Risks of A Cocaine Binge

What is A Cocaine Binge

Cocaine is a highly addictive stimulant drug that increases the potential for high substance abuse within the drug abusers. Cocaine comes in a white powder that is snorted or can be heated up to inject or smoke as crack cocaine. The high that cocaine produces is a short term intense euphoric feeling that will fade quickly. Due to the short term effects of this substance, many will continuously binge use cocaine to maintain their high. Similar to any drug binge, a cocaine binge is classified as taking a drug in large quantities over a short period of time. Binging cocaine, similar to other drugs, has an increased risk factor for individuals engaging in substance abuse that can have significant impacts on your physical, emotional, and mental health and wellbeing. 

Risks of Going on a Cocaine Binge

Cocaine users are at a high risk for engaging in binge substance abuse due to the highly addictive and fleeting high that cocaine users will experience. The more you engage in cocaine abuse, the higher your chances of developing severe side effects of cocaine that can have long term damage to your overall health and wellbeing. 

Some risks that are associated with cocaine abuse and binge using cocaine are: 

  • Poor sleep patterns including insomnia
  • Loss of appetite
  • Paranoid or paranoid delusions 
  • Damage to your nose, septum, and soft tissue that can change the structure of your nose and cause loss of smell
  • Increased risk of stroke 
  • Risk of heart attack or heart failure 
  • Kidney damage 
  • Liver damage 
  • Chest pain 
  • Increased risk of brain damage including aneurysms, risk of stroke, or seizures 
  • Long term memory impairment 
  • Increased risk of suicidal ideations or self harm 
  • Onset of anxiety or panic attacks 
  • Digestive complications including tears or ulcers in the stomach or intestines
