Decades ago my nose got addicted to Afrin and it was hellish getting off of it.
The warning not to use it more than 3 days is real.
I would rarely ever need to use it except for the fact that I use CPAP and that thing stops my nose up tighter than cement if I don’t give the nose a squirt of that mist.
I have an annual appointment coming up with my pulmonologist next month. I will mention it to him and see what he says.
