Advantages: Fast clearing, convenient

Disadvantages: addictive

I was young when I started using Vicks nasal Spray. It worked so great on my allergys and my stuffy nose I kept using it. Being young I didn't know I was only supose to use it for a week. And im not sure if my parents even read the label. Ten years later I was addicted to the nasal spray. With out it my nose wont unclog naturally. My parents are now telling me to stop using it, but they dont understand that ten years I have used it and I need serious help. I guess they figure its just nasal spray and I can stop using it whenever I want. No matter what I tell them they dnt understand. I buy a bottle every week or less, and nothing else works. Its embarrassing to have to use it all the time. ILL be at the mall or at school and I will have to use it every hour or so. Sometimes my nose will bleed. I dont know what to do. Ive read it can cause serioucs damage to my nose and i wont be able to smell. IM so worried and I have no money to fix this. I was young they should have child restrictions or something shouldnt they? it should say not for kids under 12. I dont know I was only ten when I started and now I cant stop. Is there any way I can recieve help from anywhere? I could support a third world country on all the money I've spend on vicks. I suggest parents are more careful with the nasal sprays and use another medicine.
