About Nose Sprays:
There's absolutely no high when using nose spray. What you get is clear wide-open nasal passages. Nasal spray is a God-send when you have a bad cold or allergies and you can't breathe. The directions say only use 3-4 days or so. Beyond that you start to develop a physical addiction. This means that abrupt cessation results in your nasal passages swelling shut for up to 4 - 8 days or so with virtually no relief until they open back up naturally again, i.e. breathing through your mouth for about a week, day and night. NO. FUN. You can get migraines and bad headaches from having swollen nasal passages. You're uncomfortable in your head for about a week. There's no nausea or or anything like that. Your sinuses are going through physical withdrawals.
Look at my post above you.
This is a new one to me...I am curious...what is the addiction? Does it give you a high? I have just never heard of this..
Thanks...I do hope you get thru this and I am sorry this is so tough for you..keep us posted
For me it was the freedom to breath clearly. No high just clear nasal passages. Mine were/are usually plugged. It isn't a true addiction but rather, the more you use it the less effective it becomes or it just doesn't last as long.
I am just curious I don't know what nose spray feels like I was wondering what it makes you feel like that keeps u coming back to it? Is it like take pills? Do you get a I feel hops feeling? And I wish yous the best of luck stoping. I'm clean 2 week now from percs.
Oh and what you are experiencing is called nasal rebound. When you spray, your nose clears but then the body kicks back in to plug the nose back up.
