Wjhat are the effects of cocaine on your body?
Answers: I can speak to the brain effects. When used, cocaine causes a massive release of dopamine, and later blocks the reuptake of dopamine (and NE and 5-HTP). The excess dopamine produces euphoria until it is broken down by monoamine oxidase. The result is a shortage of dopamine, which accounts for the infamous cocaine crash. Over the long term, dopamine receptors detect that they are individual repeatedly overstimulated, and they compensate by becoming less sensitive. At this point the risk of depression is incredibly high, since the receptors don't respond properly to majority dopamine levels. When the user quits, the receptors will return to ordinary after the withdrawal term, but there may be remaining effects on the production and release of dopamine.
As I mentioned above, cocaine also blocks the reuptake of norepinephrine (NE) and serotonin (5-HTP). It is believed that these effects are secondary to those on dopamine, but they own not been studied as extensively.
