morphine or oxycodone.

5-htp
Melatonin (5-10mg)
L-theanine (200-600mg)
Chelated Mg (400mg)
B12 complex
Fish oil
Aswaghanda
L-tyrosine
Vitamin C
ALA
Multivitamin
Water
 
People who use meth just have to accept the unavoidable crash. Its just how it is. This means planning your use to fit in with work or other commitments as youll need at least a day to get back to a normal yet tired state.

Assuming you have just had the gear, there are some things I have used to make it more easy.

Alone time. Phone off. Decent movie on. Darkness. Decent shower. Powerade or gatorade. Watermelon. Ahead of time a stock of mersindol, ibuprofen, codeine (Otc here), and a decent bottle of wine. I have valium luckily but not essential.

Phenergan or other antihistamines do make you drowsy and also stop the racing thoughts so when you do sleep you will wake not fuzzy and scattered much.
 
Marijuana, xanax, melatonin, and a small dose of an SSRI is my personal fave. I sleep for 16-18 hrs & wake up fairly chipper and optimistic. I advise eating indica edibles 30-100mgs (dep on tolerance) smoking a fatty then ingesting the rest. It may be a platonic effect but a small dose of zoloft or prozac seems to help me. I started this after X binges but works perfect for clear
 
Ive also used large amounts of KRATOM extract and it helps alot esp if ur without benzos or promethazine. Please dont mix benzos with opiates
 
Whats worked for me was water, food, both are hard to do, and weed and benzos.
 
Trust me, if you are going to want to deal with meth GET benzos for the come down. Xanax , klonopin, valium, what ever just go on a search mission while tweaked out and do it. You will thank us so much, it seriously is a life saver when coming down from any stimulant like coke meth or MDMA. Sleeping pills are whack, because you already start tripping out when you are coming down from meth. If you just so happen to stay awake on the sleeping pills while coming down you might go insane. Do what ever you can to get benzos if you want the best come down possible, benzos as well as some good indica weed.

This is the only safe way to do it. Opiates/alcohol/etc. can kill you if mixed on the crash.
 
Benzos and/or Opiates are the easy way out.. but probably not recommended to a non-addict.

I always use Xanax and Heroin for Stimulant comedowns.
 
Whenever I stay up doing speed the comedown comes around in the morning... I always feel way better after I take my daily methadone dose.

By far, I'm also on MMT myself.

Comedown essentials: if opioid-dependant, an opioid is crucial afterwards/during and after or experience one of the worst comedowns humanly possible. Sweat-ridden, agonizing hell-on-Earth type shit.
