Question

How long does the 'temporary depression' last when stopping cocaine after years of use?

Answer 1

I've been clean for about 4 years now.  I was strung-out for almost 5.  I wouldn't say that I'm still depressed... but I do feel like I'm just going through the motions of life.

I really miss the stuff.

I can't go back, though.  It got bad in the end.  I tried doing a little a couple years ago and it really messed me up.  Maybe it's because I smoked a teener straight to the head and kept hitting it every 10 minutes until the ball was gone.  I don't know.  All I know is that I started hearing the voices and seeing people around corners and behind trees right away.  

It really sucked.

I still miss it, though.

I miss the taste.

I really, really, miss the cloud.

I miss that feeling when you can feel your hair growing.

h**l, I even miss the roller-coaster ride when you're coming down.

But I sure as heck don't miss the paranoia and the confusion.

I miss being skinny, too.

What's with these other answers?  I bet none of them has ever tweaked.

Answer 3

I think if you're talking about years of use then really you should be consulting a doctor about this and not Yahoo Answers. If you're not willing to consult your local GP then go and visit a medical forum or search via Google for a relevant drugs forum.

Answer 4

Depends on the individual

A lot of people use cocaine because they are depressed, if thats the case with you then never

Your going to need to find another way to deal with your depression that doesnt involve cocaine
