Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride addiction anyone?

I've been addicted to OH for about 4.5 years now and today I decided that I've damaged myself enough and just stopped. It's just something I wanted to share this here because I wanted someone to just listen.

I am so proud of you. So very proud. Thank you for realizing it is hurting yourself and for loving yourself enough to do better. Please stay clear of the OH from now on. 鉂わ笍馃

@LadyGrace Thank you.

This from Harvard Health

The best way to break the cycle is to cut down on the medication in a gradual, methodical way. Some people even taper off one nostril at a time. If you end up being just too congested to breathe, you could ask your physician for a prescription for a nasal steroid spray. The steroid sprays sometimes help with "withdrawal." However, most people successfully wean themselves from ordinary nasal sprays just by steadily and consistently decreasing the amount they use.
