Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 Has anyone ever studied Metrocream to make sure there's no re-bound effect to using it? In case I have the wrong term, I'm talking about when you take a medication, then it wears off, and your symptomes return WORSE than before. I believe this happens with some nasal sprays used for the stuffiness of a common cold, for example. The reason I ask is that I'm wondering if that's what happened to me. I used the cream pretty much as directed (except only once a day, not twice) for several days, and I did notice that when I got out the shower my face wasn't flushed. Cool. Except, the flushing never really bothered ME; it's my optometrist who wants me to use this stuff. Anyway, one day I forget to use it, and next day when I take my shower, I'm flushing alright--but worse than before I ever touched the stuff! It seems unlikely to me and way too much of a coincidence that my rosecea had progressed that much in such a short time, especially since rather than ignoring it (which is supposed to make it progress) I'd recently starting TREATING IT! I can't help thinking that a natural approach makes more sense for someone like me who has very mild symptoms. When & if it begins to bother me, THEN I could see the point in treating it. But at this point, might I be creating a dependence on a drug I don't even really need? What are your thoughts on this? Has anyone else noticed this re-bound effect also?
