Talk:Cocaine dependence

http://www.cocainewithdrawalsymptoms.net/ this website is highly suspect as it contains virtually no information and no verifiable sources. I would suggest you turn to http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000947.htm instead, where it the established fact is clearly stated that cocaine withdrawal often does not have any physical component at all.

The section which refers to Aigner and Balster(1978) states that rhesus monkeys were neglectful of, violent towards, and in some cases actually ate their young, when dependent upon cocaine. No such observations are made by Aigner and Balster (1978), in whose study, the rhesus monkeys were housed individually, not with their young. 149.171.96.35 (talk) 05:38, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The bottom section has an inline reference to a Baylor U study, shouldn't this be annotated normally and not referenced in the article itself? Tnmonaghan (talk) 07:31, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This was interesting on the talk page of cocaine: Talk:Cocaine#mesotelencephalic system. Nagelfar (talk) 01:15, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The presentation section until recently stated that race was a factor in the likelihood of a person developing a cocaine dependence. It seems quite suspect to me, and it was partly removed by another user. I was wondering if anyone knows of a source that could support the statement?

The mortality in cocaine users is high

i propose the removal of this sentence if no plausible research is added.this is a vague sentence[high compared to what..certainly not heroin] and the risk of overdose when snorting cocaine is quite low ,again,compared to other drugs like amphetamines heroin etc on a personal note i might add that i know quite a few cocaine users and i have yet to see a fatality.i can't say the same compared to heroin —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.117.12.207 (talk) 07:52, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

i realize this was posted two years ago, but it probably meant that it was high relative to the number of people who used like 20% of people who use cocaine might die of a heart attack and cocaine can be seen as contributing to the heart attack. should probably put that bit back. anyone against let me know, i still havent looked at the original text yet.
