    A question that I would love to have answered about ritalin (or anything like it). How do you deal with the comedown, because for me it can really suck sometimes (I know I'm never snorting 40mg again).

    Weed does not work too well for me, it just makes the ritalin high feel weird. Moving around a lot can help lower my irratibility sometimes. If there is anything else to do, please post.

    Note: coming off of 40mg was probably the hardest I've come down on anything before. Even oxy just made it impossible to sleep and caused nausea, but high ritalin comedown just makes everything pretty bad.

    haha, how do you deal with the comedown? take more.

    the ritalin comedown sucks. it's not good advice or anything, but to be totally honest, when i do ritalin, i prefer to just do it until i pass out because i don't know if it's possible to feel better until after you've slept. of course drinking lots of water and eating something can sometimes help too... but the ritalin comedown generally makes me want to die.

    Yeah, that's how I felt. I would definitely sleep on it if I could, but I twitch myself awake when I'm on rit, oxy, vic, or whatever. I passed out on codeine, which seems odd now that I think about it.

    Anyway, I'm gonna try the "eating" method.

    where in california are you?


    videogames can be a good mindless thing to do on any comedown... something like tetris or pac man where you can just zone out. i remember zelda being the most amazing thing EVER after i snorted some wellbutrin, but that's different.

    I'm in Southern Cal.

    Video games/movie or any entertainment that doesn't require movement does sound good. And yes, I'm sure Wellbutrin is a very different high. I've read about it, and had access to a shitload, but decided not to try after lots of experiences I read.

    Well, toast to another 20mg this morning.

    marijuana works well for me in the sense that its a different high, and more or less distracts me from the ritalin come down. but that doesnt change the fact that it sucks.

    other than that i usually like to just shoot myself in the face.

    Eat things containing l-tyrosine. Meats, fish, nuts, wheat, ect. Things with a lot of protein generally contain it. It's a precursor to dopamine (which is majorly why you feel so amazing, and then fucking terrible). Helps bring amphetamine back/eliminate the comedown on amphetamine. I also like to smoke a lot on comedowns (cigarettes). Get lots of vitamins and minerals into your body as well. Eat healthy food and take a multivitamin if you have one. Keep well hydrated.

    lmao, if only it were that easy.

    No problem. I'm quite well versed on amphetamine and maximizing it's effects/minimizing it's bad effects.

    this is a tough one. when it comes to ritilan, speed, etc, i cannot avoid the comedown. weed does nothing for me and i cant eat. eating makes me want to puke. so waht i would( i havent used a stimulant in over 2 years) do is lay down alone, kind of try and meditate. i'd picture my racing thoughts like a type of spiring that was swirling and bouncing and such. when i could get the 'spring' still, i'd begin to uncoil it. the spring, to me, symbolized my very active mind. focusing on this in my mind usually calmed me down and allowed me to fall asleep. the only problem is, this took 1.5 to 3 hours!

    Shit One thing I fucking hated so dam much is coming off of any uppers especially comiing of a night of doing Coke or crack. Its pretty much what made me start doing Herion.Herion and Hard Opiates eather sniffing them or shooting them are the only drugs I have found over the years that work instantly to take the horrible feelings of the come down away. Benzo's work great also but you have to wait a good hour or so before they kick in its the same thing with eating opiate pain killers. Before I started doing Herion I would usally get real drunk as all hell on liquor to take the come down away but this sucks also you have to get so dam drunk and you still pretty much feel like shit even when you are drunk, And the worst part is you really pay for it the next day.Weed did the same thing to me that it did to you it made me feel weird and it really did not take away the shitty feeling all that much. I hate to say this because I don't want people moving onto Herion for there upper come downs but it is really the only thing I found that takes the come down right away. About 60 seconds after yo sniff a bump or two the come down is gone and you feel great. Euphorial man If you think the come down of Ritalin is bad you better never start doing coke the come down is about 100 times worse then a Ritalin or Adderall come down. Your best bet if you don't want to start sniffing Herion is not find some Benzo's. A few Xanex and you will feel alot better and be able to go to sleep in a hour or two. I really think hell for me would be a never ending coke crash.I can't even tell you how much I hate that feeling. Its got to be one of the worst feelings in this world crashing off of coke/crack but any upper crash sucks balls. You just feel like utter shit bolth physically and mentally. And what sucks and you know this as you are doing thh shit is the longer you go and the more you do the worse the crash is going to be. Thats why I loved Herion I could do a little dope and blow as many Phat ass lines of coke or speed as I wanted all night long with out coming down what so ever.As soon as the shit was gone I would sniff like a half a bag of dope and feel great and go right to sleep. Man Just thinking about that come down makes me so dam gald I don't really fuck with any uppers manily coke any more. Every time I do it now which is rare I make sure I have a few bags of dope ready for after that last line or hit is gone. Man what a shitty Feeling the comedown its just horrible.

    Shit, well I'll keep that in mind and stay away from coke. Unless I come across some scag, that is. Thanks for the experienced post. Although you had to go through some really harsh times, at least it keeps me more informed.

    yeh look i just find smoking lots of weed is the cure for ritalin comedown.

    honestly, you can always keep smoking more and more until your brain cant hold onto anything, not even the negativity of your state of mind.

    Hey E,

    So I read that you tried using oxy but it still was hard for you to sleep. What about a smaller dose than you would regularly take to get fucked up? Then you hopefully would feel better without the nausea! also, if you can get a hold of valium, try chewing a 10mg pill. When I can get valium, I take just one in the mornings for anxiety and the comedown.

    One last option: poppy pod tea. If you dont know what that is or want to know more about it, PM me!

    quite frankly if opiates, benzos, and weed cant curb your phenny comedown then just dont take the phennies. it wasnt meant for you. just like how some people have horrible depression after ecstacy.

    Hey, Veris, apparently I don't have "permission" to PM? Haven't heard of that on a forum before...

    Anyway, I'd sure like to know how to make GOOD poppy seed tea, because my friend and I did it before with very minimal results. Any tips would be wonderful.

    As far as the oxy goes, I think I'll just remember to take any opies earlier in the day, because I don't really like taking doses that don't do much to me. I really like hitting that high state of euphoria when possible.

    However, I'm sure the poppy seed isn't terribly strong, but I'd sure like to try it again.

    that's funny, i pass out on the comedown of ritalin and on vics but codeine made me completely unable to sleep, and then made me puke my guts out.

    well to be honest i think there is no good remedy for come downs (apart from joints :)) i just take imovane for a good non-disturbed sleep pattern after tripping...and just allow time to deal with any emotional hang overs
