  The report is the latest in a series of NIDA Research Reports on used drugs. Other Research Reports cover methamphetamine, nicotine, heroin, inhalants, and anabolic steroids. Highlights from "Cocaine Abuse and Addiction" are below.
  Addiction, irritability, mood disturbances, restlessness, paranoia, and auditory hallucinations are among the possible long-term consequences of repeated cocaine use.
  Cardiovascular effects include disturbances in heart rhythm and heart attacks. Respiratory effects include chest pain and respiratory failure. Strokes, seizures, and headaches are among the neurological effects. Gastrointestinal complications include abdominal pain and nausea. Cocaine abusers, especially those who inject the drug, also are at increased risk of infectious diseases, such as HIV/AIDS and hepatitis.
