Best Ways To Recover After A Hard Weekend

i may sound soft saying it, but catching up on lost sleep seems to help...

um? Recover? reality? these are all new to me!!

Berocca...sleep...5htp!

and ya wake up feeling like new! *high fives Davin*

I picked mine up off an online health food store...its expensive either way, but shop around! It is worth it tho..and your brain will thank you!

It's legal to buy, but not sell it in Oz, so no retailer can help you out. I't sperfectly legal to buy over the net and ship it here.

I did an order only a few weeks ago for some friends, and got 6 bottles (60x100mg caps) landed here from the US for $120 total. Beware of some places like i-Herb who ship via DHL, who do a formal customs clearence (despite customs suggesting it doesn't require it), costing over $100 for the clearance alone.

cheers 4 the info Davin...

5htp, here we come

OJ, sleep, and whatever I feel like eating.

if i dont feel like eating i eat fish fingers with chilli sauce. easy as.

Orange juice and sleep. Lots of both.

I usually sleep then go through about 2 litres of OJ in the 8 hours from waking up.

If you can stomach something heavier... boost jusice, works a treat!!!

I've never actually had 5htp for recovering purposes.... heard its definately worth it!!!

Yeah the orange juice works really well. So does 5htp. Chocolate is also really good. Veging out on sofa watching star trek is right up there too.

i make sure i have a banana, a multivitamin tablet an a glass of water, b4 sleeping for at least 8hrs! wen i wake, i try to eat a proper meal, and make sure i drink lots of water and oj throughout the day...

i cant wait to try this 5htp that everyone keeps telling me about!

i'd be keen slide. could use some right now..!

I can't believe you guys actually feel like eating after a big night/weekend. Food is last on my list, lots of fluids for me.

Maybe i should some of the things on here.

food is normally last on my list too, but forcing it down makes u feel HEAPS better.

my checklist is: preparation: sleep, (didnt hapen this weekend tho), dose up on mulitvitamins, anything to help the imune system - vitamin b, c, garlic, horseradish, zinc etc.
Always have 2ltrs of orange juice in the fridge for wen i get home - helps get rid rid of the revi-ness, also a small joint to make me sleepy.
try to get 6hrs sleep, more vitamins, a cigarette and then eat - best things for me (things i can think of stomaching) cheeseburger, kfc, vitabrits wih heaps of milk. sometimes u gotta force it down!
then vitamins all thru the week!! then do it all again the weekend after!

Man now that i think of it i should be doing myself a favour after a weekend of raving, im one slack son of a bitch when it comes to myself it seems.

When the missus asks me this week if i have anything to add to the shopping list ill be armed with a list full of goodies.

Weed is always on my list too slide, lots of it. Helps me sleep also.. that's if the kids and missus allow me to sleep ( read if they shut up )

Hay slide lets us know how much etc... and i proberrly would be keen

Alot of yoghurt is good even canned fruit but my favourite when you have lock jaw and inside you mouth is thrashed is a icey pole of some sought. It help soooth the mouth. Nothing is worse then having the lock jaw

Harley

Lock jaw is shite to say the least.

Something for the 3 and 4 day bender crew...try having at least 1 of those breakfast in a drink type beverages (eg Up N Go) when you go without food. You won't notice much difference at the time, but the recovery period won't be anywhere near as harsh

Hahahah
Great advice from the bender master dav!!

I've ticked the 7 day box more times than can possibly be healthy

cuddles, cuddles and more cuddles

and sometimes massage helps LOL with lots of water after to clear out the toxins

Before the weekend it's -

Vitamic C, Vitamin B, Multivitamins, L-Glutamine and alot of healthy food.

Before I go to sleep I also eat a bannana and any other fruit in the house which is usually apples or something. And also another Multivitamin with a big glass of water.

Usually the reason you feel like crap is because you are dehydrated you also loose alot of vitamins after a big night out..

Slide - I'd be interested, PM me if you still wanna do it!

if ive had a big nite of drinking, a macca's cheeseburger is the only way to go, tho i cant stomach these at any other time!

if ive had a big nite that doesnt involve drinking, i drink lots of oj to boost the immune system,and try and sleep for at least 6-8 hrs! a good meal always helps afta that, tho if its hard to get down, i just force down a banana (gotta help those seratonin levels buid up again )

will be trying that 5htp that everyone talks about soon...cant wait...seratonin, here wecome...

thats my 2c

multi-v .. whole loads of water ... and one whole day of sleep!! hahaha

sleep

I've had a choccie sustagen a couple of times (Benny Z put me on to it!) its has been good when your stomach appears to be inverted...

And tinned peaches. mmm.......

And for the comfort factor if you really can't sleep...

Trackies, a hoodie, big soft warm blanket, big comfy sofa or cushion or something, and a mindless movie that isn't gonna do your head in!! ie: finding nemo, shrek 1 & 2, monsters inc, pretty much any movie from my sons video collection(courtesy of silver_gem!!)

