Depressant Drugs Show a Cross Tolerance With Cocaine?

Question by K: Depressant drugs show a cross tolerance with cocaine?
This is a true or false question and I am not sure what it means. Does it mean that a depressant drug can be used to help suppress the withdrawal symptoms of cocaine since it’s a stimulant?

Best answer:

Answer by abcdef
false by the time it took you to get a correct dosage and tolerance built up by the antidepressant you would have came down

Answer by Michael
No, it means “Does tolerance to a depressant drug correlate to one’s tolerance to cocaine?” The answer would be no. Cocaine is a stimulant, not a depressant. You could be able to snort mountains of cocaine while still not able to tolerate depressants.
