ADDICTION: SUBSTANCE ABUSE COMMUNITY
is cocaine withdrawal dangerous?

is cocaine withdrawal dangerous?

its been 9 months since i tried cocaine the first time eversince ive had bad experinces
but i thank god that im still alive and i never had a heart attack or anything too bad.
ive tried to quit before but i somehow feel i was more addicted than now cause i did way more,
i was pretty bad for 2 months and after i just decided to lower my dose becasue i was extremly depressed and the antidepressives made me worse.

now its been 5 weeks since my last dose and im depressed and anxious but not like before
this time ive really decided to quit no matter what




but i wonder if cocaine withdrawals are dangerous or if im a risk  of having a heart attack still.
or not?
also i want to know if its possible to go throught withdrawal without anti depressants ?????
i really had a bad experience taking those

There is no physical withdrawal from cocaine, but the mental is brutal.

Have you ever considered inpatient treatment? It is the most successful method for cocaine addiction....recovery that is.

inpatient treatment would be like the priory  when you stay for what ever period and get therapy. usually v expensive, but as cocaine is not physically addictive therapy would focus on the psychology that caused you initial addiction to occur

I know exactly what you are going through with the coming off of cocaine.  I smoked crack and snorted coke for close to ten years.  I tried and tried and tried to get off of it.  I tried to get into treatment centers and was unsuccessful, they wanted me to always do outpatient programs never intreatment which I felt I needed.  The reason being is because I always ended up binging again and attempting suicide twice.  I definitely don't recommend that way out!  Anyway I just went through the outpatient programs and kept going until something just clicked in my head and I was finally ready to quit.  I never had any withdrawals but make no mistake that is one hell of a demon to get rid of.  It is a mental mind f%$k to say the least.  It was one of the scariest experiences of my entire life and I have been through almost everything.  The trick I think to kicking cocaine is staying busy with sober people and activities, don't go anywhere you used to go to cop dope, stay away from people you used with.  Go to meetings (NA) they will keep you on the right track.  Kicking that addiction has been the best thing I have ever done, I still get scared when I am near bad neighborhoods and known users (members of my family).  I will pray for you brother, just stay away from that first line or bump or however you used it!
