How to stop afrin rebound Videos

Hey Bill, I've been using an Oxymetazoline based 12 hour solution off and on for 4-5 years. The longest I've been without using it was probably 6 months. But when allergy season strikes up again, I'm right back on it. Went to the doc today and was put on steroids and antibiotics for a sinus infection (which I never used to get) and was told I absolutely had to stop with the sprays. But, because I also use a CPAP machine, having a stuffy nose makes it difficult if not impossible to use which also disrupts my sleep. The steroid pack I got today will last me a week and should allow me to get a good jump start on getting off of the sprays. I bought some Simply Saline nasal mist today to help. If this doesn't work, I'll be trying your method for sure! Thanks for posting!

Hey Bill, thank you for making this video. I have never been addicted to afrin but I have heard of people becoming addicted. I am on day four of using it every night and morning and tonight I decided to search for videos to see if afrin addiction was even a real thing. I'm going to try to break this habit before it starts. Thanks for the heads up.

are you a tweaker?

Bill, Thanks for the post. I started trying the method you describe today. I really, really hope it works. As you stated, this is a nasty "addiction" to have.

Yeah I use afrin servere congestion I watched your video and it's working I bought a new bottle used half filled it back up halfway and it's still working right now it's just mostly water finally some relief my dad has been on nose spray for 20 years and swears he can't stop but I'm going to prove it to him thanks bill!

Thank you so much for the comfirmation that it does work. I just saw a specialist a few days ago, he said im addicted also...He gave me the same instructions and ive made my mix, but Ive been so skeptical. I will definitely start today... what do I have to lose..

I had to always have a bottle in my pocket for years. Finally quit it by using otrivin first then flonase AND then the next week only using otrivin in the worst nostril, then tapering ove a couple of days. My nasal passages are by no means perfect but ive been off otrivin for years now, just saline irrigations now during cold season. Thanks for the video, I hope it helps sufferers.

Bill, thank you so much for sharing! A few months ago I got a sinus infection and got hooked on afrin and zicam nasal spray, same active ingredient. I've used these products for years on and off and never had any rebound congestion. Well this time was different. I am now a typical nasal spray addict! I have a bottle in the kitchen cabinet, the bathroom, one beside the bed, and of course one in my purse. It's terrible! I will be heading to the drug store later to get some Flonase and I will be starting this routine tomorrow morning! I can't wait to be off this crap! Thanks again for sharing your experience with us :) ~Dani~

Thank you for the video! I have had at least 3 bottles in use for years. The pump spray ones last me about 2-3 days, and I have failed at every attempt to quit using Afrin! Quitting smoking was easier! I'm starting your protocol today! I am so grateful for finding your video!

Nasal sprays are a nightmare! it's a true addiction! I know this because I went through hell trying to stop using them and all of them are guilty including Afrin. take my advice and don't ever be tempted to use them more than a couple of days if not at all otherwise the rebound effect will make your condition far worse and addicts you to using these drugs or even permanently damage your sinuses

If I knew what nasal sprays do I would have never used them... it's a very addicttive drug and it should not be available over the counter .. and perhaps banned completely. if you are on these drugs the thing to do is to stop using them and if you find it too difficult I heard that you can spray only one nostril until the other nostril recovers and then stop using the spray. Also important to talk to your doctor and explain your condition to him/her. good luck
