Thank your Very much for your detailed & informative reply.. I'm throwing it out now. I did use it yesterday prior to some yardwork, I was breathing easy as could be.
Today I'm so clogged up, I feel like I have plugs in my nose. Guess I have to ride this congestion out then..
One day's use *will not* cause the rebound effect..

A friend said it burnt out the middle of her nose. I looked up her nose, sure enough, it had a hole opening side to side.
Afrin doesn't do that... coke will
I'm gonna jump in with my...considerable experience in dealing with people that have, uhh, partook in the use of illicit powdery materials up in their frontal olfactory lobes.
PR is correct here.

Just in case the popo is wondering, I don't have any first hand experience with the aforementioned topic, (I'm weird enough WITHOUT chemical enhancement), but I *DO* read a lot...

I can assure you, the popo doesn't really care what a guy who lives in another State and still uses FreeBSD does.

Sinex Ultra-fine mist is pretty good on a particularly bad night... key is to not use it to often or for days/nights on end. Once every few days is fine I think.
That's the same as Afrin - Oxymetazoline Hcl 0.05%.

Oxymetazoline Hcl 0.05% (Afrin and others) is a great product when used with caution. If you have temporary congestion, using it three or four days in a row will not cause rebound congestion when it is discontinued.
For longer-term use, Flonase (And Beconase, Nasonex, Omnaris, Veramyst, and similar medicines containing corticosteroids) is good.
It's a good idea for sleep apnea patients to have a consultation with an ENT.

Sometimes it's good to be inconsequential

I bow to your superior knowledge, especially since I was just making it up as I went.

If you only use it once a day (not twice, as directed), it gives your nose time to recover every day, and you won't get rebound even if you use it for weeks.

I like that advice best..

I have an allergy to something in Texas all year long. I will use Afrin 3 nights only. Then some Fluonase. Then an antihistamine at night. So I try to vary everything because you know everything is going to kill you or rot out your brain if you use it consistently
agreed. I eat chocolate every day and change from Cailler to Toblerone to Hershey to Frey ...
may be you are allergic to Texan
