Guide to coming down off meth and speed

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

It has been x days since you've slept and eaten. You've either exhausted your supply of meth or your tolerance is getting so high, you've decided to reserve the remainder of the stash for another day. You're jumping at shadows, constantly looking behind your shoulder at non-existent people who're out to get you, startled at sudden noises, and a friend tapping your shoulder is likely to make you jump out of your skin. The good effects of meth is over, but sleep is still impossible. What happens now?

1. Do you have a benzodiazepine (Valium, Xanax, Klonopin etc)?

Yes. Go to 2.
No. Can't help you much. If you have weed, smoke some to help you eat, otherwise force yourself to eat and drink yourself to sleep.

2. Do you have alcohol?

Yes. Go to 3.
No. Take more benzos and go to 3.

3. Do you have cannabis (weed, grass, pot)?

Yes. Go to 4.
No. Take the benzos and alcohol. Try to force yourself to eat and go to sleep.

4. You're set for the perfect comedown!

My personal preference for a comedown benzodiazepine is clonazepam (Klonopin). This is due to its relatively long duration and the anticonvulsant [rxlist.com] properties. The first one will ensure that you won't suddenly wake up in the middle of the night and will help you stay sedated for quite a long time. The second one is very nice after long meth runs, due to the muscle aches and other associated problems. I noticed that it'll also relax your muscles very noticeably, which is conducive for relaxation and sleep. :)

The only issue related to clonazepam is the long time it takes to kick in (for some people). It can take 1-2 hours, but personally, I've never noticed that it takes that long! Don't worry about it if you just came off a meth run, chances are, you've not eaten anything, so your stomach will be so empty that absorption happens really quickly! Personally, it only takes 15-30 minutes max for it to kick in after meth runs. I do not like Valium (diazepam) because it has an active metabolite that stays in you for quite a long time. Xanax (alprazolam) has a short half life (read the part about waking up in the middle of the night). However, feel free to pick and mix benzos if the situation warrants it. =D Please know the benzodiazepine equivalency dosages before mixing! I recommend taking a higher dose of the long lasting benzos and a lower dose of the short acting benzos. I've taken 2 mg Xanax + 10 mg Valium + 3 mg Klonopin combos to put me into slumber land within minutes. Heh.

Optional: Multivitamin and mineral supplement.

Here's what I usually do:

Preparations:
Cook some food if you need to. You'll be really tired after your run so I recommend something easy like ramen, but it'll be best to have something pre-cooked (like a take away rice box) in the fridge which you can just reheat in the microwave.
Wash your bong and fill it with water. Shred an amount of weed you want to smoke. Load the cone with one hit to be ready. Put lighter beside bong.

1. Take benzodiazepines (personally, I take 4 mg clonazepam - change the dosage according to personal tolerance) with water.
2. Take a shower. By the time you're done the clonazepam (or your benzo of choice) should have taken effect.
3. Start drinking beer. I don't recommend liquor because it's easy to drink too much and end up with a hangover. Also, be careful when combining alcohol and benzodiazepines. My personal limit is to never exceed a 6-pack, but YMMV.
4. Cook your food or even better, reheat your pre-cooked meal. It's worthy to mention that during your meth run, your body has gone into starvation mode from not being fed anything except water. Thus, anything you eat after will be put into your fat stores in anticipation of the next starvation period. This is not an issue if you do meth very often, but it might be of interest to people who are conscious of their weight. I recommend taking one meal that is the usual size of what you normally eat for a meal, don't exceed that and you'll be fine.
5. Put on a no-brainer stoner type movie or TV series. Just anything that you don't need to think about that's easy to watch and you don't mind watching halfway. I recommend short TV episodes like South Park.
6. Smoke cannabis. Fast. ;) There should be no meth related paranoia present due to the wonderful benzodiazepines you've consumed.
7. Eat your food before it gets cold. :) (Optional: If you have a multivitamin supplement, take it when you're 1/4 into your food. It gets absorbed better with food.)
8. You should be very ready to sleep by the time you're done eating. =D

Sweet, sweet comedowns. You'll probably be bumping into stuff and all that while having a sleepy, contented smile on your face. It is possible to wake up 8 hours later, but that's not the best way to recover. I'll allocate at least 12 hours for sleeping on this one. You'll be feeling fine again the next day, ready to tweak again (hmm...) or even better, make sure that the next day is free so you can just relax around and drink some beer (not till you get a hangover) and sleep again for a perfect recovery when you wake up again! :)

This is based on personal experience and thus, it may not be a good idea for everyone.

Caution:
Combining benzodiazepines and alcohol in large amounts can be dangerous and possibly fatal! Know your limits and don't exceed it!
