Stange thing... I found out that I have different metabolic pathways than other people because I can get high off Phenylephrine. What do you think of this strange occurrence ?

This blog I read had a good post regarding a paper on phenylephrine's crappieness a few years back. The author is pretty even-minded, and I've been reading his takes on various journal articles and events for over a decade.
The main thing that came up is that the bioavailability of phenylephrine is variable and can be as low as 1%. Maybe you either through genetics or drug interactions metabolize much less and can actually get central adrenergic effects from it.
Try just using it on one nostril only. Then when the opposite side heals or finally opens up, you can stop. You’ll be able to breathe out of the other one until that one heals.Phenylephrine is an excellent nasal decongestant when taken topically (nasal spray).
Im hopelessly addicted to it unfortunately, its been years now (resulting in whats known as rhinitis medicamentosa). Ive tried quitting, but its just too difficult. I think i need that balloon surgery that reshapes the sinuses.
