Well, I have never done cocaine, but I do have a friend that was really into it, she would do tons of it and be literally sick for almost a week later. I never really understood what she enjoyed about it, while she was "high " she was only paranoid and really weird, she was not having a good time, or if she was, you couldn't tell it from the outside. She would speak in a whisper and stay closed up in her room until the next morning. Then she would come out looking like a zombie and acting like she had a terrible hangover. I would suggest to drink lots of water, eat some healthy foods, try to rest and regain my strength, don't do any more drugs or alcohol. If, in a few more days, you do not feel any better you should see a doctor. It is not uncommon for first time users of these kind of drugs to experience adverse and even long term side effects. Don't do it again! And, BTW, my friend always did return to normal, it just took a couple of days for the symptoms to go away. I finally got tired of it and moved out (we were roommates). After she hit rock bottom, she realized I was right and doesn't do it anymore. She doesn't miss the effects of it either.
