Hi Guys,

Long time no speak, but I had a quick question that i thought someone might be able to help me with. I used the search function but couldn't quite find anything to answer my question and the forum rules state this is the best stop to ask such a question.

What I want to know is, when using a drug intranasally, is it it better to try not swallow whatever it is down or keep it in the nostril for as long as possible before swalloing. I'm not sure if one or the other means one method may be more effective. I don't abuse this medication, I just find it works more effectively if i administer the dose nasally. Just really curious that if I held it in as long as possible before swallowing it, it might be a smidge more effective.

I hope this doesn't come out as a thread for a chick just looking to get high on zolpidem but I am honestly just curious because i'm after a method or technique that will help me stretch my dosage out a bit furher if it's going to improve how the pill works for me.

Anyway, I know self serving threads around frowned upon, but it would be really nice to know whether anyone has an opinion on it.

Cheers,
Hayley
 
It depends on the drug really. With stuff like ketamine, where oral BA is shit and swallowing it can cause cramps, I usually avoid swallowing as long as possible (and often just spit the drip out). But then with drugs like mephedrone, where oral BA is high and it gets absorbed through stomach anyway, I swallow whenever.

With Zolpidem though, the oral BA is already pretty high (not sure on the snorted BA), so I doubt there's gonna very advantageous to snort it other than slightly faster onset. It's also gonna burn like a motherfucker + taste awful, so probably better just to take oral.
 
The purpose of Insufflation is to absord water soluble drugs through the muccous membrane's inside the nostrils. By letting it drip down the back of your throat essentially part of the drug is being absorbed orally, which in a lot of cases is inadvisable due to the higher bioavailability of insufflation.
