During withdrawal, the former user will often experience many uncomfortable symptoms, such as depression, paranoia, fatigue, anxiety, mood swings, restlessness, agitation, or vivid, unpleasant dreams. The physical and psychological symptoms of withdrawal will vary depending on many individual factors, such as the user’s tolerance, metabolism, length of addiction, severity of addiction, and the presence of underlying mental health conditions or other addictions. During the first 72 hours of withdrawal, users may experience symptoms such as paranoia and body aches. There have also been reports of hallucinations during this period, though they are rare. It is not uncommon for anxiety, insomnia, severe fatigue, irritability, and cravings to set in during the first 24 hours. After this initial period, hallucinations and paranoia generally subside.
Week 1 During the first full week of withdrawal, other symptoms often set in, including irritability, extreme fatigue, trouble sleeping and a general lack of motivation.
Week 2 During week two, cravings for the drug become more intense and depression often sets in. The brain is still reacting to the withdrawal process, and typically will not produce enough dopamine for strong positive emotions. Anxiety may return during this period.
Weeks 3-4 During weeks three and four, the body’s chemistry is still changing and mood changes are fairly frequent. Though the physical craving for crack has subsided by this time, the psychological cravings generally remain through the first month. Feelings of anxiety or depression may remain as well. Crack addiction can be treated–the key is that the addict must be given a place in family and social structures where they may never have been before. Habilitation more than rehabilitation. Drugs that may be used during crack detox and what they treat include:
Clonidine – High blood pressure and anxiety reduction
Gabapentin – Seizures, restless leg syndrome, anxiety, and insomnia
Propranolol – Anxiety
Trazodone – Sleep
Seroquel – Sleep
Vigabatrin – Anxiety
Vistaril – Anxiety. Also need cognitive behaviour therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy
