Cocaine produces a wide range of physiological effects in humans, including the stimulation of a plethora of emotional experiences. When people take cocaine, they become euphoric, highly active (locomotion, tremors, and tics), and more talkative than normal. They experience feelings of extreme power and alertness. This initial high is followed by bouts of severe anxiety, paranoia, and depression, which often lead to addiction. Those who become addicted to the drug often turn the habit into an obsession, so that they devote more, and more of their time and money to acquiring and using the drug.
Withdrawal from cocaine can cause a drastic fall in the level of extracellular dopamine in the nucleus accumbens (Rosetti 1992). This decrease is thought to be caused by an increased secretion of dynorphin, one of the endogenous opioids.
