Cocaine Withdrawal Symptoms

If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, please call 866-244-1070.

Though cocaine withdrawal may not be as physically intense as withdrawal from some other drugs, it does come with its own set of challenges. If a person has severe withdrawal symptoms or other significant physical or mental health issues, medical detox may be recommended to increase safety throughout the withdrawal process.

Detox alone is seldom enough to help those with a substance use disorder maintain abstinence long-term. Rather, detox should be followed by effective substance use disorder treatment.

I started doing drugs years ago as a teenage, got addicted to cocaine. Spent my whole life fighting cocaine addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder, got diagnosed with OCD. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

The main thing is depression, not sleeping, then over sleeping . Don’t take another drug to replace this just let your body naturally do the work

Funny how every payday I would pay off my dealer then start with a clean sheet and then less than a week later I'm on it again because I got drunk on my day off ..I think i got in to coke around 2016 when my misses left me and according to my bank statement I transferred around 10.000 pounds to my dealer each year so you do the maths

[shorelinemafiaiglives]

I just went through the withdraws. Lasted around 5 days. One thing I experienced that wasn’t mentioned in this video were blackouts. Within the 5 days I had 10+ blackouts. I’d function normally just wouldn’t remember the last 1-5 hours. Most of my blackouts happened at work and none of my coworkers were even aware of it

Anxiety is a bastard for me since quitting and detoxing. Trust me, Anxiety makes you feel like your dying

For 2 years I was throwing money down the drain buying 2 quarters normally a week and that was just normally not even partying hard smh now I have a giant hole in my nose that hurts so bad I need nose reconstruction and I have no insurance but I finally beat that addiction then fell straight into fentanyl for another 2 years and that was worse OMG stay away from that and now I'm currently trying to quit the fentanyl but I went back to doing alot of cocaine again cause it's helping me not get sick smh I just want my life back 😪Im 23 almost 24 and I can't count how many times I've put the barrel in my mouth wanting to end this pain.. I'm sick and tired of being sick and No matter what keep fighting, I like to think that better times are ahead.... Love y'all. Seriously

I sometimes fantasize about what a great life I'd have if I had never even tried cocaine. I've been sober for a while. I just feel so depressed without it, it gets to the point that I get so upset from not being able to fulfill my cravings that I phisically hurt myself. I feel terrible, because everyone around me thinks I'm good sober but the truth is that I would do anything to get high. Evry night I dream about using. It's an obsession, I think about coke 24/7 I'm scared of what i'll do if I ever get a chance to do it again. If I relapse it's over for me, I'd probably OD and die.

[thetruth]

Be strong my man
U will be fine soon
At least U are trying
I khow it won't be easy
Your body your mind will be crazy of needing it but u have to do it
I khow you are hurting your family
But all will end soon

I started heavy when my Mom died in 2019. It's time to quit and move on. I was good until Coronavirus and quarantine hit. I go to work and home. My wife works from home and sometimes it's more than I can bare. But I just spent my last $200 and I'm done. I could use that $ in such a better way. Like renting a boat and going fishing!💯💯 Good luck to everyone, keep fighting U are worth it!💯💯

[Jean-unor]

I just… did a couple bumps after abstaining and quitting for a few years of trying it then getting hooked on and off badly for a little less than a year. Really not worth it.. be well all.

I started my first drug of MDMA when I was 17, I then got in to alcohol, weed and cocaine, I’m now 30, my last drug I took was 3 weeks ago, I don’t know what it was I took as was blacked out from alcohol, I also mixed it with fluoxetine and thyroid medication, I woke up the next day and I felt so dizzy and faint, I had to fall back asleep, I then got stinging eyes, then had a burning stomach feeling but it was like light and empty at the same time, I then had itchy nose, paranoia, then a few days later I got cold sweat and forearm on ear, my body temperature went down to 34.5 degrees, I panicked like mad and felt like I was going to pass out but didn’t, I then that night got a boiling ear. I couldn’t listen to music through headphones because I couldn’t hear anything on top half of my head. I then got black and yellow tongue, blood pressure then went 180/80 and pulse rate of 117 and bpm was 132, so had another panic attack, I’m still seeing docs now and then but it’s been a massive wake up call and I’m going to get clean, it’s now day 22 and I went cold turkey, I don’t know how I’m alive but I wish I’d never touched drugs at 17, or ever, stay safe out there people

[DemonSlayer]

The way I am recovering is by thinking about my wife leaving me which is true if I keep continuing with this addiction…. I need my wife and kids in my life still and I need to do this for them

[geanneoliveira]

I find it interesting that some of those symptoms are also ADHD symptoms as well.

[Slyfox]

I am 6 days sober and it is hard. I can not sleep have bodyaches and feels like i am going crazy.
