Cocaine is the second most widely used illegal drug worldwide, second only to cannabis. It owes its popularity to the intense feeling of wellbeing it produces – a feeling which is highly addictive.
从使用的第一次可卡因，药物将影响用户的行为。在这里，我们有可卡因的一些常见行为副作用。
Behavioral Signs of Cocaine Use
Euphoria
Extreme joy is a common symptom of cocaine use which people miss. The level of happiness shown may seem natural, but it will often develop for no apparent reason. Ask the individual why they’re happy, and the chances are they won’t have an answer.
Hyperactivity
在这段时间的快乐期间，使用可卡因的人也将在他们所做的一切中快速移动。他们坐下来或坐着困难，并将令人不安。此外，它们不仅会在他们的移动和反应方面都会过度活跃，而且还在他们的言论中。他们可能是非常健谈的，有些人甚至会改变语音。更深层次的人倾向于经历这一比较高声音声音的人。
Mood Swings
随着药物磨损，这些幸福中的潮流往往是情绪上的倾斜。对于一些人来说，这将表现为疲劳或悲伤，但其他人将表现出烦躁和敌意。他们可能能够为他们感受到的情绪来找到责备的东西，但实际的来源是对可卡因的UPS和倒闭的身体反应。
Changes in Sleeping and Eating Patterns
Someone using cocaine will have a suppressed appetite and will go through cycles of insomnia and oversleeping. They usually lose weight without trying and may develop dark circles around their eyes.
Behavioral Signs of Cocaine Abuse
Frequent Disappearances
As the high from cocaine only lasts for a short period, someone who’s abusing cocaine will want another hit almost immediately. This will happen time and again. To refuel, they will retreat to a bathroom or other secluded location for a few minutes.
情绪不稳定
无法解释的情绪波动，侵略，抑郁，自杀倾向，频繁的愤怒爆发是可卡因滥用的常见副作用。可卡因施用者的神经和情绪越来越不稳定，它们使用可卡因和他们使用的可卡因越长。可卡因中毒破坏了大脑和中枢神经系统之间的通信，并且有问题的神经故障的积累变得像电气系统中的错误布线，这样你就永远不会知道该人失去控制。
Depression
慢性可卡因滥用将消耗大脑中的多巴胺，同时随着时间的推移，使大脑产生更少的多巴胺。这导致个人难以遇到任何乐趣，除非他们使用可卡因。随着这种依赖的持续，抑郁症成为一个共同的经历，特别是当与可卡因滥用者经常受到痛苦的额外内疚感和羞耻感。这些感受也倾向于使用更多可卡因的“触发器”，并且与抑郁症相结合时，甚至可能导致自杀思想和行动。
Anxiety and Nervousness
焦虑和紧张是可卡因滥用最常见的副作用之一。可卡因在人工“战斗或飞行”反应中覆盖了中枢神经系统。在使用早期，这种刺激可能会导致能量和无敌感觉令人愉悦的激增，但随着个人对可卡因的欣快效果的宽容产生宽容，他们将开始体验作为紧张，焦虑，甚至恐慌的刺激。
Paranoia
可卡因滥用表明心理功能受损的迹象经常采取偏执狂和怀疑的形式。这些效果与“战斗或飞行”的反应联系起来，最终会扭曲一个人的推理能力。当一个人感到如此身体上的固有危险时，他们自然扫描了周围环境，这使得它们越来越偏执。
认知变化
对于可卡因滥用者来说，负面认知变革是不可避免的。该人可能开始遭受记忆力损失，难以关注和做出决策，并越来越无法逻辑地思考。这将导致学校或工作中的问题，以及他们与亲人互动的能力。
A Decline in Personal Hygiene
虽然滥用可卡因的人失去了重量并呈现出良好健康的其他迹象，但它们的外表也会因被忽视的个人美容和卫生而受到影响。
Impulse Control
As the brain grows more dependent on cocaine’s effects, drug cravings start to alter the individual’s self-control. They may lose their inhibitions and engage in dangerous activities such as unprotected sex or driving under the influence. They may even commit crimes to get money or drugs, or merely because they were unable to recognize and check a bad impulse.
