Cocaine addiction starts out as fun. In my last post I talked about how people start cocaine for the short-term benefits such as increased strength and decreased appetite. However, they may not take into account the long term problems.
Long-term cocaine addiction effects are noticeable as tolerance builds. Since cocaine is highly addictive, it can lead to major health problems. Some of the these problems include heart disease, heart attacks, respiratory failure, strokes, seizures, and gastrointestinal disorders. Other physical symptoms include convulsions, nausea, blurred vision, chest pain, fever, muscle spasms, and coma.
As taking cocaine becomes increasingly important, behavior changes with lying, cheating, stealing, missing work and denying cocaine use, becoming obvious. While these behaviors do not stem directly from cocaine use, these cocaine effects are usually found because of the cocaine addiction lifestyle.
