I am slightly concerned i may have acquired a sinus infection/irritation from snorting subutex. I feel this weird sort of flushing sensation when i lay down on my back and have a little bit of congestion/funk-iness back up in there. These are pretty much my only symptoms, but I am quite surprised that I have this, since I only have been snorting them for like two days (before that maybe twice in the last month and other than that really haven't been snorting anything for at least 6 months and had no nasal issues prior~ dosage being: 4mg over the course of a couple hours in like 0.5mg lines). I have no problem stopping snorting and only did so in the first place to conserve my dose somewhat, yes i know this is very stupid and i can consider it lesson learned once this is over.

My symptoms are pretty mild but just wanted to make sure this was legitimate and not just minor irritation, and also that since I have a left over script of minocycline and have seen that one of its indications is for sinus infections- Would taking that if the symptoms got worse be a reasonable thing to do? I am extremely against going to a doc on this since i would probably be dropped off 16mg if said doc found i had snorted any portion of my dose whatsoever.

So- symptoms mild: stop snorting/do some water lines of some salt water

or

symptoms mild but may become bad should start taking minocycline now and remain very aware/concerned of worsening symptoms?

Basically, should i just get my shit together and let it ride out over a couple days, or should i be really worried and treat this very seriously?
I guess i just want a more confident affirmation of the minor-ness of the situation if that makes sense. I am also a light tobacco smoker with e cigarette use moderately throughout the day with about a couple drags from a cigarette on top of that.
 
I think some saline and decongestants are in order. Shouldnt really take antibiotics if not sure you have an infection and minocycline would most likely not be appropriate anyway. Sounds like some irritation more than anything but if symptoms persist or worsen, go to the doctor.

Alright ya that's exactly what i wanted a reaffirmation of, already got me some saline and what not, actually started on the minocycline again anyway for my acne so doesn't really make a difference either way lol.

thanks

If you use tap water, make sure you boil it first. People have contracted deadly brain viruses using those pots full of water to clear their sinuses.

Ya i use a water heater and wait till it cools off a bit so its all good.
 
Have you heard of the neti pot? Its works wonders for sinuses I'm using it when I get home cause I've snorted sub last night and got the same feeling today.
 
But snorting it is dumb it doesn't hit much quicker than sublingual and no rush so what's the point you could crush it up and rub it into your veins underneath your tounge and its the same bioavailability roughly .
I just get bored sometimes and do a line of it no more than 0.2 ever but I don't want to do it its nasty to think about that orangey pill in your sinuses.

Except its Subutex, so that's not a problem (of course it's still shit for your nose/lungs).
Gotta say when i get really bad cravings and whatnot, snorting it (although i do feel it more than with SL, it is for a much less period of time, so overall i feel like you probably get just the same as SL, but with a better peak effect) completely takes them away, perhaps more through the action of snorting if not the actual effects of the drug....
Regardless i should never resort to that still for health reasons and the whole "defeating of the whole purpose of buprenorphine" thing... lol
