"Comedown" is a single by British rock band Bush from their first album Sixteen Stone. It was released as the third single from the album in 1995.

Comedown may refer to:

• Comedown (drugs), the aftereffects of stimulant use
• Comedown (film), a 2012 film starring Adam Deacon

Comedown or crashing is the deterioration in mood that happens as a psychoactive drug is cleared from the blood and thus the cerebral circulation. The improvement and deterioration of mood ( euphoria and dysphoria) are represented in the cognitive schema as high and low elevations; thus, after the drug has elevated the mood (a state known as a high), there follows a period of coming back down. Such a comedown (down, low, crash) can happen to anyone as a transient symptom, but in people who are dependent on the drug (especially those addicted to it), it is an early symptom of withdrawal and thus can be followed by others. Various drug classes, most especially stimulants and opioids, are subject to crashing. A milder analogous mood cycle can happen even with blood sugar levels (thus sugar highs and sugar lows), which is especially relevant to people with diabetes mellitus and to parents and teachers dealing with children's behavior.

Comedown is a 2012 British urban horror film directed by Menhaj Huda, and written by Steven Kendall. Dubbed " Kidulthood meets Saw", the film stars Jacob Anderson, Adam Deacon and Geoff Bell in the lead roles. It premiered on 4 October 2012, at film festival Grimmfest, but was not released to cinemas on general release, and instead was expected to be released direct-to-DVD on 11 March 2013. The film was shot on a budget of $2,000,000, and was filmed in a suburb of London close to the O2 Arena.
