Or what is the best way to go about getting treatment?

Is it normal for half your nose to always feel blocked?

You probably don’t think about it much, but if you did, you’d notice that it often feels like one nostril or the other is always plugged. So we’re wondering if that’s even normal? Let’s find out!

Answer by som
The best treatment option will obviously vary from person to person. With suboxone you are less likely to continue using, since you cant ,it blocks other opiates, unlike with methadone… However, methadone (for me at least) had the benefit of still providing a slight amount of fuzzyness (?) which meant it didnt feel as much of a change from heroin as suboxone did and so was an easier step. however… methadone is apparently the harder drug to come off of, having only been through heroin and methodone withdrawals i cant speak for suboxone but methadone was harder to come off of than heroin (the withdrawal lasted longer etc) and i had reduced to a mere 5ml before i stopped.
