How to stop taking cocaine

5/21/2015

Are You Ready To Face A Cocaine Habit?

Many people do not realize that cocaine is a highly addictive drug that directly targets the central nervous system. Cocaine’s addiction liability is one of the reasons that it has been scheduled as a narcotic, illegal drug in the U.S. And people who use cocaine frequently are at seriously high risk of physical and psychological dependence.

So, how do you stop using cocaine? Can you just quit on your own? What happens once you stop taking cocaine? Find out what to expect after you stop a cocaine habit and how to safely do so here. Then, we invite your questions and comments about quitting cocaine at the end.

Can I Just Stop Taking Cocaine?

It depends.

In general, it is advisable to consult a medical professional before quitting cocaine. There are many factors involved when deciding on a course for cessation, the major one being your level of dependence and/or addiction. If you are highly addicted to cocaine, the answer to this question would be, “No,” as severe cravings are very likely to occur. Heavy users find it difficult to just stop, as they battle the strong urge to use to relieve the symptoms.

If you are an occasional user, it might be more likely that you can just stop taking cocaine, however, keep in mind that you will need to modify behaviors and be aware of triggers in order to avoid future use. So how should you get off cocaine? Let’s first explore what happens in the brain and body after you quit using cocaine.

What Happens When You Stop Taking Cocaine?

If you’ve been taking cocaine for a longer period of time, chances are that your body has gotten used to its presence and will protest when you stop. Why? Cocaine works on the brain as a stimulant and causes the body to over-produce depressant effects in order to balance out. So once you stop using cocaine, these effects become noticeable. And when cocaine is no longer in the system, the central nervous system’s adapted functions only gradually normalize over time.

During the period when cocaine starts to exit the body – also known as withdrawal – you can expect to experience a set of symptoms commonly referred to a withdrawal symptoms. After a period of regular use, the body needs time to “figure out” how to regain homeostasis. So, when you stop taking cocaine… symptoms follow.

Side Effects When You Stop Taking Cocaine

Getting off cocaine is a good thing, a great decision!, but it comes with a set of adverse side effects. The common side effects that occur when you quit taking cocaine can include:

depression
disturbed sleeping
fatigue
feeling agitated
increased appetite
slowing down of activity

Even though the effects are not physically tormenting, they should not be underestimated since they can still cause cravings and provoke relapse. This is why experts strongly recommended you consider emotional-psychological support during the first week or so of quitting cocaine until the side effects wear off.

Stop Taking Cocaine Suddenly

Suddenly stopping cocaine is certainly not pleasant for your body or mental health. In fact, this method can increase the likelihood of relapse, as side effects can be more severe and intense. Instead, get your body physically and mentally ready to cope with the absence of cocaine by means of slowly tappering down your dose. However, there are some cases when quitting cocaine cold turkey may be best.

Stop Taking Cocaine Cold Turkey

Heavy users may want to consider a cold turkey cocaine detox if there are not other viable options available for a controlled taper. However, going cold turkey off cocaine can provoke the so-called “crash period,” which is manifested by accompanied by a strong craving for more cocaine. When severe cravings occur, people often reach for other abusive substances or can even consider extreme ideas like suicide. This is why medical supervision is crucial during cocaine detox.

How Do I Stop Taking Cocaine?

Consult a medical professional such as a medical doctor, psychiatrist, or an addiction therapist (licensed psychologist) before you try to quit cocaine. While it is possible to quit without professional assistance, doing it on your own isn’t recommended, as it can be dangerous due to unstable mental health issues. A doctor can determine if a treatment facility may be best for you, or not, and will advise you on how to address withdrawal symptoms and be most comfortable during the process.

How To Stop Taking Cocaine Safely

Simply, the best way to stop taking cocaine safely is to seek medical assistance. Medical and mental health professionals can help you determine what is the safest way for your individual case, as all cases are unique and depend on a number of factors such as:

age
co-occuring disorders
general health
gender
medical history
level of dependence

If you are determined to quit cocaine on your own, stay surrounded by close and positive people. And seek help though support groups, psychotherapy, and/or people who your trust.

