This drug produces a short lived high in which the user is full of energy, has the urge to talk, and experiences euphoria. Cocaine is highly addictive, with users finding the drug irresistible after just a few uses. The following study was conducted by Elite Rehab Placement over the course of two years and researchers found that there were multiple detrimental effects not only on within body of the subjects but also the entire nervous systems themselves. Here are the results:
The Effects of Cocaine on the Brain
Cocaine acts on the central nervous system, increasing the levels of the dopamine in the brain. Dopamine controls the feelings of pleasure in the body; However, when it is constantly stimulated, it becomes damaged creating feelings of depression when the drug is not being used. When the user gains a tolerance, they need to use more cocaine in order to achieve as much of the pleasurable feeling they originally did, which leads the user to overdose. Using cocaine also impairs judgment because it lowers inhibitions, causing people to say and do things that they would not normally.
The Effects of Cocaine on the Body
This drug causes high body temperature, high blood pressure, constricted blood pressure, headaches, and dilated pupils. Those who use this drug are also at risk of gastrointestinal problems such as pain in the abdomen and nausea. Cocaine will also suppress the appetite, making cocaine addicts malnourished. If the user does the drug by snorting the substance, they are at risk for a deviated septum, frequent nose bleeds, a constantly running nose, difficulty swallowing, and the inability to smell.
Chronic users may experience restlessness, high anxiety, irritability, irrational paranoia including auditory hallucinations, weight loss, tooth decay, reproductive harm including infertility, heart attack, and stroke. Long term use of cocaine can result in a various psychological problems such as anxiety disorders and depression, and a loss of interest in life in general.
Cocaine Withdrawal
Once a user stops using cocaine, they will experience:
• High anxiety
• Paranoid thinking
• Difficulty with feeling happy
• Irritability
• Hopelessness
• Intense cravings
• Headaches
• Fatigue
If the user has been mixing cocaine with other substances, such as alcohol or heroin, they will experience these withdrawal symptoms as well, and the symptoms will likely be enhanced.
Antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the depression and anxiety that comes with cocaine withdrawal. Propranolol is often used for withdrawal symptoms because of its ability to suppress adrenaline, thus helping the user with their anxiety levels. Use of this betablocker is especially helpful if the user is also detoxing from alcohol, but it should not be used without medical supervision.
This extremely addictive drug is dangerous, and using it can be life threatening. If you or someone you love is experiencing cocaine addiction, medical attention should be pursued. It is necessary to seek help from a drug rehabilitation center in order to abstain from using this drug. Recovery from cocaine abuse is a process that will not happen overnight, but rather a lifelong journey.
