cyan_bul.gif (1138 bytes) COCAINE
Withdrawal from cocaine dependence is characterized by depression, anxiety, and lethargy, which begin to resolve after approximately 1 week. Less common are signs of a paranoid psychosis during withdrawal from chronic use of high doses of cocaine. In cocaine withdrawal, medication is rarely needed for the serious sequelae that are associated with alcohol, barbiturate, and opioid withdrawal.
