of cocaine dependency works when the focus is on both the mind and
body. The physical signs of cocaine use in the body
depend on the method of using but when cocaine is used the user feels
intense pleasure and hyper-alertness. This effect fades quickly however
and more cocaine is used to avoid the burden of the depressing counter
feelings of the high. For the cocaine addict the brain becomes dependent
on the regular use of cocaine and reduces the natural amount of dopamine
produced in expectation that cocaine will be used. This dopamine controls
the pleasure center so that the addict’s mind and body requires
cocaine in order to feel good and even normal. Typical symptoms of cocaine users include restlessness and irritability. The feeling of paranoia, like people are watching and conspiring against the user and erratic behavior are also common cocaine symptoms.
