A week is not very long... you need to be patient with yourself and remind yourself often that you are "withdrawing" and the feelings and sensations that you have will not always be as "intense" as right now. It takes awhile to get your brain chemistry back to somewhat normal - at least a couple of months. Please try hard to not get discouraged, as it is worth it. There may be meds to help you, but time is really going to help the most. Another helpful thing to work on after discontinuing cocaine and alcohol is your nutrition - a good multi-vitamin and multi-mineral to nurture your body cells is a good idea.
Wishing you the very best - hang in there, you will be so glad that you did.
