Ketamine & Smell and Taste damage

[SleepingTaper]

I have been using K since last October without taking any extended breaks. I have now noticed that I have a very hard time smelling/tasting things. Yes I know when my nose is stuffy and that effects the conditions mentioned in the post topic but even when it's not stuffy I have a very hard time smelling/tasting things, Is this somthing that will return when I stay off the K or did I do long lasting damage to my nose? I try and avoid the nasal sprays as I have read alot of negative reports about them. Any help would be appreciated.

This has happened to me off of using any dissociative aesthetics to be honest, especially with Ketamine.

So you're saying it's not a nose issue or do you snort all your dissociatives, teox2t?
Also, good pun with the "(an)aesthetic"

It's going to be long-term damage and if your lucky it will fix itself, but for the next while your sense of smell wont be like it used to be.

Ya my smell is gone it has it's pros and cons lol. The only thing i hate is the tissue in my nose is like raw so it's very sensitive i cry everytime I bump. Otravin is a blessing IMO lol just crush your k as fine as you can and try to use rollys or a straw. But it does heal I've been pounding my nose for 4 years without break 4 days break at most but cut down to 2 v a day half v shots here and there. My smell is gone but the tissue in my nose feels better. I've been doing maybe 2-4v a week for the last 2 months
