For pain, are crushing pills and snorting them more effective  than swallowing them?

Actually it would cause you to get a greater concentration of whichever pain killer you snort into your blood as you are bypassing the digestive system. However, it would definitely be a bad idea for the reasons listed above and because you would have no idea how much to snort safely

For one thing? What in the world would you want to snort Vicodin for? It would probably make your nose bleed.You know it is just as effective swallowing the pill.Maybe you have a problem with drug addiction and need to seek help.

I know of people that do , and they claim that the reason for it is that it works faster than swallowing it and waiting for a reaction. Never did it personally, but that's what I've been told!

Yes, it's way stronger than morphine and much, much stronger than percocet because percocet is tylenol with a bit of an opioid (morphine-like) drug in it. Hydromorphone is an opioid. I would say it is more addictive because there is more opioid in it than percocet and because it is a stronger opioid, and that is what makes you feel high, as well as relieving pain. If you are worried about becoming addicted, relax, less than 1% of people get addicted to painkillers. You might experience some dependence, where your body feels funny if you stop suddenly, in which case the doc would wean you off the drug. That isn't addiction. Addiction is when you crave the drug and need it psychologically to function. Whew, long answer.

I find capsules go down easier with something thick like milk or a smoothie while tablets are easiest with something fizzy like pop.\nI have problems swallowing them too!!

Nitrous oxide is an analgesic guys...it is still used but is minimally effective which is why it isn't used often.  Becuase it is an analgesic and not an anesthetic it does not get you numb...you still feel the pain (even at high concentrations you react to the pain) but you care less about the pain.  It has to be used in conjunction with anesthetic...so you would still get an injection.   In adults the effects are decreased, which is why it is mostly used on children and young adults.  From another standpoint, it takes longer to administer the nitrous for a procedure....and anything that is minimally effective and takes longer to use is often avoided by dentists.

It does not matter whether you can addict to heroin easier than cocaine or should bother to use a needle for it.If you aim melting your brain both would do efficiently sooner or later.No difference in their final harmful (often lethal) effect for you.

Yes, the same thing. Also, swallow it with 8 oz. of Clorox Bleach, to be sure it takes properly!

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.

They won't do you any harm and make the medication more easily absorbed - but don't take them if you have upper abdominal pain. That is a symptom of a bowel brockage and anything fizzy is bad then. But that is quite rare.

it burns and could cause some damage to the nasal cavity\n\nwhen it comes to pain killers you really should just chew them up a bit and swallow..

If you re having a hard time getting them down, ball them up and take them like pills.  Or put them on peanut butter crackers.  I think the biggest problem I had was chewing them.  SO the pill thing woks best.

It can be if you start drinking Coke instead water. Coke also can take the calcium out of your bones, which makes them weak and easier to break.

Because research and studies have been done to determine the best dosage. Less might not work for your problem. too much probably will not hurt you once but if you do it consistently you may end up with liver or organ damage.If you take too much of certain medications it will kill you.Most people do not die from overdoses but may end up with brain damage. Is it worth it?
