Crack Cocaine withdrawal symptoms

Cocaine is a highly addictive drug, and crack cocaine is substantially more addicting, as the substance is far more potent and is smoked. The User quickly develops a tolerance to crack cocaine, needing more of the drug to achieve the desired effects. Because the high from crack cocaine is so short-lived, users usually smoke it repeatedly in order to sustain the high. This can lead to an even faster onset of dependence. Also, because crack cocaine works on the brain's system of reward and punishment, withdrawal symptoms occur when the drug's effects wear off. These symptoms can include

  • depression
  • irritability
  • extreme fatigue
  • anxiety
  • an intense craving for the drug
  • sometimes even psychosis

Users will often keep using crack cocaine simply to avoid the negative effects of withdrawal.
