The effects of cocaine show almost as soon as a single dose is taken disappearing within few hours or even minutes. When small quantities are taken, almost up to hundred milligrams, it can make one feel energetic, euphoric, talkative, and even mentally alert especially to touch, sound and sight sensations. Cocaine often reduces sleep and food requirements temporarily. People may find it helpful for completing their simple intellectual and physical tasks quickly, though with others it may be the opposite.
Depending on the administration route followed for intake of cocaine, the duration of its instant euphoric effects vary greatly. The high is most intense when the absorption is fastest, followed by the shortest duration of the actions. With the development of cocaine abuse, often there is a development of the tolerance levels. Therefore, the higher and frequent the intake is the more is the requirement of the brain to feel the same amount of pleasure as it was felt initially. According to recent studies, during cocaine use abstinence, even for long periods, the very memory of the ecstasy involved with its intake or a mere reminder of the use can causeintensive craving and even relapse to the drug.
