Ok I've done E A few times now, and I havent had a come down. I've taken 5 to 6 pills and felt better than I did the day before I went clubbing, I dont hit it hard or anything maybe go clubbing 2 every 3 months. I also dont get hangovers unless I drink shit loads.
Anyone else get this or do you have to hide from friends and family for a few days.

Out of my friends who are regular rec users, they say they just generally feel pretty rotten, again, the sleeplessness but feeling tired, and quite on edge. A friend of mine uses visualisation techniques to get through it and they also take a couple of sleeping pills to kick start them into sleeping through it.
I've only taken pills 3 or 4 times this year.
A comedown depends on a lot of other factors too, how much you've had to drink, sleep, eat etc.
Yep. Because you can't sleep for hours the whole unpleasant experience of the comedown is prolonged...not nice. Partly why i don't take speed.
I think expectations have a lot to do with it, if you think you have over done it then you will expect to feel worse. But I think it is the length of the session which is the biggest factor because I think a lot of the nastiness of the comedown is extreme tiredness.
Exactly, if you stay up for 36 hours straight, you will feel like you are on a comedown even if you havent taken anything.
I never used to get comedowns but the last 3 or 4 months of my use the comedowns were atroscious, just couldn't handle the shit associated with it all.
That's true to an extent...but your mood is usually affected the next day...mine certainly is anyway. Brain chemistry definitely plays a part.
Think of E minus hallucinations (unless you've taken loads) and without the empathic euphoria. I know people who take it a lot, but it doesn't float my boat at all.
I cannot stress enough how drugs should be avoided when you have problems in your life.
lying there barely able to move .. cold sweat .. stomach doing somersaults .. nearly collapsing if you stand up .. and the not being able to sleep!
the no sleep part definatly is the worst .. body is completly and utterly exhausted but your heads still lit up !
and all that for a shite buzz! i dont think so
a vile chemical that should be avoided if you ask me!
Myself and some friends bought some pills in a London club a few months ago which were ostensibly ecstacy, but we realised from the buzz that it was almost certainly speed (though it took a few hours!). I'd only done one but one of my friends had done two (possibly three) and suffered the worst comedown I've seen to date. He kept having panic attacks, said his heart was beating extremely erratically and fast-paced. Worst thing was that it set me and another friend who had done one off as well...hour and a half of total mental turmoil and torment until the worst of it passed - and then didn't sleep for another day. My friend who had taken two ended up pleading to go to the hospital because he thought he was going to have a heart attack... :shocking:
A nasty drug - even when you're high you become arrogant and reckless.
I havent done them in a long time (I cant trust myself) but I do still have a soft spot for base, just thinking about it makes me go a bit misty eyed, great stuff really, though not for everyone and not for every day use.
Real base, which is actually very rare (most stuff called base isnt) is amphetamine freebase, this because of its sticky paste nature can not easily be cut and therefore is normally stronger.
Amphetamine sulphate is what people normally use (even when its called base) and this is the stable salt of the drug.
The difference with crack in comparison to coke is you can smoke it, therefore you can get it into your body much faster and the hit it stronger. This isnt the case with base/speed.
No, it can make the paranoia worse. It depends on the person, some people get on well with it others dont.
