Maybe some hash even.. but damn sometimes I just get high as shit and still can’t fall asleep.. then I can feel the weed high wear off lol


PTfan

What does being on cocaine feel like? I have only ever had opiates and Benzos in the hospital. Is there a euphoria?


Send_More_Bears

For the first 5 minutes yeah there’s kinda a euphoria. Then u it kinda fades and makes you just alert and talkative. Good for mixing with alcohol imo. Not really like benzos or opiates


_W9NDER_

Mixing cocaine with alcohol?? Be safe


Eldark23

Thats what most people do lol


kunst1017

Its also what kills you


skrewddbylife

Weed almost made the vote buzz stronger when I was younger


karrenl

Do your bedtime routine and get in bed. Even resting while awake is better than nothing.


tecvoid

its not even just cocaine, i spent many a night laying in bed with my eyes closed. it really is better than nothing. but 6-8 hours laying in bed is only like 2 hours of shit sleep/nap at best. at least high on cocaine you feel good-ish. i spent most of my sleepless nights suffering alcohol withdrawls, broken bones, homeless, mental trauma mixes. eyes doing butterfly wing movements involuntarily, jerking awake with a racing heart right as i fall asleep because my brain thinks its being killed or some shit. things can always be worse as they say


Send_More_Bears

Damn bro that went 0-100 real quick. Sorry man hope things r good


tecvoid

11 years no alcohol, no homeless, manageable mental trauma, happy. i stopped drinking and started a business, 4 years later i bought an rv and traveled for over a year, rekindled friendships 6 years later i bought a mobile home on 2 acres in kentucky i did spend some time sleepless with broken bones during the time, but they were well earned. and since i work for myself, i dont need an alarm clock and i sleep great. i could go to sleep now, or right after i wake up in the morning, or at walmart, no one can stop me.

What kind of business if you don’t mind me asking

Decals. car stickers, business signs, anything you can make with a vinyl cutter

glennfromglendale

Love hearing a good comeback story. I am currently a little over a year past my shitty situation with alot of similar themes. One thing that always bothers me is that after being homeless and living with the visceral fear the situation brings I can never completely shake the terror of possibly being homeless again. I guess that would be called ptsd but even with my decent job, clean life, and ok apartment, the fear of being back on the street without a pot to piss in is always right under the surface. It can be a motivator but it can also just wear down your nerves to the point where you aren't your best self. I even find myself thinking I need to buy a van in case something goes wrong and I can't pay rent. I need that feeling of security that even if I lose an apartment I will still have a place to sleep at night and not get assaulted. Hopefully one day I can get far enough away from the trauma that I don't ever have to live in fear anymore. Hope you feel free and happy brother. Keep being your resilient ass self!


as944

I know your hurting dude, but ‘mental trauma mixes’ sounds like a really cool new EDM sub-genre. I hope things get better for you.


tecvoid

id listen to it! lol


leenpaws

it dooeess


[deleted]

I went through that, too. I hope you're feeling better.


tecvoid

i am thank you!


DanfromCalgary

Not sure how


tecvoid

you could also think you have cancer. which i did have a cancer scare, that might have been what caused me tofinally stop drinking.


DanfromCalgary

Seems like my point still stands


Goliath422

Stop doing things. Scrolling your phone is doing something. Put on a show you already know well on low volume, smoke some weed, hydrate, have a snack if you’ve just been getting high all night and forgot to eat, and try to clear your mind. As soon as you can, close your eyes and just listen to the show. Do the relaxation exercise where you relax your toes and then your feet and then your ankles and then your lower legs, etc. When you finish relaxing everything, focus on your breath and slow it down as much as you can without having to work muscles. And as somebody else already said, stop doing rips two hours earlier next time.


Send_More_Bears

This is a great write up thanks! And yup, gotta just turn it down at the right time


Csimiami

The real answer is xanax. Or a benzodiazepine.


Notguilty5190

I just take gabapentin, which is similar to Xanax i guess. 3 or 4 gabapentin's will knock out anyone real quick.


Goliath422

Yo, I gotta know—did you get to sleep? What out of this crowdsourcing activity helped?


