    What medication are the pills?

    Edit: After some research it appears the pills are Estradiol 2 mg. This medication is used in the treatment of menopause symptoms and as a hormone for gender affirming care for those that are transfeminine.

          Of course, thanks. It was college and I only did it once. It was an interesting experience; I thought, wow this is what normal people feel like? Being relaxed instead of being fixated on your surroundings.

            You actually would have absorbed more of it if you had just ate it. Benzos don’t get absorbed in the nasal pathways, all the effects came from the nasal drip into your stomach.

              I see, does that make it more effective when it’s under the tongue? I was told to do that in case of a panic attack.

                Yeah it works well sub-lingually, faster as your psychiatrist or pharmacist stated. Plus anything that doesn’t get absorbed sub-lingually through the membranes will end up in the stomach anyway.

                Its good that the drug is absorbable that way because some people have a lot of trouble swallowing pills during a panic attack.

                  It sucks it’s so restricted now. I don’t do well with flying and countries I go to don’t allow the majority of em. It’s odd that I get such a hard time when I get them for flying because I have to say this type, this (lowest) dosage. I fall under scrutiny but it’s like this is all that’s allowed there… as they try to prescribe me a horse tranquilizer dosage while I ask for the lowest possible one.
