I have seasonal allegry and catch cold and cough. I do sneeze a lot during this seasonal trasitions if i walk in the sun. Doctor prescribed me to use Flucticone nasal spray and i have been using it for about 9 months more or less regularly. I wish to quit it for the fear of getting addicted to it for life and also to escape the side effects of the steroids. Please help me .

Continuous use of Flucticone nasal spray would lead to addiction undoubtedly. Better use it occasionally. Why don't you start doing some breathing exercises after consulting a specialist? We can get rid of so many ailments by adopting age-old remedies and exercises. Our body system requires less medication and more a natural way of living.

All saline sprays are addicting, excluding pure saline. Watch out for the 'rebound effect.'

No - but you will become resistant and need larger doses every time till it stops working on you altogether.