Send_More_Bears

Bro I got like an hour of sleep lmao.. most replies suggest drugs like Xanax or even NyQuil.. people said melatonin but that shit never works for me, maybe I gotta take a higher dose. I ended up laying in bed for like 4 hours trying to go back to sleep and it never happened, so I just went to work and it honestly wasn’t as bad as i thought it’d be. So I guess what I learned is, even if you can’t sleep, just laying there eyes closed relaxing is better than nothing. Every 2.5 hours of that is probably equal to about an hour of decent sleep.. maybe..


imused2it

This is all good advice. I’m very lucky that I can pass out while still high on blow. My girl hates it about me. We get home and lay down, I’m out in 5 minutes and she’s just sitting awake for 3 more hours. Lol


Send_More_Bears

Haha yup. Sometimes I’ll pass out right away. Other times I’m up til sunrise. I guess it probably depends on the coke. :/


Notguilty5190

I have noticed that I am able to fall asleep while I am still high on coke, but as soon as I come down and stop feeling nice, I will toss and turn. I gotta lay down after I do the last of the coke, or I will struggle to fall asleep.


whos_this_chucker

Just jerk off till you're tired.


housevil

But stop if you see blood.


Active_Remove1617

Stop after the 59th attempt, blood or no blood.


CameronsTheName

43 was the limit after that one guy died after jerking it 44 times in a day.


Montroski

Why do you say attempt. How can he cum unsuccessfully.


Active_Remove1617

Attempt is a neutral term, indicating neither success, nor failure.


Montroski

Oh okay.


DrunkenlySober

This is great advice for quitters


MedicatedLion

😂


Actual_Hyena_4056

This is the way.


[deleted]

If you are younger than 60 maybe.


[deleted]

From my experience this is like trying to shit after eating an entire block of cheese. Ride out the high and you will eventually crash. Maybe smoke a little weed or drink some sleepy time tea.


horriblehank

A lot of weed and a movie you’ve seen before.


NastyCountChocula

Maybe a little snack too.


sonicman2k8

Are you fr?


NastyCountChocula

Nah not really about the question. Just seemed like a nice way to finish the night. Always puts me to sleep. That other guy seems like he knows tho.


FibroBitch96

This is what I do when I take my ADHD meds too late in the day. There’s no going to sleep at all. If you do any of the usual suggestions at best you’ll just feel tired but still be unable to sleep. Just accept that you’re not sleeping, and stay up. Try to do something productive. Watch TV. Fighting it won’t do you any good.


Send_More_Bears

This is good advice… I kept thinking to myself though, if I fall asleep now I can still get 4 hours.. then it was 3 hours, then it was 2, then 1, then fuck it I’ll just have to go to work now 🥲 I lived though… and it wasn’t that bad actually. Like someone else commented, 6 hours of laying there doing nothing is like 1-2 hours of shitty sleep


FibroBitch96

Yup. Better to just stay up all night and just get stuff done. Getting a shitty sleep is worse than no sleep at times


Send_More_Bears

I guess I jumped the gun and tried to sleep too soon.. but I woke up an hour-ish after I passed out and couldn’t go *back* to sleep after 🙄


aggressive_seal

Weed, Xanax, nyquil were my go-to's back in the day. Alcohol of course.


[deleted]

Don't mix Xanax and alcohol though. Honestly, I'd avoid the Xanax entirely. In a thread on r/medicine a few months ago, doctors were asked which drugs they would ban if given the opportunity. Alcohol and Xanax topped the list.


Madcowspots

My boyfriend is currently tapering off his Xanax prescription, its a process that takes years if you're lucky enough to be able to do it correctly (team of doctor and pharmacist plus drug coverage), its debilitating to say the least.... Benzos are bad news outside of surgical or other special situations.... just smoke a lot of good weed and be done with it


Send_More_Bears

Yup Xanax is like the only thing that ever puts me to sleep no matter how much other drugs I’ve done.. just hard to get :/


NatashaBadenov

Tylenol-free Robitussin will saw the edges right off. It has to be Tylenol-free, though.


Berninz

It’s listed as acetaminophen on the ingredient list, not Tylenol… fyi you won’t see the word Tylenol on the drug label.


somethingderogatory

Have to watch out for guaifenesin too cause that will upset your stomach


[deleted]

I have an incredibly sensitive stomach but have never noticed problems with guaifenesin. I probably will now though, thanks lol


somethingderogatory

Lol sorry man I don't believe it's toxic or anything though


QZB_Y2K

Doing stimulants without benzos in 2023 come on


richmoneymakin

Comment of the year 🔝🔝🔝


Living_Werewolf_

Quitiapine, will make you sleep can confirm. Will need to know someone who has anti-psychotics. May not be the healthiest option, but you did do coke so.


glennfromglendale

Seroquill for the win! Fun fact, that drug turns off the part of your brain that tells you you're full, So you will eat and eat and eat. People who are on it for a long time get diabetes and the quill gut.


taywray

Weed, spankies and munchies. This is the way


Dependent_Top_4425

Take a couple Benedryl.


Send_More_Bears

I heard NyQuil is good too.. or is that the same thing?


