Extraordinary blocked nasal passages

[mrcientist]

So, I snorted ~250mg of ethylphenidate early this afternoon and evening, a common, if not my favourite ROA, and proceeded to consume another 250mg orally. A fairly vanilla night by my standards.

I'll qualify the problem and put it into perspective by saying I've had up to 1.5g nasally with slight, weeklong discomfort in my nasal cavity. However, this evening, with the prior doses I mentioned, I have suffered severe blockage of both nasal passages to the point of no nose-based breathing possible at all!

Anyone have any idea of the cause (impurities ofc, and an inhospitable nasal environment and the caustic nature of the chem)

More importantly, does anyone have a magical remedy? I've tried my interpretation of the old Chinese saline method by simply snorting salt (usually works phenomenally), but to little avail.

Can any of this fine community help??

Please can anyone help, it sounds super trivial but it's becoming increasingly unpleasant

There's probably some inflammation happening. I'd wait until tomorrow to try anything else because the problem is too fresh. Maybe by morning it will have drained.

Cheers Foreigner mate, I may give some anti-inflammatorys a go

An NSAID like aspirin might help. The passages are probably incredibly irritated. If you try adding anything in there, I'd just use distilled water. The salt probably just increased congestion this time around.

Also keep in mind that if the problem gets worse each time you use that ROA, then it suggests you are on your way to developing chronic sinusitis... which is a bitch to cure.

That would be a terrible shame as I'm much more of an oral/rectal kind of guy (even though the second has some severe pitfalls too, I try to rotate all ROAs Sans needle.

I'll give it a good rinse out and take an NSAID, we only have ibuprofen to hand though, cheers for your advice

The impurities in the RC could be causing it too. Is it caustic? 2CE was a bitch to sniff.

That sounds like too much to sniff though. Either its weak and cut, or you have a real tolerance issue.