Hahaha you sound like your on the same wave length as my g/friend gem.
She would sleep for days on end if she could

A white chocolate Magnum & one of IMOL's internationally famous face-massages are the only cure for this terrible condition!

If this stuff is good i'm in for the bulk buy... let me know

internationally famous face-massages dont tempt me raveprincess!! I get the worse lock jaw all the time. I constantly tell myself to stop chewing but no matter how many times i do tell myself it just doesnt work

Harley

5htp .. helps alot !! wouldnt know wat to do with out it

One mega antioxidant tablet - with all the goodies.
One Berocca a little later.
Eggs n bacon.
A little later ... a glass of white wine w/ pizza,
Than LOTS of sleep!

actually yeh - red wine helps me!
zonks me out wen i cant sleep..

wat are peoples tricks for getting to sleep? i use OJ and a bong ,sometimes a nossy, but is there a drug or herbal thingy to help?

my original method was tropical gatorade, marlboro lights, copious bongs, dark room filled with scented candles and a mixup with a few friends.
the first gatorade bottles kicked ass, as they were perfect for making bongs out of. i say bring back the glass ones - nothing like bringing out the glass cutter when completely off tap and feeling creative (ie 3 chambered gatorade bongs)

Just train you mind to think of one thing and i seem to knod of well.

Harley

i agree sleep, sleep, sleep... is anyone else ever worried that they can sleep up to the equvilent of a couple of working days?

Best way to recover - about $5 worth of hot chips with vinegar if you feel like being all greasy-like (and can handle the vinegar), or water and plain crackers if you wanna be slightly more healthy.
Sleeping for days at a time also helps

OK sounds like a good plan will have to do that then....

I have usally just copped with the day as it falls

Luckie enough not to suffer too much

Sketcy days are coming............

Im not that organised. For me, I take a couple in the morning, then another couple after sleep and each morning for 2 days afterwards. Have always found it works a treat.

Food, Sleep, Sleep oh and did i mention sleep? He he And if sleep is hard to achieve then pop a Xanax and you're out like a light, wake up feelin pretty good!

Seratonin is generated in your sleep, so a big phat 250mg B6 and some 5HTP before bed gives your body the building blocks to make more seratonin

Spend some time with a quality bird. Turn the phone off, close the blinds, watch some dvds with her and fall asleep.

into the animals, hey! ive heard about those porno's, but never realised it happened in the real world...

appart from the guys who comment about putting peanut butter on their balls wen there's dogs around...

Hahah who says you need to recover

it depends,if its a hangover then greasy food is definatlely the way to go, plus a few good swigs of coke. The cola that is

...what other type of coke can u swig? None that i know of That requires a nasal pasage!

This 5htp you guys speak of sounds wicked, im going to take advantage of the buy 2 get 1 free thing next week.

How long does it take to arrive, if i order next week will i get it b4 anthems?

So true Slide

The best way to recover, check your self into hospital and hook up a drip... Sweet sweet re-hydration!

you'll be feeling refreshed in no time

hmmmm


Ahhhh who am i kidding, grab a beer and a pipey then get wasted thats the road to recovery

i hope i never have to go this far...

I do - means u`v had a stomper of a night!!!
hehehe.
our group always joke around saying, recovery`s at the royal adelaide tommoro morning etc... good times

i agree im never too tired for that and for 2 resons 1 touch is so heightened and2 because it lasts forever yay for come down sex

...mmm (rubs hands together in anticipation for the morning after anthems)

Not long to go

Go out last night did ya mate?

I remember when i was first raving - chem on thursday night then straight to work friday, drinks at my sisters house friday night, at which i got so smashed as i don't eat after a night out then work again on saturday then out to clubland/rise on saturday night then recovery at mine sunday arvo - did that for 6 months solid till i met my missus which was a good thing coz i was getting sick from it all.

Hope u can go home soon Harley, im gonna attempt to get the rest of the day off also - but not coz im rooted just slack

Not really. Went to a couple pubs down the port then retreated to my house and drank sparkling then my mate draged me to the slug and lettuce which is 2 streets away from my house and drank JD's just really hung over. Ive being visiting the toilet alot at work and it doesnt taste good at all

HArley

only 10 days to go until that wonderfull come down yay
oh and the party bfore hand

Yes getting closer indeed....

I bet this forum will be full of cures and remedies after tis w/end

Hello everyone, I thought with Kryptonite and Enchanted next week, waht better time to get everyones recovery techniques and remedys

already prepping the body.. lotsa sleep, good diet, all my vitamins etc etc.

being a party and after party, most people are cranking for 24hrs plus, so make sure (as hard it seems) to eat a couple of times inthat time. best thing, is to buy the sanitarium up-n-go drinks. a couple of them with vitamins twice aday means ur body`s still got supliments and ur tummy feels full. makes the next day better by a mile!

lets crank it up! cant wait!
