I find the most effective nasal sprays also give me terrible withdrawal symptoms. Like, I'd use them for a few days at night, alternating nostrils and then when I stop, my nose is closed shut for the next few days.


Some nasal sprays have salt in them in addition to whatever drug they have, which unblocks the nose immediately but is extremely addictive. The ones that have just the drug don't have this issue in my experience


This is common with Afrin (oxymetazoline). It’s only meant for short term use for this reason. This shouldn’t be the case with fluticasone.
