While it is extremely important to see the signs of cocaine overdose we also want to cover seeing the signs of the addiction in the first place so that you can avoid getting to the stage of overdose if at all possible. Cocaine is highly addictive and while recovery is slow, it is definitely possible. It is important to seek help from a drug rehabilitation center as soon as possible.
Cocaine use has physical signs that you should be aware of such as: changes in eating and sleep patterns, persistent runny nose, blood shot eyes, not caring about hygiene or appearance, and asking for money.
The psychological effects can be seen in the following behaviors: loss of interest in activities that the person usually enjoys, antisocial behaviors (doesn't want to be around family and friends), new set of friends, disregard for old friends, depression.
When an overdose has occurred the user may have one or more of the following: high blood pressure, seizures, fast pulse, quick breathing, fever, disorientation or confusion, irritability.
Keep in mind that the signs and symptoms are not all inclusive. Each user displays different behaviors. Keep yourself open to any changes in the person.
