After two weeks of the following symptoms:
Extreme fatigue, "brain tension", disoriantated, depressed mood, agitation and anxiety, i can say that im starting to get better.
I quickly understood that something was very wrong, and im not perfectly back to normal, but i can function and feel a bit of joy and relaxation again. I started exercising, taking vitamines and eating healthy. I also got some sleeping pills and anti depressant from my doctor, which really helped. Defiantly the two worst weeks of my life.

I'm still feeling disoriented and a slight numbness in my forehead, and some other strange feeilings, like not feeling tired or hungry. Im still feeling 10x better than a couple of days ago though. This is actually livable, though i'm afraid it may be a while before i feel normal again. Some say it can take 6 months, some say 2 years and some say it's permanent.
It would be nice with more comments from ppl suffering from the same symptoms, even if you don't feel better.
Stay positive. Cheers.

I put a post up around 4 months ago. I still have the symptoms albeit not as bad some days. I've found exercising 30 mins a day is the best thing for me. Alcohol is terrible - it takes at least 3 days to get back to the usual anxiety level. I believe what happened to me was that I tried cocaine for the first time, had too much, experienced a fairly severe anxiety attack and from then onwards have been in a more or less constant state of mild to severe anxiety. The doctor thinks its just anxiety and all the symptoms that we experience- for me - tense forehead, feint ringing in ears/sensitive to sounds, occasional heavy heart etc are all common to anxiety sufferors. I'm still trying to get over this nightmare but my advice for anybody who is really suffering, as I was in a much worse state a few months back, is to exercise at least 30 mins EVERY day, cut sugar/caffeine/alchohol from your diet, and when you get that horrible anxious feeling breathe in slowly count 1,2,3,4,5 and breathe out 1,2,3,4,5 - usually if you concentrate on that for 5 mins or so the feeling goes away - going for a run also has similar effect. Also if you can see a psychiatrist it about cognitive behavioural therapy i've heard that can be good but am yet to try it myself. I'll keep you all updated. Good luck.
I'm the one with the recent posts about getting better, well, i may have spoke too soon. I'm getting better, although very slowly, i think.
Still feels like a "dreamy" world. Stressfull situations really gets me clumsy and forgetfull, defiantly anxiety related. It all started three weeks ago when i thought i OD'd on cocaine, i didnt freak out or anything, just got a silent panic attack lasting for 2-3 hours, actually slept well that night. The next night i didn't sleep at all, which was pretty scary. Was awake for 30 hours, which is pretty unnormal for me. I drove home to my parents, and have lived here for the past 3 weeks. The symptoms sound a lot like derealization, but it's hard to say. Anxiety plays a big role. I remember i woke up one day, thinking i was much better, and drove to the mall, boy was i wrong. Couldn't focus on anything and talking to people was very hard. Currently i'm trying to get off my med's, because i dont think they actually are helping much.
How do you feel towards things you used to enjoy? I find that it's hard to watch TV. Dont know where to put my eyes anymore. Can't really focus. I have started exercising and eating healthier, which defiantly helps. Writing a diary helps me remember things. I also don't feel tiredness or relaxation the same way anymore. Getting pretty anxious when it's time to sleep.
I will get through this, and so will everyone else^^
Time heals all wounds.
Good luck!

Update: The tension in my forehead is almost completely gone, i belive this is very much stress or anxiety related. Still feeling a bit anxious though. The rest of the symptoms are still present.
Going to try L-tyrosine supplement. Also i am taking Magnesium, Vitamin B complex and fish oils. Trying to exercise every day. I have no job or other worries, so im basically dedicating my entire life on getting rid of this "condition", even if it takes 10+ years.
Sadly, im spending way too much time reading on forums etc. ^^
I wish all of you the best of luck. I have endured 28 days now, and the worst part is defiantly over.

Everything everyone has posted here is just anxiety thats come after youve taken the drug. I've been through all this just over 2 years ago when i tried something for the first time and had a major panic attack for 3 hours. I was really worried i did damage to myself so i saw a doctor right away. The worse thing you can do is read forums like this or think about it. It only took me a few months after that to get to about 70% now after 2 years im at 100%. Actually i believe im stronger then i was before because ive been through this and come out on top. All you have to do is go back to what you were doing before like nothing ever happened. Dont think about how your feeling and what happened when you took it. For 2 weeks after it i sat in my room and read forums like this which only made it worse. Then i relised its all phycological, it was just anxiety and depression. The anxiety coming from the event and the depression comming from the anxiety. I started forcing myself to go out and socialise (which was hard) and play sport. Joined the local football team, went out every weekend and within a week i was already feeling 50% better. I know first hand how bad it can be, it was so bad for me it was like nothing was real not to mention all the other things. Now the anxiety is gone, so is the depression and im not feeling any of the things i did in those 2 weeks. Im back to 100% and actually better now ive expirienced it. What you guys have to understand is what your feeling doesnt just come from taking cocain. Cocain triggered the anxiety just like anything else traumatic could have if your prone to it. I know people who have had this from overdosing on caffiene or getting way to drunk.
I totally agree that it is cocaine induced anxiety, and i also agree that reading on forums like this will make tings much worse. It has been 6 weeks now, and it has been one hell of a ride. It took me a while to figure out it was just anxiety, and i feel much better knowing i didn't do any physical damage to myself. Every symptom mentioned in this thread are normal symptoms of anxiety. Dreamy, disorientated, head pressure, panic attacks. Symptoms of anxiety can be present even if you don't feel anxious, so stop worrying, and give it some time and you will be 100%. I consider myself 40%. 1,5 week ago i was maybe 5%.

Why would you offer advice on something that you know nothing about?? Also, FYI... It would be extremely unwise to visit your doctor and give detailed specifics about your illegal drug use. The doctor is required by law to record this information in his patient files. They will be routinely scrutinized by insurance reps, pharmaceutical, FDA/DEA. In certain instances they could be used against you for employment background checks, litigation/court subpoenas. Don't be naive about that patient/doctor confidentiality c**p! It would be much better to ask a online doctor, or post on doctor online forums.
no sh*t sherlock. cocane will give u hives and destroy yout life.
I consider myself 80% well now. I am no longer dreamy or disorientated. There is only a slightly anxious feeling remaining. And to make it clear, YES, this is anxiety and nothing more. The thought of it being something horrific made me 10 times worse. I was on an antidepressant, but not anymore.
I don't blame my self for thinking that something awful had happened to me, the symptoms were indeed horrific, and it seemed obvious to me that this was brain damage of some kind, couldn't be more wrong!
I recommend The Linden Method for coping with anxiety.

It sounds like you guys are thinking too much. By that I mean just because you tried something and that something is known as a bad thing you're convincing yourself that something is wrong with you. It's all in your head. If symptoms get worse you need to go see a psychiatrist about anxiety disorder. I use coke about once a month with alcohol and depending on how much I drink, I might feel a haze and dehydration the next day but with a nice lunch, dinner, and a couple of liters of water in you, you should be fine by next night. And stop worrying about your braincells you don't use 95% of them and not only that but coke doesn't kill braincells it just messes with the dopamine levels which should get restored after a good night of sleep. Unless you're partying every night or every other night i would be more worried about your regular diet and exercise rather than couple of night of partying. Also make sure you do this with people that know about the drug and what it supposed to look like and feel like because people do anything these days to make money.
