Hey everyone im a little worred that what im feeling wont go away.... i was at a house party last friday (one week ago) and i was really drunk and did some cocaine.... when a woke up and for a week i have been feeling really intense anxiety and feeling like im in a dream, my thoughts are foggy, my vision seems like everything a movie and 1D instead of 3D its hard to explain unless u experience it, i went to my doctor today and all he did was give me a perscription for lorazapam its a mild anti anxiety... i was wondering if this feeling is going to be like this forever or will i come back to normal??? i dont know what i would do if i have to live like this for the rest of my life its terrifying. and i know it was a very stupid idea to do it in the first place believe me i regret it and if i will never even drink or look at any drug again thank you for taking this seriously everyone!! Will i come back to normal??? and when?? has anyone ever experienced this??

That's weird... From what I understand, cocaine doesn't really stay in your system for long. I think a lot of it is in your head, since it's probably out of your system by now. You don't be like that forever. Just don't do it again.

I hope you told the doctor that you did cocaine so the drug he gave you will actually work properly. Suggest you stop doing illegal drugs and get your life together.

Yes, you will feel normal again. Cocaine is a highly addictive drug, and a person can become addicted to it after the first try. What you're feeling may be your body's way of saying you physically want more cocaine. This is why people who have tried it once will do it again, because the feeling left afterward is not a good one. Give yourself more time. Stay away from the cocaine. Take the anti-anxiety meds.

I suspect you got more than cocaine.Cocaine gives a short rush only continued use give various symptoms.Don't do it again.My daughter died from a cocaine overdose in 2005.It will kill you.

Takes like three weeks, just do everything normally, that means you get a reset, which is cool because you can relearn kindergarden more efficiently the second time around.

If you stop taking the prescription you will. Doctors are quick to prescribe meds because it keeps their pockets fat. If this is a 1 time thing then it will not affect you. Stop taking those meds and take one day at a time.

Drugs affect different people in different ways. I used cocaine once, and it had almost no affect at all on me. Thus, I never did it again, as well, quite frankly coffee is more stimulating. I have told people this and get varying degrees of disbelief, but it is true. My advice is to chill out like someone said maybe look into anti-anxiety meds or maybe relaxing herbs like valerian, kava or chamomile. I do know that some people become quite addicted to cocaine quite readily, so take that into consideration.
