Okay so im sorry if this is kind of gross but for years I've been able to sniff Oxys no problem, but now when I sniff them even if it's only 1, the next day I wake up with these hard booger like scabs and they're painful. If I pick them off they just bleed and come back like a regular scab. I don't understand what this could be especially since it only happens with Oxys. I can sniff anything else and my nose is fine.
 
Welcome to Bluelight!!! Snorting pills does damage the nose, which I am sure you are aware of. I suppose how much damage they do and what that damage presents itself as is largely determined by what types of fillers are in the pills. Its possible that the powder you are snorting from the Oxys is somehow a different consistency or made of something more damaging. I doubt anyone can narrow down the root of the issue more then its related to snorting pills. Problems tend to get worse through repeated exposure rather then get better so you may want to consider a different route of administration.
 
Oxy has better bioavailability when swallowed or plugged, so I don't see why you would snort them anyways. If you really want to, you could try dissolving them in water (does CWE remove binders?) and snorting the water, that may help.
 
Welcome to the world of intranasal drug abuse. Snorting things that aren't meant to be snorted (aka pills) damages your nasal passages, simple as that.
 
I'm aware that snorting pills damages your nose, I just don't get why it ONLY happens with oxycodone. Anything else, and my nose is completely fine. I did change the way of administration though, I decided to parachute them. The reason I sniff them is because I like the fast oncome and the rush, plus I honestly just like the ritual. Thanks for the answers. I was hoping maybe there was some diagnosis, so maybe there'd be a cure. Does anyone know any home remedies, that would heal it or atleast relieve some pain as its very painful? I will not be sniffing oxys anymore I can tell you that.
 
My gf loved sniffing pills until I got her to change he methods.

Oxys could possibly have a filler that eventually got the best of your nose after many years of use.

Just because you cpuld sniff oxy for many years, doesnt mean tgat eoikd continue......maybe your nose became sensitive to a filler in the oxy after all those years.

Good to see you swallowing the pills, the BA is much better.
 
Now that I think about it, it probably has to do with the amount of powder I was snorting, due to my tolerance going up. A couple months ago I was only sniffing 2 of the 30MG Oxycodone, but my tolerance shot up and now it takes 3 to get a buzz & 5 to actually get high, though I was only sniffing 4 at the most because of how much powder it was. Now that im parachuting I can take the full and actually get my desired high. I'm sure it had to due with fillers also but since it was only Oxy doing it, and I have to snort so much of it, I'm thinking a lot of it had to due with the amount of powder I snorted because it was a lot..

That's how it started for me. Long term insufflation of oxycontin, oxycodone, adderall, xanax, etc. eventually led to a hole in my septum. Due to an untreated broken nose, the hole kept increasing until plastic surgery was necessary to prevent facial deformity. Nose jobs suck, kiddos.

If the scabs keep returning, do not pick them! Irrigate with saline nasal spray, twice a day, and use a q-tip to apply bacitracin or vaseline at least once a day.

Might not be a bad idea to see an ENT with a referral from your primary care doctor, if you have health insurance.
 
1. Snorting drugs is a horrible idea, probably right behind Injecting use as far as harm caused to your body.
2. Snorting oxy, as supersoup said, is pretty much just a waste because it gets absorbed BETTER in your gut..fact.
