Quote:The problem with the nasal sprays is the reaction you get as soon as you stop taking it. It's 10x worse than the allergies.

That applies to sprays with oxymetazoline which is in most decongestant sprays. Stay away from these sprays. You can quickly become dependent and when you stop using, the rebound congestion is horrible. It's good for when you're sick and need a night of relief from congestion, 2 nights MAX. For daily allergies stay away at all costs. Corticosteroid sprays like nasacort are fine, but take a few days of use before getting desired results.

I would recommend zyrtec and nasal saline sprays. Ocean brand from Wal Mart is good. Neti pot is best. Lately I've been using nasal irrigation machine from target called sinu pulse elite. I use this once a week and zyrtec every other day or as needed. That combo has been great for me. Also a HEPA filter in the bedroom has helped out greatly. Claritin CAP529-U
