r/QuitAfrin

i am quitting afrin cold turkey after ~3 years of using it. i haven't used it since about 1 pm and its currently 9 pm. i am LOSING MY MIND. i would use give or take 10 sprays a DAY. this is the hardest thing ever but i am so tired of getting headaches every day from it, and being reliant on it.

i have currently used one tip i saw on tiktok to spray a q tip with a bit of it and swab some in your nostrils. i only did my right nostril, and it helped i guess.

im just so scared of tomorrow. any advice is appreciated!!

Didn’t know the effects of Afrin, been on it for a month, now I’m super congested and can’t sleep. I’m anxious just hoping I can work through this I decided to quit cold turkey.
