What can someone do to help counter the depression/agitation and general come down symptoms the day after a night of cocaine use?
 
Pay the piper and ride it out.

Or take more coke, but you know which slippery slope you're headed down then.

Painkillers and benzo's will also help, but now you're taking up 3 drug habits instead of one
 
Try to take some herbal supplements:

Kava, Valerian, Passion Flower; and maybe some St. John's wort for depression.

Also get plenty of rest and make sure you eat.
 
That drug puts your body into overdrive for the duration (even if with good stuff it may not feel like it. This means things like potassium, calcium, sodium all get depleted as well as your body may be in a catabolic state. Thats what causes the type of comedown youre experiencing right now. Get something in you with alot of potassium and nutrition, perhaps a fruit smoothie. I like to make mine with almond milk instead of water, and i add some honey and oats in there to boot. Force it all down even if youre stomach isnt havin it, just kinda sip on it but make sure to get it all down. Then theres part 2- drive all that nutrition into your body- go for a walk, do some jumping jacks literally anything to kinda get a light sweat going. Nothing *too* strenuous though. Youre probably going to want to take a nap after- try and stay awake until the time you usually go to bed when youre not using (at least like,a reasonable hour. Try to get to bed early even if you usually don't.)

You dont necessarily want to supplement with any of those things the above poster mentioned, while your body is still in its depleted state. Theyre herbal non addictive supplements, sure, but they may end up doing more harm than good.
 
bed, tv and chinese take-away.
thank me later

If you can sleep then you shouldn't be feeling too bad when you wake up. As above, benzos are vital when you are struggling to get that sleep.

You need to be patient and understand that this will take a while and you'll get better soon. Take a long shower, breathe in and out slowly, try to stay calm as in avoiding to overthink and soon this is all going to be over.

You could also drink one beer, can manage to drink one only? - it might help.

Take care!

Wouln't a workable non-Benzo solution be better in the name of HR?

I am NOT one "to talk", but... Benzos are the easy way out (initially), but they facilitate excess use, mask physical sensations you need to feel to keep in check and a propentency for a two drug regime ain't the best, esp., when dealing with side effects (comedown = side effect imo), rather than enhancing the coke experience, if that is possible for you... To each their own.

I usually do the fast, hard, short benzo to sleep, and a fat ass fresh rail to get back on track the next AM. Very common routine, but very ill advised. It is not healthy. I prevents or delays return homeostatis.

Unless your job/whatever is on the line (I starting doing this when working with professional touring musicians). Why torture your body? Ok... Yes, I definitely get it. I was a slammer for years.

No time for proper HR/substance use hygeige? Reconsider use for a different day. Very hipocritical of me, my past... Hopefully you're reading to learn, update or criticize my post, not to ignore it.

If necessary, and occcasionally - your one coke run every three months - fine.

Make a habit of either/both drugs recreationally, and eventually you're very likely - I'll even write "you are" - going to have a bad time.

My experience and best advice in the name of HR from 20 years of that merry-go-round. I suppose you're required to wear a helmet on a merry-go-round these days, maybe I am onto something.

What's a coke comedown like? Honestly curious as I don't get them. Is it just the next morning/day?

Multiple your worst booze hangover by 10X. Basically your entire next day is a write-off

I'm always really hungry the next day. A bit groggy. Exhausted, no energy and tired all day. Take out and a good movie while veging on the couch is the best option!

Oh, and when I was younger, when the sun was up and the coke was gone, I use to pray to god that "If I could just go to sleep I would never touch cocaine again"! Lmao!
I didn't take Clonazapam back then and it eases the anxiety and agitation of coming down. Weed does too but ime it has been to a lesser degree.

Now I space my blasts and accept when it's done it's done. Taking benzos DEFINITELY helps!
 
Fuck that sounds horrible...I don't get anywhere near enough from coke to make it worth my while if it left me feeling like that but I've never even felt off the next day after using it.

Appreciate the response though, found that really interesting!
 
So if you have something like Xanax, at what point should you take it after snorting the cocaine?

You want to wait at least 2-3 hours. Enjoy the blow on its own. Take the Xanax when the party?s ?over? and the high is done. I prefer to avoid benzos entirely. When I?m out of blow, I shift the party into a weed smoking party, maybe drink a beer or two and try to get comfortable.

Once it wears off, your brain obsesses on getting more. Even if you save a huge line as your last one, soon as you do it, your brain is going to think "Im out of coke". During the come down time, just cannot feel good about anything. If you were on a yacht in a beautiful place, with many amazing things to do, you would still just think about coke. In the event you do ride it out with nothing for the come down, you'll most likely lay for hours after looking at porn for a substantial time , wishing for sleep.Maybe you'll get an hour eventually, put feel physically drained all the next day, and still have no inspiration to do anything really. With xanax, you'll sleep, but have the same symptoms the next day, just not as bad. With opiates, you'll feel amazing, and it will keep you up even longer until you finally pass out, then wake up and want more opiates. All of this depends on amount you do, and the cut, but i don't recall ever doing just a little. I would never accept a line offered to me, and would never do any without something for the come down. Ever. Yes, it sucks. Took about 5 times doing it before my body reacted that way. Every one is different, some people react differently, put what i mention is pretty average.
 
I guess i should mention , i know 2 people who died from coke in the last 6 month. One was closer to a suicide, the other was not. Be careful, know your limits.
 
I never really feel horrible the next day. But then again I only do about three or four, maybe five lines in one night and then don't touch the stuff for a couple of weeks. Never had a crazy come down. The only negative side effects I get our kind of a loss of appetite and a dry mouth. Never really needed anything like a Xanax.
