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?