How can I make a very close friend feel a little more comfortable or help minimize the cravings with natural remedies. I have a friend addicted to cocaine and she took the decision of staying at my place so I can help her with the withdrawals but I don't know too much about this......What can I do to help her break the addiction? Thanks in advance as she is a very humble girl when not in use. I would love to help her but I need to learn more......

I have been using cocaine for 2 1/2 years now. It started off to be an occasional party drug that eventually escalated to 3 times a week. The last 6 months have spiraled out of control I have been blowing almost every single day and if I don't it's because I am laying in my bed depressed and borderline suicidal. Anytime I go out I am constantly thinking about using the drug. I use it heavily, I am blowing lines 3 times the size of normal lines. It has affected my work and my relationships entirely. I cannot function in social environment without being triggered to want cocaine. It has been rock bottom the last 2 weeks where I would litterally go 3 days without sleeping and than maybe get 4 hours of sleep and be at it again. I made the decision and with the help of my mom to quit the drug. I am on day 1 of sobriety. Wish me luck please.

Man I totally feel you on how "It's getting stupid" comment. I have done cocaine on and off for the last 5 or 6 years. It started off using it at party's and special occasions. That was about every 5 or 6 months. Then it got all the way down to about 2 or 3 times a month. I know that it is no excuse but my best friend died in the woods with just me and him on a side by side about a year ago and then my baby brother got diagnosed with brain cancer a month after my friends death and later dies 8 months later. The reason I am saying this is because during this time I began to use about 2 or 3 times a week to now almost 5 or 6 days a week. I hate this shit so bad!! It takes over your entire life. I have been clean for three days and the cravings are so bad. I don't have money to get professional help so I am staying with my wife 100% of the time and not letting her let me leave her no matter what I say. It is definitely rough but for the next 3 weeks that is how it has to be and then for 4 months after we have strict rules to follow. That is my plan. We'll see how it goes. Pray for me and hope for the best.

I am in my forties I did many many years in prison for this stuff and when I got out in 2010 do anything until about 2 years ago. This is that day when I made the mistake of starting again I've done every day I guess I'm doing maybe between an 8-ball and core workouts everyday I don't think I can quit I've tried don't know what to do. I know I'm going to die if I don't stop. I can't go into a detox because my boss with no wife or no it would be a big mess just me so I'm trying to do it on my own and I can't function of the second day I cannot function

Mike

You're absolutely right you can't do it on your own nor can I you don't need religion nor do I but a relationship with Jesus Christ and God your heavenly father the Holy Spirit Will convict you and give you that strength you need but you truly new to trust in him the way I do I am barely a week clean myself it started off not so much as a choice and now I want to run with it but I know I will always go back without God's help it's just too hard. You can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens you Philippians 4:13 never forget that

I was a heavy user of cocaine for around 6 years, It's very difficult to quit but you can do it. Cocaine addiction has a way of taking over your thought process, when you quit your subconscious will glamourize it's use to you, telling you how fun it was, or you can just use it one more time and it will be the best night ever, etc. I call it the subconscious dope man. You have to ignore it, also avoid all triggers for me people I used with and alcohol were bad triggers. I actually couldn't drink for over a year without craving cocaine. You caj quit though it's very tough but if you stay strong and dont give it you will make it.