侵略
Over time, the energy surges associated with cocaine “highs” start to affect a person’s overall personality, as do the changes to their neurotransmitter system. Unusually hostile and aggressive behavior displays appear more and more often the longer a person continues to use.
Violence
Ongoing norepinephrine and serotonin chemical imbalances in the brain can have drastic effects on a person’s emotional health. Closely tied to impulse control problems and increased paranoia and aggression, violent displays of behavior are often a prime indicator of developing psychiatric disorders.
精神病症状
Psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia develop in 68 to 84 percent of cocaine addicts. These cocaine abuse signs can last anywhere from a few hours to days or weeks at a time. Psychotic symptoms indicate a significant decline in cognitive function has taken place. Some users will see or hear things that aren’t there, engage in obsessive/compulsive behaviors, or suffer tactile hallucinations, such as the sensation of bugs crawling on or under the skin. Picking at the skin, face, or obsessive hair plucking hair is another sign of cocaine abuse that can visibly damage the person’s appearance. Furthermore, after a person has experienced a psychotic episode due to chronic, high doses of cocaine, they are made vulnerable to experiencing another, more severe psychotic episode after taking a much smaller dose of cocaine.
可卡因成瘾的行为迹象
Evidence of Cocaine
虽然药物成瘾往往伴随着secretive behavior, once someone is addicted to cocaine, they may accidentally become careless about concealing the evidence of their drug use, and you may notice signs of it in their home. Cocaine is usually stored and delivered in small plastic baggies with zipper closures. Depending on how they are administering the drug there will be some equipment being used. Some of the items to look for are:
- Mirrors
- 剃刀片
- 玻璃管
- Plastic straws or rolled up dollar bills
- Miniscule spoons
Isolation from Family or Loved Ones
As cocaine addiction takes over an individual’s life, the people that they once made a priority start to take second place to the addiction. The addict will drift away emotionally andphysically，特别是如果亲人开始注意到吸毒成瘾的迹象。可卡因瘾君子将成为秘密，往往撒谎，以隐藏他们的吸毒，以避免与那些阻止它的亲人的对抗问题。他们也可能在狂欢之后击中的低点期间孤立自己withdrawals. Depression, loss of interest, guilt, and excessive stress can also be reasons that a person addicted to cocaine ignores the people they love.
Changes in Associations
While a person addicted to cocaine is isolating themselves from family and friends, they will also be developing new relationships outside of their normal social circle. They do this not only to enjoy social activities and engagement with other people who use cocaine but also to maintain access to drug suppliers and dealers.
Lack of Interest in Activities
Cocaine addiction can consume all facets of a person’s life. For this reason, they may begin to eliminate the activities and hobbies they previously enjoyed. They may do this because they now want nothing more than to get high, but they may also drop these activities due to declining health, increased depression and anxiety, or problems with cognitive function.
Borrowing or Stealing Money
可卡因是一种非常昂贵的药物，可能导致上瘾者发展主要的财务困难。曾经负责金钱的人可能会开始无法支付账单或向家属提供必要的食物或衣服。对于销售或典当他们的财产或其亲人的财产来说，这是一个很常见的是，以便继续喂养成瘾的钱。
Engaging in Risky Behavior
From violence to unprotected sex, a person who is addicted to cocaine may make decisions that could lead them towards many types of trouble. The use of cocaine, in particular, can lead to uncontrolled and dangerous actions stemming from cognitive decline, impulsivity problems, and aggression and paranoia. Financial problems combined with a tendency towards risk-taking can easily result in criminal behavior and trouble with the law. Individuals may get arrested, fired, or expelled, and yet continue to use cocaine.
When an individual persists in drug-seeking and using behavior in the face of negative consequences resulting from cocaine use, they are suffering from a serious addiction, and need intensive professional help to recover.Speak to an expert todayto learn how to quit cocaine abuse today.
