The length of cocaine withdrawal varies from person to person and on the amount and frequency of use. As heroin leaves the brain and body, users experience withdrawal symptoms, which are often described as feeling like a severe case of flu. Physical addiction to alcohol occurs in consistently heavy drinkers. Since their bodies have adapted to the presence of alcohol, they suffer alcohol addiction withdrawal symptoms if they suddenly stop drinking. Demerol addiction withdrawal symptoms usually last 7 to 10 days. Individuals who are unaware they have a Demerol addiction may respond to the pain of withdrawal by taking another dose of Demerol. | |

Cocaine
Withdrawal 
Cocaine addiction
can occur very quickly and be very difficult to break. Animal studies have shown
that animals will work very hard (press a bar over 10,000 times) for a single
injection of cocaine, choose cocaine over food and water, and take cocaine even
when this behavior is punished. Animals must have their access to cocaine limited
in order not to take toxic or even lethal doses. People addicted to cocaine
behave similarly. They will go to great lengths to get cocaine and continue
to take it even when it hurts their school or job performance and their relationships
with loved ones.
Regular use of cocaine can lead to strong psychological dependence (addiction). Those who abruptly stop their cocaine use can experience cocaine Withdrawal symptoms as they readjust to functioning without the drug. The length of cocaine Withdrawal varies from person to person and on the amount and frequency of use.
Cocaine withdrawal symptoms include but are not limited to:
- agitation
- depression
- intense craving for the drug
- extreme fatigue
- anxiety
- angry outbursts
- lack of motivation
- nausea/vomiting
- shaking
- irritability
- muscle pain
- disturbed sleep
