Withdrawal Cocaine withdrawal isn't as severe as the withdrawal from other symptoms. For example, substances like alcohol and benzodiazepines can involve severe physical withdrawal symptoms while cocaine results in mostly psychological withdrawal symptoms. Physiological changes caused by cocaine withdrawal include vivid and unpleasant dreams, insomnia, hypersomnia, anger, increased appetite, weight gain, psychomotor retardation, agitation, depression, and anxiety. Cocaine and its metabolites are completely eliminated from the body by 3 days.[12] According to a study done by Gawin and Kleber in 1986, there are three phases in the withdrawal process. Phase one, the crash, cute dysphoria, irritability and anxiety, increased desire for sleep, exhaustion, increased appetite, decreased craving to use. Phase two, withdrawal, is characterized by increasing craving to use, poor concentration, some irritability and some lethargy, which persisted for up to 10 weeks. Phase three, is characterized by intermittent craving to use in the context of external cues.
