See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We describe seven patients with cocaine-induced movements,including choreoathetosis,akathisia,and parkinsonism with tremor.All were seen in 2 years at a municipal hospital,during which 701 visits were attributed to complications of cocaine.Dopaminergic changes are hypothesized to cause euphoria,addiction,and abnormal movements.
