Question about rebound hyperemia

I started taking Visine a year ago when I noticed my eyes were kind of red from allergies/tiredness. I've just found out about rebound hyperemia, and want to quit before I harm my eyes anymore. So my questions are:

1. How long would it take for my eyes to recover if I quit cold turkey?
2. At what point would my symptoms(i.e. redness) be the worst after quitting?
3. How can I diminish redness after quitting?

I'm in high school, and am not able to get a lot of sleep at night due to the typical messed up Circadian rhythms thing. When I have not used eye drops for a day or two in the past, I've been called a stoner and other similar things. I really don't want to hear that kind of stuff on a regular basis while my eyes are recovering, but am not sure what else to do.

1.  A few days to a week if there is not another problem present.

2. Depends on the cause of the redness.

3. Treat the cause of redness.  Please see an EyeMD.

Assuming the only problem is dependence on the visine, and not dry eye, at what point would you think the redness would be worst after quitting the visine?
