Cocaine withdrawal
Symptoms:
In addition to depression, individuals may suffer from guilt feelings, somatic complaints, insomnia and loss of appetite (anorexia).

Craving remains a constant problem and may persist for years following the last dose of cocaine.
Signs and tests:
Physical examination and history of stopping cocaine use are sufficient to diagnose this condition.
