seriously?  there is no cocaine in novacaine.  cocaine was used many years ago as an oral anesthetic.  when applied topically, it gives marked anesthesia.  unfortunately, it is absorbs systemically and this radically affects all organ systems.  dentists stopped using novacaine a long time ago.  the general public uses the term to refer to dental anesthesia.  dentists use lidocaine primarily.  other options include procaine, prilocaine, carbocaine, articaine, mepivicaine, marcaine, etc.  each type has indications for use in certain clinical situations.  some have epinephrine and some do not.  in a patinet with a heart condition for example, a doctor will choose an anesthetic without epinephrine in most instances or he/she will limit the use of an epi-containing drug.

One thing i can tell u is that it is highly addictive and expensive habit. If u snot coke it goes straight to your brain. Also, if your an avid sniffer u can damage your nose tissue. Cocaine will actually eat away the tissue in your nose. Play At Your Own Risk!!!

Had a friend hooked on cocaine and opiates.  I wrote about Ibogaine on this site, in fact.  A monkey on his back is a good description.

Yeah, I was at the hotel the night before the physical exam, and these two guys who were going to be in the Air Force wanted me to do some cocaine with them. I said no, they went and did it by themselves. We were going to be piss-tested in the morning. Weird, huh?

How specific do you want them to be?  Heart rate is pretty individual, you know.\nAnyway, I'm sure all drug withdrawal symptoms are just awful but if you read the articles (links below), they all say that with cocaine, the symptoms aren't as bad as for most drugs.\nI don't know if that's a good thing, but that wasn't the question.

It can be very dangerous. Pills are meant to be swallowed and can destroy the lining inside the nose when snorted. This would have to be surgically repaired if damaged. Just don't snort anything.

According to the following website, it depends on the form of cocaine being produced, and looks like some really nasty chemicals are involved (sulfuric acid, kerosene, benzene, ammonia, etc...). Yuck.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine

That's a huge fish story.....true or not. My first question comes from the first arrest as why you didn't go down to the local police station and have your vehicle checked by a drug dog to avoid the second incident. I then wonder why, after the first arrest, you didn't head to your local doctor and get a blood test proving you were not using. This doesn't appear to have been done for the second arrest either. So, what you are left with is a mountain of evidence against you. Considering these are both felonies, any deferment, agreement, plea deal you make will instantly make you a convicted felon, a label that lasts a lifetime. Tread carefully grasshopper, you are in very dangerous waters.

According to doctors, alcohol increases the impact of cocaine sharply. Dr N P Singh, professor of medicine at Maulana Azad Medical College, said, “Cocaine acts as a vaso-constrictor,” which means that it constricts the blood vessels, making blood flow difficult. \n\nIn case of excess consumption of the drug, or an overdose, the person could suffer ‘‘sudden heart attack-like situation, respiratory failure, and in the worst case, even sudden death.’’ Singh said ‘‘with alcohol, the metabolic profile of the drug gets altered and its effect is a lot more intense and long-lasting.’’ But he added that the alcohol content in champagne is low.

Crack cocaine has additives galore. Sodium bicarbonate, and whatever other household additived they have added to it.Considering much of it has been boiled in a spoon with a small amount of cocaine you dont know what your getting.\n\nPure cocane is different, thats why its more expensive. It dosent mean its safer or less addictive.\n\nSo if your getting crack, your alreads stupid enough to be smoking a cocaine bi-product.

I detect a pattern here...there is no other name for caffeine but related compounds are theophylline and theobromine.  In addition, look out for pseudoephedrine.  You don't have to take "sinus" aspirin, just take aspirin.  Now that I think about it, you probably did take pseudoephedrine, which is a decongestant.

Tegretol is used to also treat depression and agressive behavior, it has also been used to treat alcohol withdraw and cocaine addiction.  My husband takes it for depression and I would be willing to bet that if you snort this medication you will not get the high that you are looking for.  The medication will enter your blood stream quickly and become extremely drowsy.  Snorting a medication that's used for cocaine addiction is slightly oxymoron!!!!

My husband has suffered problems with his sinuses for quite some time. He had the sinus surgery (that we jokingly call the Rotor Rooter surgery). The operation worked although it takes months to receive the full benefit of it and at least for my husband, it was quite painful at first.\n\nHaving said that.... he hasn't had really bad problems in over a decade, so he really is glad that he had it done.\n\nCurrently, he has a severe infection that (after having an MRI done) showed a very thick, dense "glob" at the center of the infection. He is taking a heavy duty antibiotic that was cultured to make sure it actually would do the trick. He also must do the saline rinse approx. twice a day for months...\n\nI don't know where you live, or how bad your pain is, but if you happen to be in the San Franciso/San Jose area, they just opened a "Sinus Institute." It's where my husband has gone and they seem to really know their "stuff."\n\nHope this helps...\n\n\nI've included the link below to the institute...\n\nGood luck to you...

Yes it does give you blisters on the outside of the nostril part, but that is after some excessive use, all depends on how pure the cocaine is.

I don't think cocaine would have an impact on a Botox treatment.\n\nBotox is also *not* rat poison.  It is Botulinum Toxin, which is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which causes botulism.  It is a dangerous toxin, but used in small doses (like with Botox) it can be beneficial.
