Abstinencia de la cocaína - Symptom

Síntomas:

Entre los síntomas primarios se encuentran:

  • Agitación y conducta inquieta
  • Desánimo
  • Fatiga
  • Malestar generalizado
  • Aumento del apetito
  • Sueños demasiado intensos y desagradables
  • Disminución de la actividad

El deseo vehemente y la depresión pueden durar meses luego de abandonar el consumo intenso (en especial a diario) por un período prolongado. En algunas personas, los síntomas de la abstinencia también pueden asociarse con ideas suicidas.

Durante la abstinencia, pueden presentarse deseos poderosos e intensos de consumir cocaína. Sin embargo, la "borrachera" asociada con el consumo progresivo se torna menos y menos placentera y puede ocasionar una experiencia de temor y paranoia más que de gozo. De la misma manera, los deseos pueden seguir siendo intensos.

Pruebas y exámenes:

El examen físico y los antecedentes de consumo de cocaína son suficientes para diagnosticar esta afección.

Se puede llevar a cabo un examen toxicológico para ver si se puede haber consumido otras drogas.
