How to cure come downs (Crashes)

Paranoid Ecstasy · #1 (**permalink**) 07-01-2008, 06:12 AM

Not even five minutes ago I was having the worst come down (Crash) I've ever had.
It was so horrifyingly painful I wanted to die.
I tried to write this thread but it hurt so much I couldn't see.

So earlier today was an amazing day.
I was so high off of 75mg of Roxy.
It was so amazing.
Up until I crashed.
I want to create a thread of methods to help prevent/cure crashes.
So if anyone has a remedy to help with a crash please post it here.
When posting specify what drug caused the crash.

My crash was caused by Roxy (75mg).
The crash involved horrible pain (behind the eyes and mostly on the face), blurred vision, and loss of balance. The pain was so bad it made me want, crave and need more roxy. Also known as a physical addiction. For some reason I also could not pee no matter how hard I try.

To reduce the pain and side effects (only temporarily) I took 600mg ibuprofen and 6 TbSn's of Nyquil.Than I took a hot bath which I slowly made cold(Hot water ran out).
The medicine plus the Roxy put me to sleep.
When I awoke the pain was reduce and faded away for 2 1/2 hours.
I repeated taking the medicine with out sleep and a bath and I'm feeling alot better now.
I also ate and it is helping me feel better.
As I finish writing this I can feel the pain in my face slowly coming back and I'm dreading it.

Please add any comments or recipes of your own remedy.

Cannabis, vitamins (fruit), neurotransmitters (5-HTP pills), a reasonable dose (100-180mg?) of codeine/dihydrocodeine.

Try some of those.

The best cure for a comedown is sleep. Fact.

However, when you have to go to work or something, that isn't an option.

I usually just power through a comedown. The only time one can stop me is when I've drank an obscene amount of alcohol with the drugs. Apart from that I just look rough, which I don't like if I need to go out in public

Usually I'm fine as well.
I may look a little sick and have minor headache but I'm fine.
How ever last night was way different, I could hardly walk or even see.
The headache was so bad I wanted to die and NEEDED another roxy.

I think a good method of curing comedowns is to try and prevent them rather than stop them after they've started...

For example; Eat a good healthy meal and take lots of vitamins the night before. Maybe one of those dissolvable vitamin C tablets before you go to sleep.

5-HTP Pills?

I've never seen those before. Are they available over the counter?

As it happens, I'll be putting some on Coffeesh0p this afternoon some time. I'll report back when they're up.

Elevate 5-HTP Pills - £3.25 for 2, enough for one person.

Motherfucker....

Those sound awesome. You gonna try them yourself?

I'd look about buying them from the US. I couldn't find 5-HTP there but I got 100 5-TP (L-Tryptophan) for $20.

Synchronium · #14 (**permalink**) 07-07-2008, 08:22 PM

I thought L-Tryptophan was illegal in the US due to a bad batch a while ago?

Also, those elevate pills contain the following:

Quote:

101mg 5-HTP, alanine, glycine, aspartic acid, tryptophan, tyrosine, vitamins, minerals and binders.

It was lifted shortly after.

At the time of the ban, the FDA did not know, or did not indicate, that EMS was caused by a contaminated batch,[43][44] and yet, even when the contamination was discovered and the purification process fixed, the FDA maintained that L-tryptophan was unsafe. In February 2001, the FDA loosened the restrictions on marketing (though not on importation), but still expressed the following concern:

"Based on the scientific evidence that is available at the present time, we cannot determine with certainty that the occurrence of EMS in susceptible persons consuming L-tryptophan supplements derives from the content of L-tryptophan, an impurity contained in the L-tryptophan, or a combination of the two in association with other, as yet unknown, external factors."[36]
Since 2002, L-tryptophan has been sold in the U.S. in its original form. Several high-quality sources of L-tryptophan do exist, and are sold in many of the largest health food stores nationwide. Indeed, tryptophan has continued to be used in clinical and experimental studies employing human patients and subjects.
