What Will Be The Effect Of Regular Use Of Cocaine On Body ?
Hi, For the past six months or so, I have been a regular user (about 1 gram + /day) of cocaine. In addition, I m also on several prescription meds--however, no side effects of the prescription meds noted odor problems. And for the last several months, while I ve been using coke, I ve noticed an EXTREME case of BO.....my armpits, my feet, my breath-- breath i know is from the coke. And please let me state for the record, my hygiene is impeccable. Also, I m aware that it makes you sweat but I ve been getting terrible night sweats as well.....I would understand if I was using late at night right before going to sleep...but I ve had puddles of sweat in my bed when I stopped late afternoon. Can you please help?
