I know nothing about cocaine. My boyfriend comes home from work and is extremley mean (yelling, cussing, throwing things) at me and my children. I know that a guy he works with does cocaine. He is been hanging out with him a lot lately. My question is when you come down are you mean.
I just dont know what is going on with him. He has no other symptoms like runny nose, red eyes, sniffling or anything like that, he is losing a little weight and hardly ever sleeps. He goes to bed at like 12:00 and has to be at work at 4:30. Like I said no other obvious signs, unless they dont appear until youve been using for a while. When you come off your coc high are you mean and irritable. How long does a coc high last? Im very confused at why he is treating us so bad, I thought it could be from coming dowm off a coc high, I have never done it so I dont know. If someone knows how people on coc are or some early signs could you please let me know, I'm at the end of my rope. Thanks a lot

Since you know his boss does it as him directly. You can't have this type of conversation you have no chance at a long term relationship. If he is using get him out of there. If he denies it I would still consider getting him out of there if he is becoming abusive.

How does cocaine work?
Your brain produces a substance called dopamine (DOH-pah-meen) when you feel happy. After a time, the dopamine decreases because "transporters" mop up the dopamine. The transporters put the dopamine back in the area in your brain where it is kept until your next happy event. Cocaine works by keeping the transporters from mopping up the dopamine. While the dopamine stays free, you have a feeling of great happiness or well being.
The first time you use cocaine you will usually feel a great amount of excitement and joy. If you use cocaine a second time, you will probably not have the same effect. The high feeling may not be as strong, and you may not feel as good. This may happen because your brain will make more transporters to mop up the dopamine. The new transporters work more quickly to mop up dopamine when you have used cocaine before. Cocaine will not affect you as well or as long as it did the first time you used it.
What is cocaine abuse? Cocaine abuse is when ongoing cocaine use leads to problems being around others, doing your job, or new medical problems. When cocaine use is at it's worse, cocaine abusers will have three or more of the following problems:
Two or more of the following withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms will happen hours or days after using less cocaine:
Feeling anxious.
Feeling restless.
Feeling sick to your stomach, or throwing up.
Having seizures (convulsions).
Increased shaking in your hands.
Seeing, hearing or feeling things that are not really there.
Sweating, or fast heartbeat.
Trouble sleeping.
Using more cocaine than you first wanted to. You may use more, or use it over a longer time than you first wanted to.
Being unable to decrease or control your use of cocaine. You may want cocaine all of the time. You may feel it is not possible to decrease or control the amount of cocaine you are using.
Much of your time is spent using cocaine, or dealing with a hangover after using cocaine. "Hangover" is a word used for how you feel four to six hours after using a drug. You may feel very tired and sick to your stomach.
You spend less time around others, at work, or doing activities that you enjoy. You may spend most or all of your time using or searching for cocaine.
Even with a physical or mental condition that gets worse when using cocaine, you keep using the drug. For example, after using cocaine, you may get depressed (very sad). Even though you know this will happen, you keep using cocaine.
What problems may acute or chronic use of cocaine cause? Acute use of cocaine means snorting, smoking, or injecting a lot of cocaine at one time. Chronic use of cocaine means using cocaine over a long period of time. Acute or chronic use of cocaine may lead to cocaine intoxication (in-tocks-ih-KAY-shun). Cocaine intoxication may cause one or more of the following signs and symptoms:
Being easily angered, having mood swings, or threatening to hurt other people.
Being unable to focus on one thing, or talking when your words do not make sense to other people.
Feeling that you are the center of everyone's attention, or thinking that people are following you.
Having a headache, or hearing ringing in your ears.
Hearing or feeling things that you know are not there ("coke bugs").
Not enjoying the things you used to enjoy, or thinking about, planning to, or trying to kill yourself.
Severe (very bad) cocaine intoxication may cause:
Seizures (convulsions).
Heart attack.
Your heartbeat to be irregular.
Your body temperature to rise very high.

paranoia is a sign when coming off the high. sounds like you need to dump him and move on as his anger will only progress to a dangerous level until he get help. you and your kids should not be subjected to this. it will scar them for life. think of them if you can't think of yourself. get rid of him quick!