This right here is the nail on the head. It’s a gradual process that loosens up over time for me the first couple of days after usage I’m severely tired and drained and then after that period it’s strong cravings which effect every aspect of my life. I struggle to maintain reltionships thinking I need the stuff to follow through on plans or even communicate however this does gradually amend itself. Also during the period the cravings are so bad I would wake up dreaming about it and wanting to get in touch to see a man about a dog. The first week is the hardest but don’t slip into the idea one more time will be ok because your roped back in. Keep yourself busy and exercise like a athlete are things which help pass the time good luck my friends in your battles and win the fight

I was a cocaine addict for 10 years everyday all day. I was dependent on it. I made it religious by nature to do. One day 7 months ago. I wanted to stop and when I tried I couldn't because I didn't want anyone to know. I wanted to commit suicide and just be done with it. I was ired of being tired. I hated the chase I was fed up!!! I just asked God to save me or I couldn't live my life. Anymore just living like the way I was living. In my experience God did speak to me and called out to me in the midst of the night. It was the most surreal experience I have ever experienced. He did ask me if I was ready? He then told me to get rid of the drugs all of it and I did ask if I would get sick and he said no and I that would be OK and would take care of me from being sick ..I did listened to him to just to see.. What else did I have to lose and the fact of the matter even being a mean aggravated person and hateful as well but did have a mainstreamed times of having a good heart in hand but drugs played a strong hold on my life but not my career Fyi I was a successful Chef but I took the leap of Faith on the addiction to stop. Long to behold It worked the next day I did throw all the cocaine out the window driving in the highway on my way to work and from that day I have never touched nor have had a sickness or crash from it.I don't even have the need or taste or crave It Was his Miracle and GRACE That he always and never stopped Loving me. :) But by that means in the second week i stopped smoking weed and cigarettes that i been a smoker for 15 years with no withdrawals as well. God played the essential strong role in my life a gifted inspiration of God as playing the greatest role of saving a sinner as long as you ask him to save you with all honestly and sincerity. Did I know God before this incident? I did not!!!! but the day that I did call him he does save and all biblical truths about him are real. So by saying this I devote my life to the teachings of God through his son Jesus and understanding the way of living in this cruel world we live in. I teach and study and lay my life to him as he has for me and teach others the same way, as I read and teach what I am taught so they can escape from their own idolatry and sin from the deception of the devil. Nothing is impossible for God not a drug that the devil gives you. God is almighty. He is gracious and mercierful. Cold turkey yes!!!! I have experienced it through him not on my own. With no sickness or any crash or relapse. But be honest in your heart that you want quit and he will extend his spirit to you. Praise the Lord you GOD #TRUETESTIMONY#

Fucking bullshit! You my friend who has never even tried coke is a liar. If you did coke as you claim and I quote, " all-day everyday for 10 years" and suddenly stopped one day and you prayed so you were fine. Lol. You're a joke and so is you bullshit god! I would hope you relapse but you never had a problem. Come on Buffalo Valley clearly this ridiculous. Help people or don't . Don't make up bullshit stories about a 10 year cocaine addict (who if he was would have stated how he/she partakes prior to walking across water and suddenly being cured. Smoke, slam, snort, etc. I am here to help a family member who really needs help. Not blow smoke up my cousins ass and share a story that if he reads a bible and really wishes for it he will be cured. I am sure whoever reads this response will have wasted just as much time and eneegy as I did with my life reading your blog. Take down your shit from 2016. Especially, religious medical miracles. If not make sure to share my terminally ill grandfather post stroke decided to pray and was cured. Except he wasn't and neither were either of my wife's grandfather's who sadly suffered the same passing. Don't simplify the complex affect this has on a person mentally, physically, psycholigically and socially just to start by allowing a statement that all you have to do is pray to God. Which god gives the cure? Christian, Hebrew or a Muslim god. Would love to know as my cousin will pray to that specific religious god tomorrow and we can field test it. Thank you for the platform but at least read it and share valuable, proven, pragmatic and effective life saving drug addiction methodologies.

Hello,
I found this thread after googling for 'tricks' to stop coke. I'm a relatively successful professional with lots of education and I'm a reference in my field of expertise.

However, I have this sickness called addiction. Drugs have been part of my life since i'm 15. I'm 38 now. I used cocaine for the 1st time at 17. Been using since then but I've been able to control my consumption and stay functional in society until 2 years ago.

