Hello,

Once a patients stop Cocaine, he or she may experience symptoms like anxiety, dysphoria, irritability, fatigue, sleepiness etc. With mild to moderate use, these withdrawal symptoms end within 18-20 hours while in a heavy user, these symptoms can last up to a week. After this, the symptom usually subside and by the end of 4 weeks body is back to normal state in most cases.

In case, you are not able to tolerate these symptoms, you should consult a physician.

Just maintain a healthy diet, do regular exercise and stay away from Cocaine.

I hope this helps,

Kind regards

Vikas
