what are the specific signs of cocaine withdrawal(heart rate ect)?

How specific do you want them to be?  Heart rate is pretty individual, you know.\nAnyway, I'm sure all drug withdrawal symptoms are just awful but if you read the articles (links below), they all say that with cocaine, the symptoms aren't as bad as for most drugs.\nI don't know if that's a good thing, but that wasn't the question.

possibly because it was triggered by an outside source...for example if you tried cocaine right before it happened then it was triggered by that.....but if youve had no other runs of it that long then it may not have been SVT either....just a case of ST...if it was a cardiac defect in the hearts electrical system I think you wouldve had more than just one episode....question is was this documented on an ekg???And did a cardiologist interpet it or just a regular dic???Alot can go into deciding if it was SVT or another arrythmia...

Try http://www.ca.org/\nOne cocaine effect, appetite suppression, is very popular for people looking to lose weight or maintain a low weight. Fashion models have been known to use cocaine in order to stay thin. Cocaine users often go days without eating and if this behavior is continued it can lead to addiction. Increased heart rate, blood pressure, constricted blood vessels, dilated pupils, and increased temperature are all short-term physiological cocaine effects. When taken in large quantities, cocaine will intensify the user's high and may cause violent and erratic behavior on the part of the user. \n\nLong-tem cocaine effects are noticeable as cocaine abuse continues and tolerance builds. Since cocaine is a highly addictive drug, it can lead to major medical complications and health problems. Some of the these complications include heart disease, heart attacks, respiratory failure, strokes, seizures, and gastrointestinal problems. Other physical symptoms include convulsions, nausea, blurred vision, chest pain, fever, muscle spasms, and coma. \n\nAs the habit of using cocaine becomes increasingly important, behavior such as lying, heating, stealing, absenteeism at work and denying the use of cocaine, is an evident side effect. While these behaviors are not directly related to the use of cocaine, these cocaine effects are often present due to the lifestyle of the addict. \n\nOther long-term cocaine effects include: \n\nAddiction\nParanoia\nIrritability\nRestlessness\nAuditory hallucinations\nMood disturbances\n\nWith continued use, many cocaine addicts develop a higher tolerance for the drug over time. Addicts are also said to "chase the high"; meaning they continue to use cocaine seeking the feeling they felt the first time they used it. For people addicted to cocaine and cocaine effects, this high will never again be felt in the same way, and this addiction can lead to insanity and death.

just a guess but i'd say the blood was not from being struck and restrained i would suggest the cocaine presumably inhailed through the nose caused a failure /rupture of the sinus cavity  Similar to overdose and the man was oding before he was beaten and restrained it just took 20 mins or so for the od to fully kick in the cocaine may not have fully absorbed into the bloodstream by the time he was tested / after the sinus was already destroyed preventing more from showing up in the bloodwork.  but that's just an uneducated guess.

If you have a false positive test for cocaine, you might have bigger problems. I looked on a web site, and most of the false positives are caused by serious health problems:\n\nCocaine - Substances or Conditions which can cause false positives\nKidney infection (kidney disease)\nLiver infection (liver disease)\nDiabetes\nAmoxicillin, tonic water\n\nThere are a LOT of web sites out there on this subject. DO web searches for "cocaine false positive" (without the quotation marks) and similar searches for more.

Cocaine and Crack\nCocaine is a white crystalline powder made from the dried leaves of the coca plant. Crack, named for its crackle when heated, is made from cocaine. It looks like white or tan pellets. \n\nStreet Names for Cocaine: coke, snow, blow, nose candy, white, big C\n\nStreet Names for Crack: freebase, rock\n\nHow They're Used: Cocaine is inhaled through the nose or injected. Crack is smoked.\n\nEffects & Dangers: \n\nCocaine is a stimulant that rocks the central nervous system, giving users a quick, intense feeling of power and energy. Snorting highs last between 15 and 30 minutes; smoking highs last between 5 and 10 minutes. \nCocaine also elevates heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. \nInjecting cocaine can give you hepatitis or AIDS if you share needles with other users. Snorting can also put a hole inside the lining of your nose. \nFirst-time users - even teens - of both cocaine and crack can stop breathing or have fatal heart attacks. Using either of these drugs even one time can kill you. \nAddictiveness: These drugs are highly addictive, and as a result, the drug, not the user, calls the shots. Even after one use, cocaine and crack can create both physical and psychological cravings that make it very, very difficult for users to stop.

if someone is coked out, it means they're either a) currently on cocaine, or b) a habitual cocaine user who is showing signs of stress and drug abuse.  (for example, someone who's pale, too thin, dark circles under eyes, red nose, ratty hair, deep scratch marks on arms, whatever)

At doses above 300mg, Effexor has some dopamine re uptake properties, that is, it can produce some similar effects to cocaine. Because a similar effect might be experienced by the patient, past cocaine users might be at a heightened risk for relapse in an attempt to "sustain the high" or "continue to block the re-uptake of dopamine."

"Animal research has shown that the potential for cannabinoid psychological dependence does exist, and includes mild withdrawal symptoms. Although not as severe as that for alcohol, heroin, or cocaine dependence, marijuana withdrawal is usually characterized by insomnia, restlessness, loss of appetite, irritability, anger, increased muscle activity (jerkiness), and aggression after sudden cessation of chronic use as a result of physiological tolerance. Prolonged marijuana use produces both pharmacokinetic changes (how the drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted) and pharmacodynamic changes (how the drug interacts with target cells) to the body. These changes require the user to consume higher doses of the drug to achieve a common desirable effect, and reinforce the body’s metabolic systems for synthesizing and eliminating the drug more efficiently.\n\nPreliminary research, published in the April 2006 issue of the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, indicates that cannabis addiction can be offset by a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy and motivational incentives. Participants in the study (previously diagnosed with marijuana dependence) received either vouchers as incentives to stay drug free, cognitive-behavioral therapy, or both over a 14-week period. At the end of 3 months, 43 percent of those who received both treatments were no longer using marijuana, compared with 40 percent of the voucher group, and 30 percent of the therapy group. At the end of a 12-month follow-up, 37 percent of those who got both treatments remained abstinent, compared with 17 percent of the voucher group, and 23 percent of the therapy group."\n\nThis, and more, available on the free, online encyclopedia, Wikipedia at:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_issues_and_the_effects_of_cannabis\n\nThe National Institutes of Health (NIH) has a report entitled, "Combination of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Incentives Enhance Treatment for Marijuana Addiction" at this web site:\nhttp://www.nih.gov/news/pr/apr2006/nida-01.htm\n\nHope this helps!
