How to ease hangovers caused by amphetamines



"Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash"
Lou Reed - Walk on the wild side

Most people will not experience much of a hangover when they are new to drugs like speed, coke or E. But eventually most will.

Luckily there are several different ways to ease the amphetamine blues and They are all listed below. The one that probably works best for most people are described first.

NB: The information below is aimed at amphetamine hangovers. Cocaine users can be helped by After C and/or Prepare and repair. If you got a hangover from E then try After E and/or Prepare and repair. If you are feeling really down for a longer period of time due to excessive usage of E (poor child) then 5-HTP is the thing for you. (More info on 5-htp).

The best headshop in the world (IMHO):


There can be withdrawal symptoms in drug abuse treatment especially
if the patient is both physically and psychologically addicted.

Dopamine precursors  


A lowered dopamine level in the brain is the main cause of the Amphetamine blues. You will feel down until your brain has reached its normal levels again. But there is a way to make the brain recover much more quickly:

You can eat L-tyrosine and/or phenylalanine that are both precursors of dopamine. Your brain "makes" dopamine out of them.

Eating these amino acids will make the comedown a lot less hard on you. Here is how they are used.

  • Order some L-tyrosine/B6 pills.
  • Buy some orange or lemon juice (or anything that contains a lot of vitamin C)
  • Take one or two of the pills the morning, afternoon and evening the day after you have been speeding. Each time together with a glass of juice.
  • Do not eat much protein (no meat, nuts, eggs, seeds or milk) two hours before and two hours after you've taken the pills
  • Repeat this for as long as you feel down. Normally one to two days will be enough. (My last come down vanished after I had consumed six of these pills)

If you are following the schedule above and still feel very depressed (not very likely) you can try and eat some 5-htp together with the L-tyrosine. This combination even a little bit more effective.

   


Other ways to ease the amphetamine blues

Alcohol / GHB / GBL  

I've tried drinking beer and GHB while I felt down. It helps - but not as much as eating dopamine precursors. Unfortunately it also seems to prolong the comedown significantly.
   
Pills (Valium, Rohypnol, Xanor, Nozinan ...)  

Eating a lot of pills like valium works fine. But there are some drawbacks: it's addictive and tolerance builds quickly. Still, if you got them, they sure work fine (but not as good as l-tyrosine). Try and combine these pills with dopamine precursors, then you can kiss the blues goodbye.
   
Cannabis  


I only tried it once and it made me feel much worse. I know of people who use it though.

   
Other stuff that may help  


Eat healthy food such as fruits (especially bananas), nuts, seeds, chocolate and vegetables. Exercise (or just take a long walk), rent a funny movie, sleep a lot, meet friends, dance even if you got no rhythm, sing even if you got no singing voice, play computer games, draw, call a friend-in-need-line and chat, read a book ... Anything that keeps you from just lying there thinking.

   
Take more speed

 

The worst "solution". It will only make it worse in the end.
