I did cocaine on friday while i was drinking.. for my first time (stupid of me.. very stupid) and i wont be doing it again.. but after i did it im getting these symptoms: puking, loss of appitite, tiredess, & anxiety.. and yesterday i actually had a craving for it witch pisses me off alot more.. so do u think that even though i did cocaine once this is what the symptoms are from? i only did one line..

I've never done cocaine before, however, I have taken a Drugs and Behaviour course and all those symptoms point to withdrawal. Here are a list of the symptoms: * agitation * depression * intense craving for the drug * extreme fatigue * anxiety * angry outbursts * lack of motivation * nausea/ vomiting * shaking * irritability * muscle pain * disturbed sleep You should know that the withdrawal symptoms are the exact opposite of the drug effect (as with all drugs). Be careful, especially since you're experiencing this from just the first use. Cocaine is one of the most highly addictive drugs.

One line is all it takes sweetie. Stay clean. Please. You don't ever want to have to come off this crap for real. Trust me you don't. Yeah, your symptoms are a result of your indulgence. They don't get better. They get worse. I used to call it the after coke "b888chies " Fights, arguments over stupid crap. It ain't pretty. Stay clean. Stay clean. Please stay clean.

This is one of the worst drugs. I have never done it but I have seen people on it and its not preety. Once you do it you cant stop. It affects everything around you and yes this is what my friend went through. Please stop and think about your future and your family.

Those symptoms really should not occur after only one line of cocaine (unless it was a huge line indeed). Those symptoms can certainly result from coke, but it usually takes much more than one line to get to that point. It is more likely that your coke was cut with speed or something even less healthy. Most people (myself included) have a philosophy of "I'll try anything once. " Well, now you have. The lesson to take away is that you never really know what's in street drugs. The sellers are generally more interested in their profit than in your happy high.

It is a good idea to stay clean. There is no doubt about that. However, please do not believe anything someone claiming to have taken a "Drugs & Behavior " class or a straight-edge preacher speaking out online against drugs. The only way to know the truth about illegal activities is to take the word of those who have been there. The truth is unless you did a very large line, your body did not feel the full effects of the substance due to the alcohol. You don't mention how long it has been since your first experience, but if it is the day or even the first three days afterwards, it is more likely that you are tired and hungover, not fiending for cocaine. One line can make you curious, but it will not turn you into a cokewhore. Maybe you got drunk, got hungry and ate some bad Chinese food. Maybe the beer you drank (or liquor) sat in your stomach and disturbed the pH or injured your stomach lining. Cocaine addicts display no physical symptoms such as nausea or vomiting. I can tell you this from personal experience. However, during a craving, the person will be agitated, especially if coming off a binge. But it fades with time. Alcohol is more likely to have made you feel like you've been beaten than one normal line of cocaine. Hopefully you can separate fact from fiction...
