Anyone addicted to Otrivin?

[*Ms BoOTy*]

This should be an interesting topic.

But I was just curious if anyone besides me has a problem with
nose spray..being that I cannot breath without this stuff.
Due to many other problems...such as a bad car accident 4 years ago and has fractured my nose...making my breathing worse.
But I'll wake up in the middle of the night...and I cannot get a pinch of air through my nose.
Not because Im all snotted up..but be/cause my nose has like...
swollen.
So my question is...does anyone else have to use this?

you may want to see a doctor.

not being able to breathe without using something to constict your blood vessels if probably a slightly important problem.

THANKS!
But you know whats funny about that...It was a doctor that TOLD me to go buy otrivin b/c I had alergies at the time.
Ever since then..iVe been using it.
Having also a fractured nose doesnt help (which im going for surgery)
But thanks everyone for the input...i was just curious:Keebler:

i like how it feel chunky when you got the whole nasal drip thing going on..haha its great and you know that shit tastes great too..
like when you puke up a big extra that wasnt quite cooked and the tomato is still in one piece.
ya i love that shit!:231:

OMG....thats so wierd...I didn't think anyone else had this problem.... i've had to take nose drops every day since grade 9(i'm in grade 12 now)...i used to take Otrivin, but I like the no name London Drugs brand better...

You're right, I can't sleep without them, I used to have to take them twice a day cuz it would be hard 4 me to breathe properly during the day too but now I just need them at night...

I think i used them for about a week when I had a cold and i've used them ever since..if i don't take them i can't sleep, i keep waking up and arg...it used to be frustrating but i'm used to it know. It's like brushing my teeth, it's a routine now.

:049: Wierd..i didn't think anyone else had this problem!!

Hey...yah ME TOO!
and you know whats funny..i like the NO NAME london drugs shit better too...it works better.
But you know what works best of all...the Menthol shit.

Now this should get a laugh out of everyone...
us comparing what nose sprays we use and like better.
LOL

yah i hate it thought..im totally dependant on it.
it sucks! :052:

i was like that for so long
my nose would make itself snuffy when i wasnt sick
so id take it every night - and somethimes in the mornings before working out
then my mum figured out where all the spray was going and she took it away
its an addiction and as soon as you stop taking it you arent snuffy at all

i used to have that before going to sleep stuffy nose problem
once i took too many shots of that stuff in the nose...my eyes started to wobble uncontrollably >:|
thats when u know u had too much

[galaxie]

my aunt was addicted to Otrivin when she was pregnant........I use it like mad when I'm sick or during allergy season!

hahahahaha

i usually use the pediatrition otravin because it isnt as harsh on the nose insides... and it isnt as addictive, but this also kinda means it isnt as strong. if you got a baaad addiction, i say switch to the pediatrition kind then slowly take yourself off. having a stuffy nose is hell, no one likes it.
but the nose swelling thing doesnt sound right, and if it is just swelling then take a coupl of anti-inflamatories before you go to bed and they will prevent the swelling.

i used to be soooo hooked on that stuph a couple years back, it was hard to quit, haha it sounds like some crazy drug, builds a dependency though, gets annoying having to chew with your mouth open becuase you cant breathe any other way, not to pretty either

[pony]

i'm addicted to my seabreeze.... does that count??
i use it when i pop(obviously) but also when i'm at
home smoking doobies, before i go to bed, when i
wake up and when i run out of menthols......... ;)

crazy i never thought i would see this post again..i made this post Nov 2001...geesh.

btw...ive moved up in the world, im using Dristan Menthol spray now yo..shit works! and my FRIENDS are using it now too...hahahah :kam:

I've been stuck on this stuff for about 2 years. Mainly dristan & otrivin. It's seems if I don't use Iit I get killer head aches and can't sleep and it's impossible to breath. I wish there was an easy way to stop using it

otrivin and any spray medicines are SUPER bad for your sinuses. If you use them more than a few days then you get rebound inflammation. This is when your sinuses swell more than they did before you used it.

Rebound congestion with prolonged use (4-5 days). Rebound congestion is associated with overuse and may take several weeks to reverse.

Put it down. take some ibuprofen and suck it up.
