Suggest Treatment For Withdrawal Symptoms Due To Snorting Pain Killers
hello, im 21 years old, 140 lbs, 5' 3", and female. This is embarassing, but i have been addicted to pain killers for the last three years, over the last 2 years ive been snorting them non-stop. i quit and detoxed, my sobriety lasted roughly 6 weeks and i began snorting them again, now im trying to quit and cant because of severe nasal, throat, and oral pain. ive tried saline rinses, different creams, and i cant find anything that seems to help the pain even be tollerable, the only thing that takes it away is snorting a pill.

Hello,
Good morning,
I read your history twice in which your wish is to quit snorting for painkillers...
First of all I introduce snorting drugs like oxytocin n oxymethadone which are taken by nasal route n these drugs have highly addictive potentials... even these deugs can damage your airway also...n sudden stop lead to withdrwal symptoms like muscle pain sleep disturbance diarrhoea etc...
So first of all do not stop suddenly...
Try to stop after gredually reducing it...or shift to oral drug n then gredually reduce the dose of that drug...
For that I have to know in snorting which drug you are snorting n one examination by orl( ent) surgon is must to know about your airway damage...n for deaddiction you can consult psychiatrist...
Thank you,
Regards,
Dr.Ravi Kotecha
