Kratom any strands helps with opiete withdrawal takes away the pain an urge im a testimony behind it. Plugging your nosw with tissue an using antibotic pain reliver creme like neosporin relieve the pain. You can buy kratom online or at tabacco store research it in your area because its not sold everywhere.

I had the same pain from snorting pills. My face was burning I had sever tooth pains. I figured out it is a sever sinus infection. I had a bottle of anti biotics I never used. started taking them and the pain started easing away the next day! I hope this helps someone. AlsoIf you continue to snort pills use the opposite side of which u were using when the pain occurred. I used the same side and the pain started again a couple months later. Started taking anti biotics again and it went away!

Suboxone treatment is the best way to stop and not have the withrawals.

I did suboxone also. It is not a withfrawal thing it is a pain/burn thing. I have no withfrawal symtoms but the pain/burn in my face is so bad I can not function. I went to ER and they did not even help me. I am also stuck and dont know what to do. I hate it and want to stop so bad so I can live a normal life. Wish you much luck as I do my self.

It;s a sinus infection for sure.trust me,I do the same thing as you,have been for years...now I have chronic sinusitis from blasting subutext.it *****

Yes the pain comes from doing it and yet doing it numbs the pain. Its Hydrocodone and in researching I see a lot of people have the same problem but no amswers. The pain is tremedous, the longest I have made it was 3 days and it got worse and worse. Even ER did not help me.

Hydrocodone for about 3 years. Have stopped all except what it takes to put the fire in the middle of my face out. I hate it and want to stop completely but cant sleep or function due to face pain and burn. Went to ER a few weeks ago and they cant seem to help.

Everyone has different physical withdrawals. Mine is a pain in my chest and restless legs. Sometimes my legs hurt so bad I punch them as hard as I can. Which doesn't help by the way.

The more you snort pills the worse the pain gets.
I snorted pills almost everyday for about three years, once I got clean my nose bled HEAVILY for about six months. I STILL have severe pain, but if you WANT to get clean it will be worth it.
I now have a clear head and now that I am not adding anymore pain to my body and one day it will heal.
Have faith in yourself because you can overcome this.

Have you tried going to N/A classes?
I was a pill addict for three years and once I got arrested I was forced to go to N/A classes. It has completely changed me. They give you the stength quit. It's hard, but if you WANT to stop. You'll stop. Don't let the addiction control you, YOU control it. YOU tell it you want to stop, leave it, forget it, and move on from it. You can do this. :)

I just wanna say that I am going through the same thing with snorting pills up my nose. I been doing hydro/oxycodone up my nose for the last 5 years and have spent the last 2 years with the crazy bad nose pain if I don't snort them! Even taking them orally doesnt help. I went so far as to go to a ENT doctor and of course I didn't tell them that I snort pills. They said I might be possible I have wegener's granulomatosis. I thought about it and did some research and I find it hard to believe cause I don't have any other symptoms all the time. I got a prescription for Lidocaine Viscous which is a oral form of local anesthetic and that gives me temp relief when I put it in a old affrin bottle and spray if up my nose 4 or 5 times. It really helps kill the pain but ultimately I am still hooked on snorting my pills and snorting the painkillers kill the pain in my nose for alot longer than my lidocaine. So i still feel stuck! I want off these damn painkillers I have completed withdrawal 4 times in the last 5 years it is just that hard. I have relapsed every time. I will say this though. The last time I quit i had the lidocaine to help me with the nose pain and it really did help. And my nose pain has never been as bad sinse the last time i detoxed. That is not to say it doesnt hurt now but I think since I gave my nose a break it help. But I am so horribly addicted to my painkillers that I relapse everytime and am very frustrated. The life of an opiate addict ***** so bad. I never get very much sleep and I take more drugs just to deal with the fact that my tolerence is so high to the opiates that i don't have enough to be well all the time.

I have been snorting hydrocodone for about 2 yrs now and I never had this pain until about a month ago its a burning in my nose and face, I know this sounds bad but the only way to make the pain go away is to snort more pills, I want to quit more then anything in this world but as long as I have this pain it's impossible. If anyone knows of anything that will help pls pls pls let me know

Hi, I had the same problem from storting pills. It didnt happen this last time I relapsed though. lashamummy is right though. I know because thats how I got it to stop. It is called NeilMed Sinuflo Ready rinse. It is saline. I bought it at CVS. It works pretty good. I used that for a week. I only did it every other day though, cuz it does hurt if you do it when you have the pain in your nose. It felt so much better, the last few times I storted pills, it almost made me puke. It felt like my nose was too clear and it just went straight to the back of my throat. Im not saying do it so you can snort more , of course. But I would definitly go get some. Its only about 8 or 10 bucks. If that doesnt work, id find some way to get to a dr. Apply for medicaid or whatever you have to do, because it seems like it would have just gotten worse if I never did anything for it. Good luck, hope it gets better !

Do you snort pills like vicodin? If so, that's a mountain of tylenol with only a very little narcotic. I hope you can stop!

been snorting hydrocodone for years. started because of of back problems, but now everything is worse. if I don't snort, my nose and face hurts and burns. After a snort the pain there eases off. what is that product that you mentioned? Can't go to the doctor, don't have any kind of insurance, so I cant afford any big bills.