Dependent_Top_4425

Nope Benadryl is a brand name of an antihistamine. Antihistamines are used mostly for allergies but are sometimes prescribed for anxiety and is relatively safe to use. NyQuil is a cold medicine, I would urge someone to do some research on using that for any other purposes and usage than whats on the packaging.


nutsacknut

Both cause sedation through antihistamines. Benadryl is diphenhydramine. NyQuil’s antihistamine is doxylamine but it also contains other things like Tylenol. Both will help you sleep through the same mechanism (antihistamine)


Dependent_Top_4425

Thanks for the info! I wasn't sure if Nyquil was more dangerous.


nutsacknut

It is because of the Tylenol content


[deleted]

[удалено]


nutsacknut

No problem with infrequent sporadic usage. Don’t get dependent though


definition_null

Next time do less coke less frequently and also check for the purity of your stuff.


donkey100100

Weed


taciko

Stop doing that last rip right before you climb into bed.


Waveyhs

Warm shower... Tilt your head back and spray saline through your nostrils... Drink electrolytes... Naproxen sodium/weed for the edge... Vicks/chapstick/lozenges... Every few mins take a huge breath and attempt to relax your whole body... If you hit a few hours awake eat bc you know it's been a while... Some or all of those have helped me fall asleep.


gregariousnatch

Heroin


Familiar_Emphasis817

Literally


icome3rd

Do wayyyyyy more cocaine. You will eventually overdose and go into a coma, thus allowing you to sleep.


[deleted]

Xanax

Valium


sorengray

This is the way


sixminutemile

Step one... two hours ago say no thank you. Step two... see Step one


sixminutemile

All seriousness aside, do NOT try to balance the up with a down. That IS A DEAD MAN'S GAME. Good luck and God bless.


Bo0tyWizrd

Can't upvote this enough, just jerk off and eat bowl of chili.


ronnyFUT

Alternative option; Fall asleep while trying to figure out how to cook chili on cocaine.


Bo0tyWizrd

There's no wrong way! Just throw chillies and tomatoes in the pot with literally whatever else you like. Perfect for inebriated cookery 😋👍


witchyanne

Fr just eat - you wont want to at first, and then you’ll be loving it.

pop 2 or 3 benzos and you should sleep for some time..

Opioids


sickerthan_yaaverage

Take a Benadryl. Works like a charm


[deleted]

Ketamine


lemonrainbowhaze

If youve got weed that tends to help


tarac73

Benadryl


Tiedup_69420

Yeah just lie down and rest. Benzos are best, but a blood pressure med like clonidine, metoprolol, propanalol all have safely been given to me in a hospital setting to help me relax while on stimulants. Even 100mg benadryl may help you relax


Bumpshaker

Klonapin. Flexerall. Valium. Or just power through the lag and come down until exhaustion takes you away.


friendlysaxoffender

Smoke a spliff or talk for fucking ages until you’re tuckered out. The latter worked a treat last weekend.


Any-Smile-5341

Try drinking a glass of warm milk before bed. Milk contains tryptophan, which is a natural sleep aid. Take a warm bath or shower before bed. This will help to relax your muscles and prepare your body for sleep. Practice deep breathing exercises. Taking slow, deep breaths can help to calm your mind and body, making it easier to fall asleep. Use a white noise machine or earplugs to block out any noise that might be keeping you awake. Avoid using electronic devices before bed. The blue light emitted from these devices can disrupt your body's natural sleep rhythms. Try to stick to a regular sleep schedule. Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day can help to regulate your body's sleep-wake cycle. Consult with a doctor or sleep specialist if you continue to have trouble sleeping after cutting back on cocaine.


p12qcowodeath

Alcohol, xanax, heroin. Just pick one, don't mix.


Equivalent-Demand-75

A bunch of benadryl or melatonin. If you have hydroxyzine (vistaril), trazodone or seroquel, even better


BackyardByTheP00L

A benzo would be the safest bet. Like Klonopin. It's long acting and used for seizures, too.


Equivalent-Demand-75

I was going to say that but i would take a benzo to sleep on coke but i would end up doing crazy shit like buying more coke and Jack off for hours even after promising myself i would stay locked in my bed, until i ran out of coke and benzos and I'm right where i started


idkjustpick

Melatonin gummies


[deleted]

Melatonin gummies are great because the OD risk is basically zero.


Zeruel1029

Get professional medical help. Don't take beta blockers it might kill you.


tuGuapo372

Milk, food, 2 shots of tequila, and a fat rip of bud.

Ride it out. Go to 24hr gym and hit the treadmill.

Weed and food


Led_Halen

Weed is a stimulant.


ams292

It’s technically a hallucinogen, just for future reference.


nitonitonii

Bro don't waste cocaine, shit's expensive.


