Effect of Cocaine

Cocaine, which blocks the uptake of catecholamines, produces dose-dependent effects, initially causing euphoria, vasoconstriction, and tachycardia, and in toxic doses, convulsions, myocardial depression, ventricular fibrillation, medullary depression, and death. Cocaine is able to block nerve conduction and currently is used only for topical anesthesia. [Pg.259]


There is some evidence of a synergistic effect on reinforcement with concurrent administration of benzodiazepines and opioids (Walker and Ettenberg 2003). Cocaine abusers are less likely than opioid abusers to abuse benzodiazepines, preferring alcohol and opioids as secondary drugs of abuse. The most common pattern of benzodiazepine misuse in these individuals is intermittent use of therapeutic or supratherapeutic doses to counter unwanted effects of cocaine. [Pg.117]

Large or quickly repeating doses over a period of hours can led to extreme anxiety, paranoia and even hallucinations. These effects usually disappear as the drug is eliminated from the body. The after-effects of cocaine and crack use may include fatigue and depression as people come down from the high. Excessive doses can cause death from respiratory or heart failure but this is rare. [Pg.515]

Figure 1.1 The dopamine transporter terminates the action of released dopamine by transport back into the presynaptic neuron. Dopamine transport occurs with the binding of one molecule of dopamine, one chloride ion, and two sodium ions to the transporter the transporter then translocates from the outside of the neuronal membrane into the inside of the neuron.22 Cocaine appears to bind to the sodium ion binding site. This changes the conformation of the chloride ion binding site thus dopamine transport does not occur. This blockade of dopamine transport potentiates dopaminergic neurotransmission and may be the basis for the rewarding effects of cocaine.

An alternative pharmacotherapy for cocaine dependence currently under investigation is use of a cocaine vaccine to blunt the reinforcing effects of cocaine.51 60 The basis of this pharmacotherapy is to decrease the rate of entry of cocaine into the CNS (and therefore the onset of action), by either binding cocaine with antibody generated by active immunization with a stable cocaine conjugate or by using an enzymatically active antibody specific for cocaine. [Pg.86]
