Addicted to Afrin nasal spray. Not that i fiend for it and can't wait to get a hit or anything, it just seems like my nose is always stuffed up and Afrin works so i use it. I've heard it can do damage to your sinuses over time so I'd like to find a way to get off the stuff, plus it's expensive. Anybody else stuck on this stuff or overcome their reliance on it?

Yes it can make people dependent on it....there has to be a way that you can wean off. Like anything though things will probably get worse before they get better.Veritas Vos Liberabit -
Re: I'm an Addict
that's what i'm afraid of, i've used this stuff called sinus buster which is capsaicin based and burns like hell. it just wasn't effective, supposedly overtime it's effectiveness increases as you get the effects of Afrin out of your system but that stuff is rough. i've considered going to an allergy clinic but don't know that i'd have time to do weekly injections. might have to reevaluate that though because i've heard good things about those clinics.Respectfully,

Re: I'm an Addict
Ive been hooked on it. Just come off and suck it up until the rebound congestion goes away. try pseudofed first couple of nights when its real bad. I've also heard but not confirmed that there are traces of mercury or some other toxin in it which can have side effects over time. Thats just second hand info I've heard though..Comment

Re: I'm an Addict
Had a friend who was on same thing, it was so annoying to be around him. He was constantly sniffing the stuff. When he wasn't he was sniffing the air like a elephant.

Re: I'm an Addict
yeah that's what sucks, it's very effective, then you can't live without it. i use it on average 3 to 4 times a day. couldn't sleep thru the night without a couple hits before bed. sucks!Respectfully,

Re: I'm an Addict
My wife uses Nasacort. Is that the same thing? she uses it once a day in the AM and is good for the whole day. Should she stop using it?Comment

Re: I'm an Addict
man, good question. I tried nasacort once it was released, got two bottles and felt that it wasn't as effective as afrin. maybe i didn't give it enough time. if she's only using it once a day I'd say she's okay. I'm using afrin 3-4, sometimes 4-5 times a day just out of necessity. if she's okay with a single dose I'm jealous!Respectfully,

Re: I'm an Addict
No Nasacort is a allergy nasal spray. Not the same thing. If that's what her doctor prescribed her and that's how she's supposed to use it and drive on.Originally posted by jandkk24 View PostComment
