Can you fucking believe that? I would have never dreamed it was anything but harmless... But nooooo, it's the devil. Around a year ago, I had a cold that caused a stuffy nose. I used nasal spray, and after the cold passed, my nose stayed stuffed... So I kept using it. For the past year I've been convinced this was a symptom associated with my allergies, and have daily huffed the stuff.
I finally looked into it and learned that I have a condition called rebound congestion. The blood vessels and whatever else in my nose swell and depend on the medicine to take them down, kinda like they forgot how to do it themselves... Now I have to quit cold turkey and live in misery a few months with constant congestion that won't allow me to breathe even the smallest bit through my nose, or else there can be serious damage. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Don't use nasal spray. ![]() I guess I'm wondering if you have had any unlikely addictions? My only other remains to be ChapStick, can't live without it. I welcome side effect stories as well, or whatever you want to talk about. ![]() |

My addictions have changed over the years. I have gone from drug addict/alcoholic to a cigarette every now and then........but I don't know if I was actually addicted or I just did them cause i wanted too.

I'm addicted to chap stick. I have 20 of them around the house. If I don't have one within reach I go into a panic.
I smoked for like 10 years, but quit 2 years ago.

![]() I guess i'm addicted to cigarette somewhat. I don't smoke all the time. Usually only when I drink. Once I get like one beer in me I start craving for one. I think its more of a metal thing then anything. I really wish I could stop, but at the same time I enjoy it... I'm addicted to coffee too. I have like 3-4 a day. Sometimes i'll try driving home without one, and let me tell you, thats one tough drive.

I apparently only get addicted to weird shit.
I've smoked, drank alcohol... And Pepsi, coffee, whatever... Never been addicted to any of it. I don't smoke at all now, I hardly ever drink (A glass of wine or champagne every few months?), and can go without caffeine for weeks and not be bothered. But a few squirts of meds in my nose, and I'm totally screwed. I suppose the Tylenol PM thing is an addiction... I don't have bad effects without it, I just don't sleep. But I didn't sleep before I started using it, so I am not fully aware of it's effects. I'm with you on the ChapStick thing though Exo, I have so many and there's one in every room, in the cars, in my purse, my pocket, etc... I can always find it when I need it. If I happen to leave without it, I stop and buy one first thing. Last edited by SodaGirl; 09 Apr 2007 at 05:51 PM. |
