Understanding Cocaine Addiction
How Cocaine Affects the Brain and Body
Cocaine is a highly potent and addictive stimulant that can cause a rush of euphoric effects on the brain, including alertness, excitement, restlessness, irritability, and anxiety, due to dopamine production. Prolonged use of cocaine causes the brain and body to develop a dependence on the substance, relying on it for these feelings of euphoria and happiness. One may experience loss of appetite, high blood pressure, high heart rate, heart conditions, and convulsions, among other physiological effects.

Signs and Symptoms of Cocaine Use Disorder
Behavioral Signs of Cocaine Abuse
Cocaine abuse can be noted by several behavioral signs, such as persistent social problems, irresponsibility when it comes to work, home, and school obligations, and centering one’s life around cocaine use. This includes seeking out the substance continuously and using the substance in hazardous situations.
Physical and Mental Health Consequences
You may also experience strong cravings and withdrawal symptoms when you are not using the substance, leading to unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control cocaine use. Persistent use can create a higher tolerance for the drug, which can affect your mental health as your brain begins to rely on cocaine for dopamine production. Depression, anxiety, and physical health depletion can all result from cocaine abuse.
