olivia115 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Intriguing title for a post right?! So, I have little cold right now and I go into my medicine cabinet and see "AYR saline nasal gel". EW. I completely forgot I used to use that when I used adderall, because all my mucous membranes would dry up, crack and bleed. This was the only that made breathing through my nose bearable at times. SO GLAD I don't have to shove GEL up my nose anymore, haha! Once again, it's the little things that are getting me through this day by day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hah, I used to use a neti pot almost daily! Definitely don't miss feeling like I HAVE to clear my sinuses just to be around people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Craziness. I had the exact exact opposite problem. Ever since I quit I have had to use nasal gels. I never had to use them before i quit. I have spent so much money on Nelli meds nasal gel its not even funny...at night I can't breathe a lot of times unless I use that stuff..it's gotten much better though. When I just quit, it was bad...it's gotten better since then.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Well, to be fair the congestion would only happen when I wasn't on adderall in the mornings and would go away after I took some. I do my fair share of nose blowing, now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motivation_Follows_Action Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I wonder if this has to do with how you ingest or ingested the adderall? I only snorted it once and it made absolutely no difference really (I was already sky high when I did it so that's not a good place to take an accurate read anyway), but I do remember waking up the next morning and I had ulcers in the back of my throat (and blue nostrils...). My nose would constantly run on adderall and I'd be flushed, all the time. Glad those days are over. While we're on the ENT topic, I read last week that benzos can cause watery eyes?!?

quit-once Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 I remember my mom used to use that nose gel all the time because her oxygen would dry out her sinuses. It was kind of hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivia115 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I never snorted adderall since I was taking dexedrine spansules, it would have been too much work to break all those beads. I did use to chew them though, and I would notice canker sores in my mouth when I did that. I think I just overloaded my body with the vasoconstrictive effects of it and unfortunately my nose paid the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
