Cocaine can make you feel confident, alert, excited and full of energy. But it can also have a number of side effects including raised body temperature, increased heart rate, anxiety and paranoia. Street cocaine is often mixed with other contaminants including talcum powder or flour, or other drugs such as amphetamines or synthetic opioids.  

Cocaine is also very addictive, due to its effect on the release of dopamine by the brain. Psychological dependence is the most common addiction.
