Cocaine is an agent obtained from the leaves of the coca plant. Cocaine is a drug and has a highly stimulating effect on the body.
If you use cocaine regularly over a certain period of time, the body gets used to it. If you suddenly use less cocaine or stop using it altogether, you may experience physical and mental symptoms. For instance, you may sleep poorly or have vivid nightmares. You may feel very depressed. You might also feel tired and sluggish, or experience an increased appetite. These are known as withdrawal symptoms.
The withdrawal has also altered your state of consciousness. For example, your awareness and memory may alter. One may also no longer know who or where one is.
