Answer by Not Lenny! (Abby)
Cocaine prompts the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter responsible for pleasure and movement, and inhibits the reabsorption of it, overstimulating the brain. Users report feelings of euphoria, hyper-stimulation, confidence, and alertness. Cocaine also reduces the user’s appetite and makes her talkative. Cocaine’s pleasurable effects begin to wear off quickly. Once they do, withdrawal symptoms can include irritability, anxiety, restlessness, physical pain, insomnia, depression, paranoia, or aggression as the drug’s effects wear off.
