Comedown Cure

[supaman]

After a heavy night clubbing on E's I find the next day i feel really rough and cant get the motivation to do anything. Does anyone know a drug i can take as a pick-me-up to get me moving again?

[andy hughes]

Is common sense and reespect for your body available in tablet form? Take two of those, and see if it helps.

[jills]

Andy...surprised by your answer.

supaman.....I always found that plenty of fluids (water and OJ, or lucozade if you can stomach it) helped re-hydrate me etc.  Also, eating carbs etc (again, if you can face it). Too much sugar gave me a headache, btu I knwo some folk swear by Mars bars etc as a pick me up.  but to be honest, I found the best way was to do absolutely sod all the day after....just have a chill out day, with a few joints perhaps, and by night time I was feeling more on an even keel.

[supaman]

thanks for that jills, i am normally not too bad but i did 10 on friday and i suffered saturday. Maybe i will just limit it to 7 or 8 and i will feel better.

Lucozade Hydro drink and chocolate and a bag of salt and vinegar crisps always seems to do the trick!

Oh honestly! I haven't particularly got a problem with people taking drugs - as long as they intefere with no body, it's none of my business what they choose to put into their bodies. I wish they'd legalise the whole lot, including class A's and all the rest of it. Get the government some tax revenue, get rid of the criminals etc etc stop it being 'glamorous' etc... 

But you sound like a right twit asking for a drug.

1) If you're having to take 10 pills, they're not ecstacy, they're something else.

2) The reason that you feel rough is that you've knackered your body's ability to produce serotonin. Serotonin is what makes people happy. E (and the drugs sold as E) work by sending production of serotonin through the roof. Your body then suffers a hang over as it tries to regulate the production; E users can spend up to 4 days attempting to get back to a normal state. The last thing your overtaxed system needs is another drug. At least Jills' advice was basically good. No one knows the long term effects of playing about with your serotonin levels in this way, but there are good grounds to believe that it may cause depression.

If you're going to do drugs, at least have the wits and intelligence to know what the effects are in advance, and how to cope with any problems that may arise. Oh, and please don't talk to non-drug users; you have no idea how catastrophically dull it is listening to druggies talk.

they were real e's coz they had little doves on them.  Brian Harvey from east 17 used to do 10 in a night, he is so cool.

[jenky]

Following on from Waldo's answer. The body never quite recovers from the seratonin onslaught. Your seratonin receptors can only cope with a certain influx of the chemical and if too much floods in then they get fried. This damage is permanent which is why over use of ecstsy is thought to lead to depression as the body is unable to process and react to all the seratonin it produces.

i normally only take E's if i have little cash as I would rather have coke.  Maybe i will have a few lines on my comedown day to try and pick me up.

[georgit79]

jills, why are you surprised by andyhughes' answer?

I would have thought it was obvious that if you put toxins into your body, you are going to feel rough the next day. I wouldn't then ruin your body even more by taking another drug to try and combat the ill-effects of the first one, as you'll just feel rough from that one the day after.

If you have to take E's at all (and I'm not preaching, but I can't see why you take them when, from all the news lately, you know that one rogue pill could easily kill you), then just be sensible the next day and take in lots of fluids and sugar.

[georgit79]

OK supaman, now I've read your reply to jills and feel that you could be winding us up. 10 pills? Do you have a brain?

[ICEMANSAV]

Has to be a wind up!! Someone thinks Brian Harvey is Cool!! can't believe it!

[georgit79]

OK supaman just saw your third post about Brian Harvey so I know you're definitely taking the pi**. Taking E's really isn't a joke now, is it?

[supaman]

i normally do about 5-8 in an evening but the only problem is i start gurning after about 4.  I was really tired on friday and the illegal rave was going on till about 7am so i had to take them to stay awake.

[ICEMANSAV]

Pi$$ take

[georgit79]

Ok supaman, ha ha, very funny. Enough!

[WaldoMcFroog]

Ok, clearly a joke question. Well done.

[supaman]

it is NOT a joke, why do all of you people claim everyone elses questions are jokes or fake?

[WaldoMcFroog]

Becuase someone who thought Brian Harvey was laudable would not be able to breathe and type at the same time.

[georgit79]

We think it's a joke because you take 10 pills on an average night and think Brian Harvey is cool! Come to think of it, maybe you would think Brian Harvey was cool if you took 10 pills! Anyway, I've already given a serious answer, so you can read that and ignore my other ones if you like.

Oh, and another reason I think you're taking the pi$$: a couple of lines of coke as a cure? Come on! If you were a regular drug user you'd know that wouldn't be a good idea...

[supaman]

i do realise it wouldnt be a good idea to do a couple of lines because i would want more and end up doing a couple of grams.
