SWIY know, this sounds lame, but try to consult their doc. SWIM is on antidepresants and quitting smoking as well as coke/crack, antidepressants make it a LOT easier. Seriously. If SWIY can get thru this without stuff then I applaud them, cos I couldnt do it... Great luck SWIY, SWIM is in the same boat and it sucks.

SWIM has been in the same boat, dbjay.

I don't recommend taking any drugs to avoid the coke withdrawals. Dextroamphetamine affects the EXACT same receptors as cocaine, though in different proportions. If you take d-amp to forgo coke withdrawals, you'll only be avoiding the inevitable-- that painful descent to normal dopamine/serotonin/epinephrine levels.

Just ride it out and be cranky. Save the dextro for a rainy day.

The longer you keep your neurotransmitter levels normal (aka, the longer you abstain from snow and related drugs), the more enjoyable your next fatty line will be. It's all about preventing the ol' neurons from getting used to coke.