I've lost 'control' and been snorting everyday for 2 years. I snorted 30 minutes ago. I have tried many times to stop, but my good intentions never last more than a couple hours.I'm starting to develop paranoia and I feel like shit every morning. I feel guilty and weak. This thing is stronger than anything. I'm on the edge of a mental collapse that will destroy me.

However, I just read al the posts here and feel a little better that i'm not alone. Thank you everybody for being honest. You gave me a little bit of courage and I took an appointment with a doctor and will ask help.

Hi David- just wanted to know how the journey on usage has been...

Donna

9/6/2017 11:49:22 pm

I've been using consistently for about 6 months now. I'm about a 1/2g-1g/day user. I need to quit now. I'm thinking about tapering my dose. My family, friends, and coworkers haven't a clue I use, save a few friends. I so desperately want out of the cycle, but have extreme concerns over the withdrawals. If I taper down my use, with this last gram, assuming I can control myself, I'm hoping I'll be fine. I can go 16 hours in a day without using, so I know that tapering should be sufficient enough to ease withdrawal symptoms. Also, I've read studies that suggest caffeine can help ease withdrawal symptoms. Please send me positive vibes. Thank you
Dee

Hi Donna
I'm a bit different to you I might not use for a week or to but when I do all hell breaks loose! I can be on it for 3 day and not eat or sleep the whole time! And it can cost £1000 I have a friend like you he'll make a gram last all day I'll do I in one fat line I'm not sure what it worse we're both talking a lot though the week but wait would say is if you wanna stop really wanna the don't tapper your daily amount isn't enough to cause you harm you will feel shitty and tired but when your feeling rough treat it as a bad day you don't wanna have to live through again because if you relapse all the days you battled through will be gone n you'll be starting again!! once you get a few days clean you can aim for a week and you want 2 weeks before you know it you'll love the time you got clean more than coke and it will be something you'll want to protect!! Anyway I'm going to my first cocaine anonymous meet tomorrow I'm I'm giving up everything drugs alcohol the lot so wish me luck cos I think this could be life or death for me . Take care sorry if I rambled on
Ps DONT USE CAFFEINE THAT Will get you too x

Hi I've got a massive problem I lay in bed snorting in the dark cos once I start I can't stop I stop for a while then I think I'll just have a 1/2 before you know it I'm doing 1/2 oz in 3 days my misses hates me , my daughter misses me cos I'm not there and I can spend £1000 over a weekend I have to work twice as hard to cover the expense.
My misses has always moaned about me drinking too much , I don't go out out more like have 2-3 after work every day . The thing is I always thought my drug problem was nothing to do with my drinking because I don't have a drink problem in fact I hate getting drunk... but I was wrong.. every massive cocaine binge started with a quick pint !!!! The only way out of this is to completely give up them both ! And completely meaning no odd glass of wine with dinner nothing! I'm gonna go to a ca meeting tomorrow and hopefully start to rebuild my life sorry I can't give you much advice about giving up but to be honest I haven't a clue all I know is that if it doesn't work this time I'll loose everything n probably be dead in 2 years my chest is hurting right now!!! I'm not sure why I wrote this all I know is I'm at the bottom and terrified I'll fail on my last chance good luck to you all I hope you succeed staying clean

My life was amazing and Drugs destroyed me and I hate it. I cant stand mysely. This isn't me and God has spoke to me Im just so messed up over Places I went and That's where it all started when I first came out. I never touched drugs ever b4. I was in the business and it was very lucerative and and I was loving life helping people in good ways and that's what I loved most. But the woman and associates it brought was the worst. But I have to be honest I did meet some older Gentleman who where Italian and tought me allot about myself and let me be me. They never spoke about doing bad ever. always about family and business like real estate and and jobs they could start themselves and hussle that legit. THey treated me like I loved them they where always reminding me of my Moms family who I love with all my heart. but so many that came with the game where cool but not real friends and no respect or trust cuz they would do u wrong any time. My family brothers and sister mom and dad nieces and my bros family and and cusines and ants and uncles friends. Ilove them with everything I just got depressed and I was ontop of the world anything I could have. But now I see what it really does.. I cant write anymore.. God bless you all

