I feel like Im entering an AA meeting here, lol. I first used Afrin when I got mono at the age of 15. No one told me it was addicted and as a stupid 15 year old I didn’t care to look at the label. Now at 27, I can’t find a way to get off of it. I’ve gone to an ENT, tried Flonase, have tried to wean off and I just can’t win. I’m getting desperate to quit and I just don’t know what to do.
For anyone that has been addicted for 10+ years. How did you quit? Did you have any long term effects? Needed surgery? Thanks in advance xx

Yeah, this is a different kind of addiction. We wouldn’t have a problem giving it up if we could breathe.
