Its been 3 days since I last used cocaine and my left arm becomes numb from time to time, especially in the morning. This morning it came with tingling sensation. What can this be?

Hi,
Cocaine has an anesthetic action and therefore, numbness and tingling are common after heavy use. You will find it gradually reducing with time. But in future, please be careful as heavy cocaine use can cause psychotic symptoms with the person having vivid hallucinations and delusions. Some people can also have seizures, stroke and heart attack. Also, since cocaine is highly addictive, doing it daily increases your chances of becoming dependent on it.
Best wishes.
