Brief Answer:
These are known side effects of cocaine

Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxxxxx,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. Cocaine causes dry mouth and inability to swallow as a side effect. This drug is known to cause these effects after taking it.

2. The ability to experience dry mouth, paranoia, panic attacks and inability to swallow depends on the dose and purity of the cocaine.

3. It is probable that the cocaine is more potent or the dose you are taking is higher than before.

Please note that cocaine use is a health hazard and not recommended.

Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
