Hi,

I don't know what you mean by "go to your brain". That being said, it is dangerous to abuse any medication and snorting something like Oxycodone (an opiate) is certainly dangerous.

Is this friend someone who has admitted that they have a problem and is looking for help?

were no dr, but if your brain was bleeding from abuse, there would be signs, i know i cant remember things two day from using, friend said i came by, acted normal but i dont remember going by, i know im suffering memory loss.. we do know that snorting them affter the rush the pill binders and trash drain down your throat, weve done those sinus flushes expecting rainbows of colors to drain from our sinuses but to our surprise they were clean, hard to believe after years of abuse. this is just our opinion ask your friend if he can taste r smell.. we are all in the same boat and are here to help

hello, were a couple who were snorting up to 10 10/325mg percs a day, the lil pink devils, but we would snort anything we got sometimes the big ones that contain alot of tyelonel, like 10/500mg ..it didnt matter,.. abusing drugs is abusing drugs, snorting them dosent break your brain, just gives a faster rush than eating them, but u crash harder and have to snort them more often than eating them, after years of snorting, we got to the point were we had a crusher and straw on the headboard of the bed so when we awoke we would lay there and do at least two each just to get out of bed, we no longer got high,we did them just to function. we went thru a 3 month fog where they were handed to us and bought mass quanties from thanksgiving thru january we can count over 1000 pills we snorted. we are on day 22 being opiate free, and still have no smell or taste, weve been told it takes time to get it back, we hope it comes back and we havent done any permanent damage.. withdrawls are a mo fo and ours lasted 5 days of h**L.. we tapered off, our last day we only did one each.. good luck to your friends i hope they read this,they are not alone, god bless :)

Bear with me, I still don't get it. Do you mean like travel from the nostril directly through to the brain through an artery or something? That is seriously where I am lost but that's okay.

It does effect the brain in that it effects the chemistry. That can be repaired with abstinence. I would be a bit concerned about the behavior associated with the abuse. I can guess with a fair amount of confidence that it does not say "Snort every 4 hours if needed for pain" on the label of the pill bottle. So the fact that your friend is abusing the pills and looking for that quick fix is of some concern.

You are a good friend for trying to help. It would be best if you would come on and open his own account. this is a great place for support and we can help him in his efforts to get and stay clean.
