Hi.
My nose is badly blocked up and stuffy (mainly on one side as I almost always insufflate through the same nostril in case something like this were to happen) from insufflating OxyContin.

Anybody got any remedies for this? Apart from "stop snorting" as that's extremely obvious (I am plugging or eating my oxys for the time being).

I know I can't be the only bluelighter to experience nasal problems from insufflation.

I'm a nose-breather and HATE having a blocked nose so I'm more concerned about unblocking it so I can breath better rather than so I can shove more opiates up there.

Can anyone who's experiencd this help me? I don't imagine it would matter what drug you were snorting...
 
try washing your nose with a saline solution. draw it into a syringe and slowly squirt it up your nostril while snorting. helped me when my nose was fucked beyond description by ethylphenidate abuse. otherwise maybe try a nasal spray or some pseudoephedrine.
 
Thanks, the saline helped a little. It removed some clumps of powder-and-mucous. I think my actual nasal passages (at least on the left side) are inflamed and restricted, though. I've taken some anti-inflammatory medication I'm hoping will help.
I don't mind taking my oxy orally as it has a better BA and lasts longer. I miss the rush of insufflation, though. I'm a little constipated right now and have bad flatulence (lol) so pluggin isn't really an option, either.

Saline spray. Granted I haven't snorted anything in a very very long time but, it used to work for me back then.

I've snorted saline (well sprayed it up my nose while deeply inhaling through said nostril) twice and not put anything else up there and the stuffiness seems to be gradualy subsiding, thankfully. But I imagine it would return if I try to insufflate some Oxy?
 
neti pot

i do a mix of salt and baking soda. In a water bottle. If u dont know how to do it neti style google it & dont be afraid of drowning it feels great ... use warm water. It is healthy. Dont use med sprays. They are a quik fix that will cause more nose probs....take it from a former meth/coca nose.
 
The saline thing *does* help.

I have a fentanyl nasal spray (0.12mg fentanyl per spray) that I thought would be okay or even help, but it seems to have worsened things :(. Well, it's made me feel warm and happy...but worsened my nose lol.
 
Idk the scientific reasoning for this working, but do 10-15 pushups, everytime i have a stuffy nose and I'm about to sniff something, i do them it clears it right up, however it's only a temporart fix, but it lasts about 15-20 mins, but that's enough time to do what you gotta do, and be able to enjoy it..

That's an interesting suggestion, but it's worth giving a go! Thanks :).
 
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.

I made a suggestion similar to this on another thread but basically anyway of getting your heart rate up will do the trick. I favor jogging in place a few minutes and it usually does the trick. Personally I'd probably be half wiped out if I did a bunch of push-ups but I'm quite sure it'd work. Good suggestion mate!

Yep works for me, and even if someone were to be skeptical about it, what's the harm in trying it? The worst case scenario is that it doesn't work, you waste 20 seconds and get a little excersize lol..
 
There is essentially little you can do with snorting insoluble powders.

The number one best thing to do is to CLEAN AS YOU GO.

This goes for all insufflation.
 
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. ;)
