The dreadful comedown

[psycholic]

Swim would like to know is there anything that can reduce the pains of the MDMA comedown.

SwiM would recommend some nice downers. Firstly, they\'ll help you sleep off the immediate aftermath (SwiM can never sleep after a night out), and numb the next day for you nicely. It is a matter of some debate amoungst SwiM and his friends on whether doing nothing all the next day, or occupying yourself with some menial tasks to take your mind off it is the best option. To each his own, I guess.

SWIM is surprised to hear SWIY experience a dreadful comedown off MDMA. SWIM never experiences such, it just wears off gradually. SWIM's advice is to smoke a bowl or spliff, that usually helps in bringing the high back up, and is a nice way to end the evening.

Using downers after MDMA is NOT recommendable. It may work for some in careful doses but generally it is a very risky practice that has resulted in many deaths.

The comedown usually seems harder when the pills seem to be cut with a bit more amphetamine SWIM has found. The comedown itself is rather pleasant and gradual in SWIM's opinion, it just is a bit hard to fall a sleep since there are so many things to think about. Though SWIM will say that listening to nature noises with your eyes closed and your mind relaxed can help in that process.

Another aspect to consider, how much MDMA does SWIY usually take, the higher the amount the longer the comedown will take. Some people have experienced feeling a bit depressed following the days after the MDMA experience, but it is due to the seretonin levels in your brain getting back to normal.

To help with the depression, SWIM has used these supplements called SAM-e, not sure if SWIY has heard of these wonder pills, but they are GREAT! SAM-e, (short for S-adenosylmethionine, also spelled SAMe) is made from the amino acid methionine and ATP. SAM-e is a methyl donor involved in the making of dozens of important compounds in the body. Unlike other methyl donors where the research is scarce, there have been a number of studies with SAM-e. These studies have shown that SAM-e influences brain chemicals by helping to convert norepinephrine to epinephrine and serotonin to melatonin. Hope this helps!

This is probably not what you want to hear, but it's probably best to stop taking 'ecstasy' if the come-down gets too bad.

[FrankenChrist]

Right after, start taking 5-htp or l-tryptamine supplements .
and or an ssri-anti-depressant too.
Hydrate.

[pickledsheep]

Definately 5-HTP and constant, unexcessive hydration. Possibly a sports drink. A nice relaxing cool shower, a glass of warm milk or herbal tea. And reflect on the experience by yourself or with a group of close friends.

Good advice. Now you can edit.

[stoneinfocus]

Don´t take toom much to begin with, consider the quality of the dope , like said before, MDMA come down should be pleasant or at least not dreadful.

NatureBoy, could you back up the fataluities of benzos or downers after MDMA use, please, swim has never heard of it?
