Symptoms of withdrawal from cocaine

The sympthoms of cocaine withdrawal are more psychological than physiological.

They include depression and anxiety, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, inability to feel pleasure, increased craving for cocaine, physical symptoms including aches, pains, tremors, and chills.


Cocaine withdrawal is rarely medically serious. Regular cocaine use may alter the production of more than 1,000 proteins in the neurons of the brain's reward system. Each affected protein may contribute to the cognitive and behavioral changes that mark the transition from voluntary to compulsive drug taking.
