I don't know whats going on with me, but
I'm showing every symptom of a withdrawal
from cocaine.
Now, I didn't believe it was possible to
have withdrawals without being an addict.
I rarely use coke. I used to use it a lot
in my past when I had just turned 16 and
everything, but eventually got off of it.
I have used it last November once(one
line) and once last weekend(a couple of
lines) and once the weekend before(one
line). I don't do it much. I can easily
control things.
Throughout the past 3 weeks or so, I've
been falling into a depression. This is
very rare for me. I'm always a bubbly
happy person.
Within these past two weeks of using it,
I've had a lot of pain in my nose and
throat (which the reason is obvious), so I
decided to stop (which has always been
easy.)
Within the past week, everything has
gotten worse. I find myself isolated a
lot(thought I'm not meaning to),
depressed, lonely, anxious, I rarely have
cravings, but in this past week I have had
extreme cravings to use a needle to shoot
it up (I usually only snort it), I've
found myself feeling suicidal when I'm
alone, I have a lot of discomfort in my
stomach, I believe I am developing an
eating disorder...
Nothing has changed in this past week with
my use except for me telling myself that
I'm going to stop. I don't usually use it
during the week and I'm continueing not to
use it during the week.
I don't exactly know what is going on, but
it seems like a withdrawal. Is that
possible? Or is it just depression just
creeping up on me and I'm trying to cope
with using more drugs?

This may not have anything to do with
withdrawl. You just may be suffering from
plain ole depression. Then again you still
indeed may be going through withdrawl. the
symtoms sure sound like it. Could be a
mixture of a little of both. Going from
happy (from drugs) to going clean is a big
transition and it could easily create a
depressive state. You should now try to
dicontinue use altogether. Heck you over
half way there already.
Good Luck

Thank you.
I was figuring it was plain old depression
since I was diagnosed 4 years ago. I
haven't taken my meds for it in about 2
and a half years, though because I was
always so happy and I loved life.
