No one answered your question so let me. Anhedonia (innability to feel pleasure) anxiety, tiredness, soreness of the muscles, extreme hunger, depression, sore throat and nose, sleep disturbances, sensitivity to light, weakness, runny nose, sore jaw. Those are the common ones and withdrawals do not last as long as other drugs like methamphetamine or painkillers. Just hang in there. Eat, rest up, take vitamins and once the withdrawals are over there is a 50/ 50 chance you won't go back. I know i didn't.

Tell your "friend " to get to rehab as soon as possible.

Prayer!!! If she is that bad she needs to go to rehab because most likely she can't handle the withdrawals and will slip and do cocaine again. Your a really good friend. Keep on encouraging her. I wouldn't leave her alone if possible. I did cocaine for a couple of years and what I did was ask God to help me and he sure did. Been drug free, pot free and pill free for 20 years

Thats not too smart to ask a question like this--- look it up on google or something. I hope you/ she feels better. Don't use drugs!