I'm 64 and have been shooting cocaine for 29 years. Not everday but in the beginning it was about once a week. But I inherited a lot of money about 3 yrs ago so I just started using all the time. I hate it. I have 8 months to go until I can get Medicare. I'm so sick and tired of this but I can't afford decent treatment . please don't tell me to consult a doctor. Their eyes just glazr over when I say the word "drugs". I'm scared and feel bad most of the time. Please give me some suggestions of what I can do to detox on my own. I can then go NA or CA for support.

I’ve been using since I was 15. I am now 43, married with a beautiful wife, 2 year old daughter and another on the way. I went to rehab after rehab and stopped for a long time. I recently got back into it and I can’t go a day without it. I do blow at work. Most of my co-workers do as well. The other day, I threw out an 8 ball and told myself no more. Soon as I was driving to work a couple of days later, blow was the only thing on my mind. I have a good job that pays over $300k a year and I’m afraid I might lose it all. It’s happened before. I pray and pray and ask Jesus to take this away from me but I’m hooked. My wife is starting to suspect. The last 7 months, I’ve been going hardcore with no end in sight. I also pop norcos, Xanax, and somas. I’m afraid I may not wake up one day.
My life has always been about replacing one addiction for another. I can’t continue living this way. I need help.

This a response for Sam: My former best friend is exactly like you. His name is Pete and he what you are making per year with two sons.He has been an alcoholic & drug addict for over 30yrs. He uses at work as well as his co-workers. I helped him become clean & sober this year. But it was short lived. He ended our friendship to return back to his old habits. Like most addicts, they assume revolves around them. When it doesn't. You are going to have to come clean about your double life. Professional businesses that exceed the type of income you make all have programs in secret from their bosses for counseling. Start there and be open to what is recommended.

Hi,
Where do I start.
I am addicted to crack Cocaine.
Been addicted for a long time and managed to get away with it however, last two and a half years the addition spiralled out of control. Lost my job and my family.
Familiar story. BUT!
You can beat it.
Listen to me.
I used to the max. Huge amounts. And it turned me into a different person.
I wanted to give up for years. Just thought it impossible. I believed the things I read in regards to how difficult and almost impossible it is to quit. And gave up trying before I really tried.
But you can quit. Don’t accept it.
I’m now 5 weeks into my detox.
I will never touch it again.
You have to believe in yourself.
Don’t accept what you read.
Stay positive.
One day at a time. Step by step. You must remain focused on your values, whatever they may be.
Each day without is an achievement. It gets easier as the days pass. The drug is an evil demon. I does not want to let go. It knows you will become stronger as each day passes. So the first three weeks are difficult. And the demon will target you at your low point and is strongest during this initial period. Fight it, but don’t focus on it all the time. Put your attention on things that are positive in your life. This is your “Rocky Balboa” moment in your life. Wake up and start the fight. Don’t let the bastard win.
Each day is an achievement. Think how precious that day without using is to you. Do not let it go without a fight.
This is a battle you can win.

You are an absolute RETARD (I hate that word so much). You are a moron. You think that Dr. Ogunsnya saved your marriage. I don't believe you even have a husband but if you do I understand why he left for 3 weeks. It should have been for life. People here need help not some bullshit Dr. How did he make your husband come home and what did you do? Those are the things you ahould share. Not some vague story about him leaving you and coming back and you attribute it to a random doctor. PS - I am Dr. Michael and you are dillusional. My reccommendation is you should jump off a bridge or he will leave you again. Anal just won't do it this time. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Dr. Ogunsnya called me and told me I must write you.

