r/QuitAfrin

I asked my higher self/spirit guides to help me quit twice and it worked. 🤷‍♀️ in a few days I could breathe fine like nothing ever happened. Both times I used for over a year. Try it.

ive been using nasal spray for 3 years now, and i need to quit. i use it 4 or more times a day! but i dont think i have the willpower for cold turkey. im applying to grad programs and have a huge year of traveling ahead of me, so i cant NOT be sleeping. is it possible to just slowly start using it less and less?

For 15 years, my life was ruled by butane gas. At my worst, I was inhaling 12 cans a day just to get through the 24 hours. I am sharing my story to break my silence, to document what that level of use has done to my health today, and to show anyone else trapped in this cycle that they are not alone.

Ive been addicted to nasal decongestant for years and i constantly catch viral colds and flus. One or two per week. I have young children but the severity and frequency of the colds is not normal. Does anyone else suffer this weird side effect. My nose never runs anymore and i dont sneeze. I never get sinusitis or infection in sinuses anymore because they are constantly dry.

Hello all. I have been hooked on afrin for the last 4-5 months. This morning I woke up and it didn't work at all. My use became more and more frequent the last few months. Probably got up to 7-10 sprays per day in the last few weeks.

I know I need to quit, and I ordered allermi today. But I cannot miss work this week. I currently work a customer service gig where I am speaking on the phone for 7 hours a day. I know I need to quit, but does anyone have any quick fix advice?

If I go 24 hours no afrin, will I get it to work again? I saw someone say to do some heavy exercise to get my sinus unclogged and then try using Afrin again. Has anyone have experience with any temporary fixes?

I need to hang on by the skin of my teeth for another 5 weeks or so before I qualify for FMLA at my job. I cant effectively do my job with this clogged nose. And I think if I can wait it out until I can take FMLA I will actually be able to address this afrin addiction.

Any long time users have any tips to get this stuff working if you experienced periods where it stopped?

I know I need to quit afrin for good and I booked an appointment with ENT, but I cannot be seen until October. I ordered Allermi and that will not show up for at least another week. I don't want to lose my job its the best gig I've ever had. But I really don't think I can do my job in my current condition.

Hey everyone, it took me a long time to realise it, but I became addicted. I was on 2-3 sprays a day for a few years now, but I'm going to commit to quitting cold turkey today. I gathered all the bottles in all my rooms, from my bags, anywhere I had them kept in case I felt like I need a spray, and dumped them in the bin. I got a big week of university ahead of me, so I've gotten some saline and vapor rub to help.

Wish me luck!!
