Intranasal has by far been my favorite route. If it wasn't so caustic I would do it much more often. I always took my ethylphenidate using the bendy straw method so as to not get any eph in my lungs and the burn was significantly less with the bendy straw method. Im gonna play around with a nasal mister next time I order EPH so i can hopefully lessen the damage. Any long term (not like addiction just 1-3 times a week) ethylphenidate in nasal mister users care to talk about what kind of negative effects it has on their sinuses?
Its pretty harsh, even in a nasal mister. I don't recommend it at all really. In retrospect, plugging it on a regular basis to avoid the nasal damage/pain was a really bad idea.
On occasion, i guess its alright, but the dosage required, even dissolved in saline and misted, really fucking burns, leaves your mucous membranes all dried out, and just sucks. I tried it a few times, and just stuck to rectal admin from there on.
Since then, i stopped using EPH, realizing my stimulant consumption was a serious addiction, and have since made the switch to nasal administered MDPV. I know that sounds like BS, but i don't take more than maybe 20mg a week tops, nasally administered. Much better on the nose, and with a bit of aloe vera/saline nasal spray, and some xylitol, i don't notice much damage at all.
EPH is nice, but in my experience, the only way to take it, if your goign to do so on a regular/semi-regular basis is orally. Just too caustic and not potent enough for nasal/rectal without causing damage. MDPV is potent enough to get away with that. But, still is a bad idea.
Just to make it clear, i only made the switch to MDPV, since i knew i was taking way too much EPH, and dri/ndri's in general. I slowly cut back my pv usage to not have to deal with any kind of w/d's, and stop fucking up my rectum and nose so bad. Ideally I don't want to use either of them any more frequently than once a week max, if at all. Since then i've drastically cut back on the pv usage, that i once needed to get the high i got from EPH. PV can be used responsibly, so can eph, similarly they can both fuck your health/life up big time if you abuse them.
But PV can open another can of worms entirely, my point being, is that IF you can control your usage and use eph/pv responsibly, and you want to administer it nasally, i'd go with pv.
I reallly don't like EPH nasally misted, even only on special occasions. Burns like a motherfucker, and is hell on your nose. Even just a few times a week, i noticed how it was damaging my nose. PV doesn't do this, but imho, that makes it more addictive since there's less side affects.
Personally, i'd steer clear of nasal EPH under any circumstances. But that's just me.
And speaking from personal experience, be extremely careful with compulsive/habitual dosing of either substances. I got caught up in that cycle of shittyness a few times, and pretty much learned my lesson there. Well, to be fair, it was a couple mescaline and lsd trips after a almost half year break from psychs, during which i was using alot of eph/pv, and figuring out it was just a road to disaster. Thats usually how i get out of addictions, not actively, but passively through introspection under the influence of a psychedelic drug.