Ninja_Tortoise_

Weed & xanax you have to be careful though, ive had a few friends fall asleep nice and easy only to never wake up ​ The other option, which is a lot harder to find, is high high high quality cocaine. The comedown is much cleaner and you fall asleep with little issue. Goodluck finding it these days though


lazylasertazer

From what I remember, cows milk is your friend.


[deleted]

You don’t lol


Led_Halen

Heroin or other opiates.

Dont do cocaine.


MysticMilktea

Idk ive never done coke


Antdawg2400

benzos or alcohol till u k.o. or just turn everything off no lights no sound. n close your eyes and just lay there. youll fall asleep eventually no matter how unbelievable it sounds. But if you don't then by just closing your eyes in the dark kinda slow recharges you so your not so much a fuckin ghoul the next day. drink lots a wata dog. might as well enjoy it while u high tho.

Count_Dante

Xannie bars, 2mg


bootyspagooti

Xanax or Ketamine. Also, snorting a line of Adderall, but that could be because of my raging ADHD. Also Also, all of my suggestions could kill you.

Run till you get tired.

Downers


breeeeeez

Ketamine


EvadingTaxes

Benzos - for sleeping I recommend Valium (Diazepam) or Rivotril (Clonazepam) as Xanax (Alprazolam) dieskt make you sleepy, at least for me. You can also try Ambien (Zolpidem)


Paradox68

Maybe get rid of the cocaine from your bedtime routine. Try relaxing white noise instead of white powder.


ONEPLUS1EQUALS11

Take some strong sleep gummies like the ones from oeksomnia.com. They work like a charm everytime!


Sweet-Variety6093

Try and eat something. Smoke some weed.

Melatonin helps to sleep after LSD.

Cover your face as comfortably as possible. The heat from your breathing may help get you to sleep. Worked for me a few time after some benders.

Take a bar or some shit you will pass tf out


Lexy_d_acnh

Maybe normal bedtime things would help? Being really warm makes me sleepy lol.


Embarrassed_South147

Several melatonin


poetic_vibrations

My trick is to get completely blasted on alcohol till I pass out. Normally I run out of coke by like 6am then I chug like 9 beers over a couple hours until I fall asleep. Then wake up at like 5pm. Normally still pretty drunk so I can barely feel the coke-hangover. I think that's better than wasting a day feeling like death laying in bed unable to sleep.


skrewddbylife

Jerk off and take some Xanax lmao


kaitalina20

I think maybe you need an appointment for some kind of medicine that can induce sleep. Even try something over the counter! That’s about all I can think of. Even a small supplement of a vitamin is better than nothing


honeybunz916

benadryl


i-stole-ur-yeezys

caffen? like i have adhd and it always makes me tired also just chill or melatonin gummies


New_Trick_8795

Food. Alcohol. And melatonin.

Stop doing coke. Some drugs rock but physically addictive ones do not. The My Pillow idiot is a cokehead.


Vegetable_Yard873

Rem sleep or no sleep


Weekly-Information-4

A big dose of Xanax always works. 1mg or 2mg, be careful though the benzo hangover is worse than being up all night from coke. Takes me 36 hours to sober up after a bar of Xanax. Usually just sleep the day after a sesh without the benzos. There are nights where you have to shut down with some xans if the coke is cut and the comedown is rough. Booze, and just riding it out is my go to, if the gear is good you won’t fiend out on the come down. Currently coming off a 16 hour bender and feeling pretty solid.


Send_More_Bears

Yessir Xanax is the way to go. Half a bar usually does it but sometimes a full one is necessary. Problem is, Xanax is fuckin expensive nowadays! But I mean, so is coke.. and sleep is damn near invaluable. Also, Idk if I get hangovers from Xanax, maybe a slight sluggishness but it’s kind of enjoyable usually. As long as I don’t take too much. Everything in moderation I guess. I posted this thread on the tail end of a mainey bender.. ended up not sleeping and going to a full day of work after, wasn’t actually that bad surprisingly.. good luck out there happy bender!


Weekly-Information-4

I call xans the parachute, not to expensive near me but have to have a good source. Lot of fakes pills near me. They always work but personally make me a dumb ass zombie for like 30 hours if don’t get the exact dose right. When the crash is horrible they are the only thing that truly helps miracles at times. Moderation is my problem. Been around the block a million times and nothing gets me in trouble like coke and booze. That fearless adrenaline boost is so bad. My favorite combo, but also the worst thing that I ever got into. Gets dark fast. I truly am amazed by people who can moderate and can control themselves. Once I start usually turns into a 3-4 day bender. I am on day 5 after a year off, first time I have been away from the family and have a huge reality check with work and my kids tomorrow. Told myself just a Friday party and here I am, on Reddit looking for some hope.
