Opioids Stuffy/Blocked Nose From Insufflating plus nosebleed

Pick ur nose. I'm serious. I know that sounds odd but jus go head n pick it. u know u want to pick out all those hard boogers anyways. Easiest way to clean ur nose and u don't need anything but ur finger. ;)

Hehe, then you can put 'em in a box and start a sweet collection! jk :)
 
I'm not gon lie, I've done that. I haven't saved them in a box anywhere. When I used to sniff Ritalin and Oxys, I would def pick my nose and eat if afterwards jus in case I left anything behind. I know I know. Muy desperada. No I do not do shit like that on a regular basis anymore.
 
I had this problem, and then relized I'd burned a hole in my septum...the congested feeling I had was due to a flesh/snot scab that would form inside the hole periodically. It would feel like I was breathing through a straw when breathing through my nose, but I was congested in the typical sense--no buggers, snot, iinflamation, etc... As soon as I blew out the scab, it was like my nose opened up again. Not saying this is ur problem, but if u snort a lot its worth thinking about--either as a cause, or as a thing to avoid. I believe I got it from falling asleep with coke in my nose for about a year straight, had been snorting for a while b4 w/out issue but practiced good nasal hygene--saline spray, neti pot, etc

It depends what you are snorting really. When I was using cocaine, my nose would get super stuffed up. Nothing could make it budge to unblock it. Sometimes using more coke itself would do the trick but it would clog up again on me.
Other drugs, I could just use the spray and it would loosen up. Try sniffing on the other side and that will probably be helpful. Or one of those steam-pot devices.

Ah, sorry to hear that, man.
I tend to flush my nasal passage(s) out with saline after a snorting sesh and switch nostrils every so often. My favourite drugs are oxy and xanax. I always sublingual/swallow the xanax. With Oxy I give my nose a rest sometimes and just chew 'em. They have a higher oral BA anyway (just less of a rush).
 
(any drug) Nosebleed...just switch nostril?

I got my first proper nosebleed today. Probably because I had to be very quick snorting an OC 40. I only had a minute or two. I quickly peeled the coating off (I know crushing breaks the time release anyway, but why put that extra shit in my body and it MIGHT make a small difference).
So I crushed the OC and [not sure if how-to type bits are allowed in posts] did a very fast job chopping it up and it wasn't as fine as usual, and I snorted the powder all in one go.

I normally 1) spend a while making sure the powder is really fine and
2) even 1 small pill I put into like four smalllll lines and take a 10-15 second break between them.

Either it was that or my nostril was already a little raw from accumulative damage (I've only actually been insufflating for about a month).

For some reason, I have ALWAYS used the same nostril. Always. The one that is on the left in the mirror or people facing me (not that it matters lol).

Since I have only ever been using one nostril, would it be totally fine to just switch to the other for a while? The powder wouldn't reach right up high where the nostrils meet, would it?

Please no lectures on snorting, or that Oxy has a better oral BA (I usually only snort it if I've eaten recently).

Okay no offense, but you've already created 4 threads on what to do about the side effects of snorting your oxy. You already have one about your first nosebleed, then about clogged nostrils, then about a runny nose, and about a nasal spray. I get the feeling you have a lot of anxiety surrounding your drug use but all of these threads could have been combined. You've started a ton of threads since joining which is fine in theory but most of them could be combined, and very few actually generate discussion because they're all about an extremely specific situation relating only to you.

Obviously if you got a nosebleed you can swtich nostrils, but if one month in you're already experiencing noticable damage you have to realize it wille evntually happen in the other nostril as well. Snoring drugs irritates your membranes, that's really all there is to it. You can either choose to continue or find a different roa.
 
^ Yea I merged the two threads with nasal issues.

Oxy8_8, since you don't want to hear about taking it orally for the higher BA, then the only answer is to switch nostrils.
 
Slow down with snorting because nosebleeds aren't good. I never had them with oxys but one morning I woke up with a small lump on my face. It was in between my eye and nose and I didn't know what to make of it. It was a bit painful and got worse as the day went on, I went to the hospital. Though I felt I was over-reacting, I told the doctor I had been having sinus problems. He said it's good I came in as these sort of infections can quickly spread and go to your brain (being that it's on your face) They gave me a prescription for antibiotics and a shot in the bum while I was there.
 
In an emergency and i DO mean emergency oxymetazoline will clear it right out and allow you to blow everything out of your nose. Prepared to be grossed tho bc it can be a lot if it is inflamed. Dont use that shit for more than once or twice or you WILL get rebound effects that i can only liken to a nose full of superglue. I had congestion from my nostil to the back of my head it felt like and it lasted for like a month str8. Also the push up thing works ok too for a quick second. Its been uite some time since ive snorted anything so even with my partially deviated septum i breathe normally from ny nose, its pure torture not being able to while being in the fog of congestion.
