> Ok i went to the pharmacy and obtained a nasal decongestion spray that had a real pump. Not that crap that you squeeze the entire bottle and end up with a different dose everytime. I emptied it by spraying it out in the air and i counted the times it took to empty it. It was about 100 pushes on the pump to empty it, the bottle said 10 ml. I then took a syringe with a needle on it and pushed it through the plastic on the top side of the little plastic "can" and sprayed in water a couple of times which i sprayed out until i figured it was cleaned out from the oxymetazoline solution. I then proceded to fill it with 8 ml of water and counted the times it took to empty it. About 80 pushes. So now i had a pretty accurate dosage calculated. I dissolved 8 mg Subutex in 8ml of water and injected it into the nasal spray bottle. And if i'm counting this right i get 0.1 mg per push or at least very close to that. I haven't started using it yet, i will wait until my blood levels fall to a lower level. Then i will try to take one spray per nostril every 60 minutes, which will make a total dose of about 2 - 3 mg per day depending on how long i sleep. I will keep you posted on my little experiment. If anyone is interested?>

Wow, I'm really impressed. I can't imagine myself even thinking up such an approach, let alone following through with it. I wonder if there are other meds that could be administered this way, and if it might prove more beneficial than ingesting them. Like MAO inhibitors - might this not be an even better, and safer, route than the patch for getting an MAOI into your system? Might this technique reduce the amount of a med needed to attain effect - and reduce the number or severity of side effects as a result?
