Get to bed on comedown...

[umich]

What do you guys think would be better to use on the comedown to try and get yourself to sleep without making the next day feel any worse. Ambien (sleeping pills) or Xanax(Benzos). I've heard and read a lot of people taking Benzos but not too much about sleeping pills...

[Bean]

Swim has never used either.Swim always findthemself able to go to sleep, but would like to know the answer as well. The sleeping pills should work butmaybe not at making the comedown the next day any worse.

Sleeping pills ... smoke a joint....

I seriously wouldn't recommend painkillers, benzos or sleeping pills. I've heard a lot of horror stories about people dying from using those after a hard night's rolling on XTC. Now I can't verify the validity of these tales but I still wouldn't take the risk. Stick with something basic, like pot. Even a couple of beers can work because it eases you out the "comedown" state of mind and brings you back to dozy drunkedness which is a-ok when attempting to acquire some of that sweet, sweet sleep.

Make sure you dont get insomnia by proxy by having loads to do the next day / getting up within 10 hours...

Using benzo's can lead to a mental addiction of using benzo's while tripping on E, and that addiction appears without notice and can last even after you've stopped using E.


Do not take benzodiazepines lightly. It's no problem to take some if you really need it, but don't make it a habbit.

like somebody said before, marijuana. doesnt make you feel worse the next day, in fact i find it makes me feel better when i get up cos i usually knock myself out with a huge fat spliff and am still pretty stoned (including red droopy eyes) when i get up.


to be honest though ive never really had any problems with sleeping. maybe its because i usually stay up til i cant stau up no more, rather than trying to force myself to sleep half an hour after ive come down...

i would think some good herb would help, but for me at least, not nearly enough to put me to sleep after any type of speedy drug. alcohol ,imo, would work much better, and as long as u dont drink a ton of it your not gonna feel worse the next day.

[jarka]

[kieran]

going back to what someone said about not taking painkillers.


its true, this happened to a good friend of mine, after a night of rolling he awoke with massive comedown, so decided to take some paracetamol. BANG in seconds on the floor having a fit. called the ambulance, turns out whatever was in the pills re-acted with the paracetamol.

Paracetamol is not a sedative - it is tylenol.

G is the best comedown sedative and has no hangover. Benzos work as
an alternative. The problem with x is that you don't know what you've
taken. With MDMA, there should be no negative reaction with benzos
unless you have a sensitivity to them (some people have bad reactions). In
fact, it is hard to have a reaction to a benzo outside of a sensitivity, since
it is used to control seizures and is hard to overdose on. However, you
can fuck up with any drug, so use your own common sense and
judgement.
SWIM can say that there has never been a problem with either in the past.

When swim first started doing pills he found it hard to sleep afterwards. As a very experienced user swim now always sleeps afterwardsm though the predominant factor is what is in the pills. Swim always finds it easier to sleep if he has had a few beers, tequilas etc whilst high and then smoking a joint at the end of the night. The best thing for a comedown is opium if you can get hold of it. Swim tried it once and slept like a baby
