Cocaine is a powerful stimulant. So, a person who uses it on a regular basis often stays up for days at a time.

Cocaine also makes you manic, with a very short attention span, so you start running around doing 20 different things at once. A person on cocaine might, for example, decide to clean the whole kitchen at 3 a.m. But halfway into it, they'll abandon the job, and start reorganizing their DVD collection instead. Then they'll lose interest in that, and decide to start cleaning out their closet. Things like that.

A person on cocaine usually talks a LOT, very fast. They just won't shut up. And they do not have the attention span to listen to other people.

A person on cocaine might also grind their teeth, clench their jaw, and fidget excessively. If they are sniffing the cocaine, they will usually get frequent nosebleeds, as cocaine is a very harsh, abrasive substance.

The only way to know if a sample supposedly contains Cocaine really does contain it, is to analyse it with a Mass Spectrometer or Infrared Spectrometer. They are machines used in analytical laboratories and can determine important molecular characteristic with which a properly schooled chemist can determine the exact contents of the sample(s) and often even in which concentrations. Many field tests are are only moderately accurate and can give false positives for many substances completely unrelated to Cocaine.

Because Cocaine is often adulterated with other drugs and additives who have similar effects as Cocaine. To mimic the local anesthetic effects of Cocaine, it is often adulterated with other local anesthetics such as Lidocaine, Benzocaine and Bupivacaine which when applied to the gums or nasal linings will cause a numbing sensation, just like Cocaine does. And to mimic the stimulating and euphoric effects of Cocaine, it is often adulterated with other (euphoric) stimulants such as Caffeine, Amphetamine, Mephedrone and Methylphenidate which all suppress hunger and make you feel more awake and energetic, some of them will even cause a short lasting rush of euphoria, just like Cocaine. Another group of adulterants often used to cut Cocaine are the bulking agents, such as Mannitol, Inositol and which are added to increase the weight and volume of product a person has, thus increasing his/her profit when selling it. For example, 300 grams of a bulking agent are added to very pure Cocaine, making 400 grams of adulterated Cocaine which will make a lot more money compared to the 100 gram you started out with.

So short of using analytical laboratory equipment such as a Mass Spectrometer or Infrared Spectrometer, you can't say with any certainty what really is in a sample of alleged Cocaine, or if it even contains any Cocaine at all.

I was at one time a user, so here are some of the symptoms. Runny nose caused by the powdery substance, and if they are using Dristan all of sudden then stop for no reason then pick it back up, or some type of nasal moisturizer like Ocean since its mostly Saline or even sometimes a small glass of water to dip their fingers in, to help moisten their nasal area. Remember they do not want to lose that substance in their nasal cavity, but instead, allow for it to mix with their mucus to enter the blood stream.

Next is the weight loss from not eating and constant rubbing of the nose or even a bit of blood in the nostril from the product. Then you have the sleeplessness nights if they are partying, followed by the red eyes and a non stop talking for some. Sudden jerkiness from movement which can also be nervousness or restlessness. You cant tell by just one item but instead watch to gather enough info then make your assessment.