I have been a heavy user (0.5 -2G/day) for the last 2 years. I paid for this doing 2 jobs, one a full time day job in an office, the other working in the entertainment industry on a night. At first I was just using to cope with the hours I was working (I think my longest week I worked over 120 hours, but it was often over 100/week...)
When COVID hit the night time work dried up overnight but I have continued using at home.
I have tried to stop, ir at least cut down before and I managed a week. That was over a year ago. When I try to stop I become so fatigued I can hardly keep my eyes open but when I try to sleep, my entire body aches, I can't eat, or I don't feel full, all I can think about is how I can get some more. (Nevermind the constipation...)
I grew up in an environment of, you always show a good face, the work you are doing always gets done (I have been hired explicitly for this before - to make things happen, however I have to do it) but I can see now, with everything closed down that I have a problem, that I wasn't using the drug, it was using me.
I told myself that (I know it sounds stupid) I would quit and wouldn't do it anymore in the new year.
My normal dealer wasn't answering last night so I used another contact for new year's. I did all his by 11pm... I looked at my bank, calculating how much I still have to pay out and even though I couldn't afford it, rang my dealer again. There was no answer again.
I may fail but I am trying to get my head to see this as not only a sign, but also a chance. A chance to change the way my brain is thinks, the fact it isn't available, I just have to deal with it and no amount of wanting changes that fact...
I hope I can shake this, I used to be an alcoholic and managed to beat that, the same with smoking for a couple of years, this is a whole different beast thought.
My two best friends (who live in different parts of the country) know I do it, just not to the extent. Other than the people I used to do it with, no one knows. I can't go get help because then my work and family will find out. If they do then I will loose everything and probably end up on the street, where I would probably pick up worse habits, so this is something I have to beat by myself (while still working and socialising as if nothing is wrong...)

Trying to hide it while recovering was why I failed the first couple times. People would say I wasn't myself and I just felt so sick for the first week or two.that I needed it to feel partial human and get anything done at work. so I'd buy it and say just a bit to feel better. Before you know it the whole G is gone and you need more. Once I told my wife and friends they actually weened me off it, when they saw the bad sickness hit, they would give me just a line to relieve the pain. Also had to take the first week off work. But after if I'd go to buy it I started to feel guilt now everyone knows. To the point I didn't even enjoy the high anymore. Even just tell your closest friend to make you feel accountable. It's not an impossible fight but will feel like it. So use all the help you can get and commit to the fight. Goodluck. It sucks but When you break the demons grasp and take control it feels good.
And it takes time respect the process. I started Nov 2019 and just last month starting being my old energetic self.
You will get moody, fat and more headaches the first bit. I replaced coke with food which made me 50lbs heavier which I just started fight now that me energy is finally back.

2-3 weeks clean you think your clear and cravings hits hard again
Message me anytime.
Goodluck, stay strong.

The hardest battle and strongest demon iv fought so far was crawling away from this addition. And I say crawling because it beats you down so bad, you will need every bit of you to get over it. You want to quit but the demon controls your decisions at that point.
Help is the hardest thing to ask for. You feel shame, judgement and defeated. But I would not have made it if weren't for friends and family knowing and help every step of the way. Even if your in the dumps again having someone say how are you doing (obviously you say 'good') gives you strength and a drive to get back to you original self. Who is probably a complete stranger at this point.
Sometimes it's easier to talk with a stranger. so if anyone actually wants out, message me and I'll shed some light on your situation.
Asking for help is the first and hardest step. Your stronger for asking. It's not a sign of weakness. That's the demon talking

I thought it was interesting when you explained that it is a good idea to work with a therapist when trying to quit drug addiction. I would imagine that an addiction recovery center that utilizes animals would be a good place to work on something like this. This would provide a peaceful environment that would allow someone to focus on fixing their problems.
