does cocaine lead to depression?

just a simple question...i dont do coke no more i was just wondering for other reasons

Sometimes after I've done a lot it effects me for like a day maybe, but nothing significant.

*EDIT - And that's probably just because I haven't slept and am irritable / tired anyways.

well i dont mean like the next few days i mean in general...lets say being a cokehead...i remember when i was on it and did alot and then quit i was very depressed for a while...like a long while....but does that happen to everyone?

Probably not *every* user but coke alters your neurochemistry, basically your body stops putting out as much dopamine if your a habitual user... so, you become chemically depressed when not on it. The effects can take a while to reverse themselves.

That being said.. its fun ^^

Uh, I think those effects are permanent.

Well I only do it sparingly so I guess my commentary is pointless

I don't think so, in fact I'm quite positive they aren't. Otherwise we would be seeing quite a few suicidal movie stars etc etc. While the CNS damage that coke does and cardiovascular damage is more or less permanent your body slowly rebuilds dopamine levels to their previous state (although they may never be completely normal again). And there is always anti-depressants that will resolve the problem =) The serotonin system is much more fragile and it too slowly regains it's former girth after heavy MDMA (ecstasy) use (although it may never reach it's former output level).

I suggest you do some investigation yourself if you really want to find out all the bad shit coke does to you, as it's been awhile since I have... Above information is accurate to the best of my current knowledge (i.e. possibly not at all)

only if you become addicted

and addiction to stimulants can come on first use

beware

bullshit

it's damaging whether your addicted to the drug or not andd.. it's possible to become 'addicted' to anything on first use. addiction is one of the worst vices around because people use it ambiguously to describe two conditions. One being psychological addiction, and the other being physical. The difference between them is enormous. A lot of people are psychologically addicted to every day stuff, physical addiction is almost exclusive to drugs (and entails hard use). I.E. isn't going to happen your first time.

yeah

if you have a tendancy for addiction or an addiction to coke or whatever drug, its very likely that you area already depressed.
an addiction to coke is just gonna make that depression worse.

Ive never done it, but almost killed someone who got a friend of mine addicted. Ahh, the memories of that little fuck with his hippy ass beard. MM! I loves me a drug dealer any day.

Anyways, my friend while on it almost lost her job, lost all of her good friends, was depressed, addicted, irritable, shitty, spending about 1000 a week on coke parties, gone most of the time...fucked up her life big time.

Then we all got together and straightened her da fuck out.

after we had a lil "chat" with her fuckhead drug dealer friend who kept inviting her places.
