Cocaine Withdrawal - What are the Symptoms?

As compared to the daunting withdrawal symptoms of alcohol or heroin, such as vomiting and shaking, cocaine withdrawal often prompts fewer physical symptoms.

Where does an addict or a loved one affected by addiction turn for help and answers? Often, it seems, to the internet.

This innovative technology gathers and analyzes thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands of pieces of data, to shed light on the specific words and phrases that are being typed into search engines. The results show global trends in topic and key word searches; in this case, those related to “cocaine withdrawal”.
