Smoking crack and migraines

Addiction to crack cocaine comes with its own dangers. Users describe their first experience with crack as the most profound euphoria that they have ever felt. Unfortunately, they spend the rest of their time chasing that euphoria. This is because crack starts doing damage the first time that it is used. This is partly the reason why it is so addictive.

When they start chasing that high, they forget almost everything else. They become emaciated, their teeth rot, their physical appearance becomes sallow and pocked with sores, and they will do anything to get the drug. The social effects of addiction are just as dangerous as the physical ones. Family and friends who do not use start to avoid the addict.

While the addiction is controlling an individual, it is impossible to form lasting relationships or have meaningful encounters. Because crack addicts often steal and lie to get the money for the drug, friends soon find it impossible to trust them.

The sense of betrayal that they feel may never go away. When people are addicted to a drug, they often show up to work high or in withdrawal. They cannot perform their jobs while in this state. This leads to poor work performance. When the drug starts to take control of their lives, they may be late to work or not show up at all. Usually crack addicts become unemployed shortly after they start taking the drug. An employer will not tolerate a user for very long.

I feel like half my head is either gettin hit with a baseball bat or somesone is jamming needles into my head or cracking my skull with a nut cracker. I was so scared I went to the emergency and had a brain scan done. They found nothing abnormal but put me on pain killers anyway. It is a bit better but can't seem to sleep one good night since without pain waking me up.

I haven't touched alchool or coke since. I feel like a pack of nerves though. I believe it will go away. I am happy it happened for at forty one years old after having been useing the stuff for 15 years on and off, usually on weekends, I think I would have died if this didn't happen. I hope you guys will stop useing for coke kills most people before the age of forty, something I found out from the 6 different doctors I have seen lately for my migraines.

Guest over a year ago The effects of snorting cocaine only last about 10 to 15 minutes. Smoking it is about the same. It also starts to break down in the body relatively quick, completely out of your system in 3 days.

You are NOT going to have headaches for 3 weeks after using once or one night from cocaine. Nerve damage, is also a stretch. It does irritate the nasal passages, but once again using once or one night is not going to determinate the cartilage in the nasal passages. Some been there done that advice. Cocaine is a powerful lady. Sit in on a NA meeting.
