A little cutty cove in the Northern Pacific.
So I snorted about 200mg worth of powder last night. It generic 10mg oxy IR, generic for 10mg roxi. I didn't snort 200mg of oxy, I snorted 200mg of powder, total. I think that's about the amount, cause it looks like the amount of powder I get when I get 200mg of H.

I've snorted a ton of opiates in my life. Most of the time on a consistent basis. Last time I was doing it on the reg was 9 months ago. My nose got fucked up, but that's cause I was doing so much, I did take care of nose though. Since I stopped doing it regularly I've probably snorted H a few times. Last time being probably 4 months ago. My nose was completely fine after a couple of days blowing dope.
When I did a lot of coke and a lot of adderall (snorted) I never had a fucked up nose either.

However, today, after 2 days of blowing oxy pills, my nose if fucked up. The skin around my nose is totally dry and painful and in some places it's peeling. There are scabs on the edge on the inside part of the nostril. Inside my nose are big, painful scabs. This is the weirdest part though, I didn't get any nose bleeds over the last 2 day, but there is a ton of dry blood in them, like I had a big nosebleed. When I was trying to blow my nose to get this dry blood out, I accidentally tore of a small scab that bled a lot, for a long time. I don't know why the blood is everywhere, but the even weirder part is that this phantom nosebleed happened in the nostril I DON'T use (That's another, secondary, question. Is anyone else 1 nostriled. I can breath through both, but I can only sniff through one. The other just doesn't work).

I don't plan on snorting anymore of this stash, I just want to know for the future. I also want to know whether my nose is messed up or the pills caused the mess up. I really can't go to the doctor unless it gets serious, what am I going to say "hey I recreationally snorted a schedule 2 medication someone prescribed that I'm not even supposed to have." It just hurts right now and is pretty damn gross. Any idea's on how to make it feel better. Any idea what's going on. Why it bled on the inside and not the out. Why it bled in the nostril I didn't use
 
Is it really dry in your area? It's possible the low humidity made your nasal tissue easy to tear, and it could have happened at pretty much any time recently.

Go have a hot steamy shower, breathe through your nose for a while, and don't mess around with your nose any more. Let it heal.
 
61% humidity. My nose is actually not that bad anymore. I must have had the phantom nosebleed at some point last night, then I cleaned out all the dried blood. I think pretty much everything was some sort of dried blood. Besides the scab that bled, everything else just came out in dried blood flakes. The dried blood was probably putting pressure on areas that made my nose overall more sensitive.

As for my secondary question, I'm almost more interested in it at this point. Is anyone else only able to use one nostril? Like I said I can breathe through both, but not strong enough in one of them to be able to suck stuff up there.
 
Get ones of those vicks vapo inhale things but don't put in the menthol tab, just fill it with water. I can go through both but sometimes not, I usually always use my left, it's much better and more used to taking shit up it haha, the other one can be painful as fuck with things like k
 
Dissolve the pills in water before snorting. Only the drugs and polar compounds will dissolve and this will help mitigate total mass that you snort up there. In addition wash your nose out after snorting with something like a Neti Pot. Really there is only so much that can be done (you are forcing a caustic environment up there after all), but limiting as much as possible the time your mucus membranes spend in contact with a basic solution will be beneficial.
 
Yea, not very healty... I know what I'm doing to myself, but it's such a great way to get drugs. I love the ritual. Part of me is addicted to that.

So, anyways. I just remembered something as I was floating in a daze; the first place I start itching, when on oxy, is my nose, every time. It's so second nature at this point that I don't even realize it. It's not like I pick it. I wipe it with my fingers and hands, pinch it sorta. I think since it's the place I itch the most, I'm most likely just grinding the inside's away...

This needs to end, any suggestions?
 
You didn't snoot 200mgs of powder, you snorted up grams and grams of shite and 200mgs of oxy :)

You can try some saline solution, and either ointment or vitamin E oil on the inside of your nostrils, that's what I'd do.
 
My friend had a really bad irritation from snorting 80's and it lingered for weeks. She didn't tell her doctor exactly what she had been doing but brought it to his attention during a visit for something else. I think he ended up prescribing her some type of prednisone plus a cream to apply. It had gotten really red and inflamed though and it would start to go away and then come back.

I know what you mean about the one-nostril because I had a deviated septum. Got it fixed but then my nose got broken again, I had no insurance for the third surgery. My sinuses are bad and sometimes it doesn't drain right. So snorting them turned into too much waste for me. But yeah, you get attached to the ritual itself. You can try saline spray or gel to prevent further drying up. Also antibiotic ointment like Neosporin, and that might help to stop you from touching it.
 
Morphling, I thought I mentioned on my first post that I snorted 200mg of powder, not oxy, powder. I snorted much less than 200mg of oxy.

CN, I know I shouldn't snort pills, but then again, I probably shouldn't being do all these drugs to begin with. Snorting is probably the dirtiest thing I do, and I do it rarely.
 
This is why I plug; it's not glamorous but man does my nose and wallet and being in withdrawal less often feel better...
 
They don't really work for me. I have only 1 working nostril. It's very weird. Like I said, I can still breathe out of the right nostril, but not well enough that I could only breathe through it and no other hole (that sounds dirty even though it isn't, at all). I don't remember how long this has been, but it's not because of drugs. I first noticed it because the first time I tried to snort something I was so confused as to why I could only use 1 nostril.

I really fucked up my nose. Every time I blow my nose, or put a tissue up there, I'm always in for a gross surprise. Good thing I'm done with the oxy.

I actually plugged for the first time a week ago. The nurse just left one of those big ass needless syringes for an IV drop near my bed in the hospital, and the first thing that came to mind was "I guess I should try plugging!" It was not bad at all. It has nothing to do with your masculinity or lack there of. I love how in some thread people talk about IVing and in the next sentence talk about how they could never plug.
 
Oral syringes are also availiable for less than a dollar, usually, at your local pharmacy, usually in 1, 3, 5, and 10 ml sizes.

Wierd, isn't it. People change their minds about rectally administered drugs pretty quick if they ever get so ill they can't hold antinausea medication in their stomach :p
 
Okay, it's been 2 days since the last time I put anything up my nose. Before you ask, yes, I did blow more after I was told not to :/

My nose is pretty fucked. The edges of the nostrils have scabs that are plainly visible. The forward corners of my nostrils have tiny scabs that make me want to cry.

My nose is so full of scabs and dried blood that breathing hurts...

Besides neti pot, are there and home remedies to accelerate the healing and make some of the pain go away and make breathing easier
