After effects of cocaine binging

[johnathonz]

I was using cocaine (snorting) every night for about a month, i was spending roughly 500 dollars a week on it. I finally had the power to try and stop after i realised what it was doing to me as a person, my relationships, and my body. I have been clean for a week but i still am having problems with my nose. I have een putting vaseline in my noe every night to help it heal but it still feels dry. Are there any other suggestiong i.e. nasal sprays, other moisturizing tips to help me while i go through this. Im trying to keep my mind off using but my nose still hurts and feels dry, hopefully if it stops hurting i will be able to stop thinking about it completely.

Im in need of help.

Hey JohnZ,I also had a pretty bad 10 year Coke habit which ended 5 years
ago,but I did a couple 8balls about a month ago,just out of the blue.My nose
was bleeding and all scabbed up.Just 2 straight weeks of fun and I trashed my
nostriles for a good month.Anyway,to get back to your comment John,I personally didn't get the uni-nostrile thing from doing so much blow.LOL.Sorry,
How is your nose? Do you have any real long term damage that your aware of?
I didn't think I did that much damage to myself until I went on a plane,and the
cabin pressure gave my sinuses(which must have gotten wrecked from the Coke)
so much pain,that I thought I was having a stroke when the plane descended.
I'd have to say that the after effects of doing the blow would have a lot to do with how much,how long,and how pure it was.I rememmber seeing pictures of
people with like half a nose from doing so damn much blow.Wouldn't you think
if half your nose got trashed,wouldn't it be time for a change?Let us know if you
have any major problems from the binging?Mine is just all the eating that I used to do once I stopped the binging.

I doubt i have any real long term damage to my nose, but putting up anywhere from a gram to an eightball a night has done something. It is just very dry and still bleeds but i have only been off for a week lol. i just didnt know if there was like usefult hings to help that pain like vasaline in my nose etc.

I don't really know too much about what to do for damage in the nose caused by cocaine bc I rarely snorted it...I used to smoked it, but I've been clean from that **** for 2 years now. I just really wanted to come and say that I'm really proud of you for stopping!!! That is great. I know its a really awful drug and what it does to ppl (beleive me...been there, done that) So stay positive and keep up the good work, sometimes one hour at a time.

How long after you stop does to take for your nose to dry up? and to stop bleeding?  do you know of something are a way I can tell if my husband is still on it


           By not knowing nothing

If you want to know if he is still using? when you suspect it stick you finger in his nose and taste it. Sounds gross but it will tell you. When I was real bad with it this is how my wife busted me.
John there isn't much you can do to help your nose,try neosporin. It will take time for it to heal as you have just gave it a tremendous beating. It may take a month to heal and be very careful as you very likely to get a sinus infection if you don't have one already.

I know a way to make your nose feel better. Stop snorting coke.

i just got back from a wild night in Las Vegas and my friend said you nose has blood on the edge of you nostril. The night before i had a bloody nose and dont remember if i rubbed too hard and scratched my nose. It left a lil cut and scab. Im sure it had to do with the coke i used that whole weekend. At first i thought the worst and worried i caught an STD but i showed a few people and they said it just looked scraped or irritated. i am using neosporin and i went to church to pray for forgivness. Im never using coke again, it makes me a violent person and it facks up your body inside because i can feel my kidney pinching inside. I was wondering if anyone has had that same thing on the edge outside of the nostril that looks like a scrape or almost a cold sore. does this go away? is it an std or am i just worrying too much

[extrmeski]

One this is a very old post that you attached yourself to.  If you want answers you should just go ahead and start a new thread.  As for the sore, keep putting neosporin on it, it will eventually go away.  Cocaine is actually cocaine hydrocloride as "pure" coke is not soluble in water.  So they make the derivative which is very acidic and therefore irrates the nose lining.  I'm sure that you know not to do that stuff again!!  Not good for you.  Anyway ?I'm sure that it isn't an STD unless you had your nose where it doesn't belong!  In addition to the neosporin there is this stuff called OCEAN which will help clean out your nose and restore the natural moisture.
