What Are the Signs & Symptoms of a Cocaine Overdose?

An overdose on stimulants like cocaine is very different than an overdose on depressants like opioids, alcohol, and benzodiazepines. An overdose on depressants is often dose-dependent and results in severe respiratory depression and slowed or stopped heartbeat. Conversely, a cocaine overdose can occur with any dose and is manifested by many cardiovascular events.

Cocaine overdose symptoms and signs may include:

Irregular heart rhythm
Difficulty breathing
High blood pressure
High body temperature (hyperthermia)
Hallucinations
Extreme agitation or paranoia
Anxiety or panic
Heart attack
Seizure
Stroke

A cocaine overdose has the potential to be life-threatening and should be taken seriously. A person overdosing on cocaine is experiencing what is called cocaine toxicity, meaning they have taken a toxic dosage of cocaine.
